THE REVIEW
Ladies and gentlemen, let's also say ladies, given the large number of women the New York quintet manages to take to bed, here are the Strokes.
Impeccable album... It doesn't have a weak point... Tracks that you hear once and you hum forever. Songs like "The Modern Age", "Barely Legal", and "Someday" have nothing to envy from anyone. And should we mention the adrenaline emanating from "NYCCops" and "Take it or leave it"?
Those riffs from Mr. Valensi and Hammond Jr, Fraiture's bass, those simple yet significant tempos from Moretti that contribute to giving their songs incredible musicality, and last but not least, the voice of their leader, Casablancas... Everything perfect, truly perfect, damn it, everything really perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are no other words but these (if you allow me to modify a bit song number 1):
I agree I think I should agree, yeah (with them, of course)

Few CDs in my modest collection give me the same feeling of 'slipping away.'
A timeless album, it could be from the 70s or from next year... In its lack of pretension, it is superb.
By LOR15
A truly short and perfect rock album, with words that stay in your head.
A masterpiece and I don’t want to add anything else. Perfection shouldn’t be commented on. It just is.
By NouQuito
Few bands give me diarrhea as much as the Strokes.
Rock made specifically to be the soundtrack to a Calvin Klein fashion show.
By GATTINATOR
Is This It is an excellent album of 36 minutes where the freshness of the sounds and that meandering unstoppable rock’n roll make it perfect, enjoyable, and fun.
In the end, I realize there’s not one that misses... they all rock!
By Holy Disaster
Many songs on this CD, seemingly calm and collected, unleash an incredible intensity (a clear example is the unmistakable voice of Casablancas).
The Strokes are a happy and good revelation, who have made their way by literally breaking into the global music scene with this CD.
