Second single from "Angels." Goes for adds May 24th. Angles. Silly silly lockebox. I gotta listen to this. I loved the first single. I have the whole album, just haven't given it a fair listen yet. |

I like this one...but would have preferred "Life Is Simple In The Moonlight" I think that's the best song on the album.

This is a pretty good choice. Strange that "Under Cover of Darkness" is already losing spins.

Fairly obvious choice for second radio release, although my expectations are tempered by the performance of "Under Cover of Darkness"

Looking at their chart performance now. They've always peaked rather lowly for a band that gets so much attention. I really thought "Under Cover of Darkness" was going to be a breakout hit for them. In my mind, it is the "archetypal" Strokes song. I can't imagine them topping it, and it didn't even hit Top 10. I guess they're just critics' darlings.

"Last Nite" still gets a lot of gold play, and occasionally I'll hear "Someday" or "Reptilia". But overall they are more of a cult band.
I've been hearing this on the radio, and it sounds great. I'd love for this to smash, but it doesn't seem likely.

I'm rooting for this because I honestly like the album more than Is This It and this is much more representative of the album's sound than "Under Cover."
