Is This It

Product Information

The album was released in the summer of 2001 and features the singles ‘Hard To Explain’, ‘Last Nite’ and ‘Someday’ all of which were top 20 hits in the UK. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. While frontman Julian Casablancas (son of elite models founder john) drawls like Lou Reed through a busted intercom, guitarists Nick Valensi and Albert Hammond Jr do Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd proud as their sinewy chords intertwine to great effect on the angular The Modern Age and equally neurotic Alone, Together.

When he saw the results — "I knew it was the perfect shot - simple, straightforward, graphic and just so sexy. Following the success of their earlier singles, the Strokes have again found success with songs such as Hard to Explain and Barely Legal. From the opening track "Is This It," the warm, rich sound of the vinyl transports you back in time, as if you were sitting in the studio alongside the band during the recording process.Is this it", is one of those rare musical treats that remains consistently brilliant from start to finish, with its catchy rythyms and chorus lines and tremendous use of the bass guitar, best captured in the albums two stand out tracks (In my opinion anyway) "Barely legal" and "Hard to explain". The New Yorkers’ kickstarter for the 2000s indie scene spawned numerous singles including 'The Modern Age', 'Someday', 'Hard To Explain', and remains cherished by fans old and new.

Additionally, the album's original cover photo was replaced by a less sexually explicit artwork for the US market. With their catchy melodies, raw energy, and stylish image, The Strokes became a leading force in the indie rock scene of the early 2000s. One, it is the ONLY pressing that has the same tracklist as the CD version that came out in 2001, which is how I got to know and fell in love with this album. We carry a broad range of CDs and vinyl (7”/12” singles and LPs) and specialise in indie, alternative, rock, punk, metal plus a few other genres.This was the first vinyl I ever bought alongside Room on Fire at the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame during a trip in 2010. SUCH a great album I think the "Haves" are severely bloated because they unfortunately made the reissue matrix number so similar. The US CD version of the album replaced "New York City Cops" with a newly recorded song, "When It Started", while the vinyl edition retained the original track list. Tracks like "Last Nite," "Someday," and "Hard to Explain" showcase the band's knack for crafting irresistible hooks and catchy choruses.

The Strokes" owe more to "Joy Division" or "The Velvet Underground", than they do to either of the afforementioned (not to say massively over-rated) bands. CRX, Different Strokes, Julian Casablancas, Little Joy, Nickel Eye, Regina Spektor, Summer Moon, The Voidz. is one of the most exciting and energetic debut albums to spring from New York’s long dormant club scene. Is This It" remains a modern classic, and hearing it on vinyl adds a whole new dimension to the listening experience. My only complaints are the package feels like it's missing a lyric sheet and I'm not too keen on the vinyl splatter, would've preferred a teal-ish colour to match the cover art.If someone out there has vinyl copies of the original and later pressings, there are probably subtle runout variations that could differentiate the pressings. With Is This It, their debut album, the Strokes burst onto the music scene with a slouching, drawling rock'n'roll shrug that epitomized the frenetic nostalgia of the early 2000s.

The vinyl itself is of high quality, providing a low noise floor and ensuring minimal surface noise throughout the record. The model (his girlfriend at the time) agreed to pose impromptu in the black leather glove after emerging one morning from the shower.I'm surprised at how long it's taken them to do a pressing with both When It Started and New York City Cops but glad to finally own one.
