12. The Strokes - Room On Fire (2003)
The production's turned up louder,everything is bigger, brighter and better for this album that finds the best dressed band around hit their 20's and still experience some angst but really get things rolling as per '12:51':
"We could go and get 40s
Fuck goin' to that partyOh really, your folks are away now?
Alright, let's go, you convinced me"
The Strokes were not just media darlings in 2003. They were forced to refine their sound. They pulled out some new-wave and reggae influences. They rocked out a lot harder on 'Reptilia' and sounded like a prom-band on 'Automatic Stop.' One of the most influential bands of the decade;they got the whole buzz-band thing going. Julian Casablancas and company were on top form on their second effort, creating a great, great going-out album.
