And you know what's really insane? It's like they don't appreciate what they've done.   Full text...


SoundsXP Rating: 8.5

You know, gave the band a break, cos like, First Impressions of Earth is really rather good.  Full text...


E!Online Rating: 8.3

This is a band that knows about making First Impressions.  Full text...


BBC Music Rating: 8.0

If this undeniably talented band are to repay that initial excitement, their fourth album is going to have to offer a great deal more consistency and invention than on display here.  Full text...


Bullz-eye Rating: 8.0

First Impressions of Earth is the album that many were probably expecting from the Strokes the last time around,  Full text...


NME Rating: 8.0

The Strokes are, and have always been, a band that looks great at arm's length - and consequently, 'First Impressions Of Earth' remains, in the best way, untouchable: the first - indeed, maybe the last - word in New York City cool.  Full text...


Spin Rating: 7.6

First Impressions may not be the best Strokes album, but damn if it doesn't feel like the last.  Full text...


InsidePulse Rating: 7.5

It's a concept album with a hidden agenda - fun.  Full text...


Entertainment Ireland Rating: 7.5

Since the loss of their musical virginity, The Strokes have repeated their catchy, 3 minute punk rock formula, varying it only slightly to keep us engaged/purchasing.  Full text...


TinyMixTapes Rating: 7.0

There is indeed more good than bad.  Full text...


StylusMagazine Rating: 6.7

The Strokes are a good band and First Impressions of Earth is the first pretty good album of the year.   Full text...


CokeMachineGlow Rating: 6.4

The Strokes are still the saviours of rock and still sound as exciting as they did in 2001.  Full text...


PrefixMag Rating: 6.0

Still, from the band we never expected to evolve, there is enough sweeping ambition to have knocked us on our heels - if only the members had learned the art of discretion.  Full text...


MusicOMH.com Rating: 6.0

Panic over, The Strokes still sound, mostly, like The Strokes.   Full text...


Blogcritics Rating: 6.0

The Strokes may be pretty, but man, they can be really boring.  Full text...


Guardian Rating: 6.0

Their trademark trebly sound, meanwhile, has been beefed up into something more closely akin to a Clear Channel programmer's idea of alternative rock.  Full text...


ShakingThrough Rating: 6.0

It's difficult to listen to the album without coming away with the impression that it should really be two different records.  Full text...


Dotmusic Rating: 6.0

Leaping from the speakers in a fury of jarring axe steel, clocking rhythmic beats and clinical vocal swagger, ultimately this LP gives itself - at some 60 minutes length - an awful lot of time to say very little.  Full text...


Drowned in sound Rating: 6.0

Cast away the politics and the last twenty minutes and you'll still be left with two or three top tunes to add to your daily playlists, but it was never going to be ground-breaking or innovative.  Full text...


PasteMagazine Rating: 6.0

To be sure, First Impressions of Earth holds some surprises for listeners expecting yet another set of streamlined downtown rock.  Full text...


PitchFork Rating: 5.9

So one can hardly blame them for cutting their losses and going for broke on their boorishly titled third album, First Impressions of Earth.  Full text...

ManBoy Rating: 9.0

Anonther example of expert songmanship here, every song could be a single, a more mainstream record than the previous two but fantastic nonetheless.


Jake Rating: 7.0

"First Impressions of Earth" has a hidden agenda, an album with the ability to change with the times. This album can therefore be heaqrd forver in the Newyor Rock Scene. Catchy punk sounds will allways be catchy - yet this album is mainstream re-thinking


Cooly Chrissy Rating: 10.0

This is great! The Strokes is a fantastic band. Their songs is full of great riff, beats and Jules' unique voice. Long live The Strokes! What a record


Andrus Rating: 10.0

This is a great album, every song is amazing!!!!!
The Strokes is the best rock band that appeared recently.
My respects and admiration!


Cpt. Coolio Rating: 9.0

this is another great album from the strokes. you can see that this wasnt a rushed album unlike the last two(the last two were still great) its not as good as "is this it" but is a damn fine album. oh yeah and their INDIE NOT PUNK!


Nicole Rating: 9.0

I love this albumn. It's something that you can jump to in a car and enjoy the nightlife with. It's very catchy, I do agree on that. It does have mainstream thinking, but it's still good nonetheless. Good job, guys.


Spanky Rating: 4.0

After the 1st 2 songs, which are all right, you'll be struggling to find any really quality tracks. Ultimately, another album that has failed to live up the brilliance of "Is this it?"


JC Rating: 10.0

Damn i thought this was there best album i liked basically every song it deserved why better reviews than it got.


jjjjjjjjjjjjjccccccc Rating: 10.0

Sophie Rating: 10.0

gator Rating: 10.0

listen to tons of different music but the Strokes stand out as original and trendy and I agree with JC this album should have got way better reviews. Have you heard "You only live once"


yona is a strokeslover Rating: 10.0

i like this newest album. my favourite songs from this album are You Only Live Once, Ize of The World, Evening Sun. actually, i prefer the strokes' first album. but this album sounds good. i love it...


Amazon Rating: 10.0

They are the best. Lirics are perfect. Casablancas is a genius!


chels Rating: 10.0

This is one of the greatest albums ever made.
Every song on it is definatly perfect. Some may say that '15 minutes' is terrible, because Julian sounds drunk and that he actually isnt feeling the music, but i strongly disagree with that.
Unlike many of the reveiwers above, i think that The Strokes are evolving into bigger and better music song by song.
They got it right with 'Is This It' and they got it right again and by listening to all there songs, i am proud to say that i know the next album will also be a hit.
What cant Casablancas do.

Ale Rating: 10.0

Great Album. I wish there was something higher than 10 but thats as high as it goes. My favorite album after all these years. Long live The Strokes!


Nick F Rating: 8.0

The Strokes have gone for a "new sound." This album is no where near as good as is this it or the grossly underrated Room on Fire. Nevertheless this is a great album even though it is lacking in solidarity. Just hope they go back to their original formula for number four.


T Rating: 10.0

Though there are only four or five really good tracks, they are really good tracks. With the proper sound portraid in their best track yet, "You Only Live Once," this album deserves a ten, this song alone earns the whole album a ten.
