it's funny he compared them to The Killers. When The Strokes first released "Is This It?", Brandon Flowers of the Killers heard it, scrapped their debut and rewrote it because he was so inspired by them.

[@xshadowscreamx]

Also Interpol

[@cactaceous]

Funny he compared them to The Cars because it's obvious The Strokes are ripping off and have been for some time since Casablancas is a fan of them.

[@Ennui.]

The Killers had "is this it" and "turn on the bright lights" on repeat while making "hot fuss"

[@cactaceous]

@@Ennui. Did they?! That’s so lame copying contemporaries.

[@Ennui.]

@@cactaceous well i wouldn't say they blatantly copied them, but definitely took inspiration from the strokes and interpol... I mean, in the early 2000's there was a little explosion of garage rock, and the killers were definitely a part of it... But imo they're not nearly as successful as the other two... Sure they had Mr. Brightside and a couple of other hits, but the rest of their discography is not as good as interpol and the strokes.

[@Maris0L0L]

What makes the strokes great is that they kept their original sound while still adjusting to the new instrumentals and sounds coming out

[@shadetheband]

I love songs from all the phases of the strokes, and I think the main commonality and thing that holds the phases together is Julians vocals and melody writing. It’s hard for me to agree they kept their “original sound” when you compare this album to the earlier classics. To me overall it’s a different feel. I prefer this newer “vibey” sound over the more grungy garage rock sound of old, that being said I still love the old feel when I’m in the mood for it. I guess it just depends how you define what a bands “sound” is.

[@shadetheband]

There is truth in what you’re saying as I think about it more. They adapted and changed without losing themselves or the elements that hooked people in the beginning. They certainly didn’t “sell out” or go formulaic. So in that sense you’re right. And I wonder if I’m looking at it too micro, and when you look at the big picture they have always had “their sound” and nothing else sounds quite like The Strokes. I guess what I want to know is if you look at their character arc and compare it with other bands natural progressions, would it be fair to say they completely changed their sound, or that they kept their original sound. At the end of the day, it’s good music and I love where their arc has taken them and can’t say the same about all the bands I’ve followed throughout my life.

[@kailawther6280]

Yeah I heard Brooklyn bridge to chorus and couldn't figure out what album it was on. Then I saw it just came out 2020 and that blew me away.

[@NielsToullec]

Yeah they have stuck with their own sound, without trying to satisfy all people in the world. Arctic monkeys eg. have made more slow music the last couple of years maybe to hit a another target group

[@hpu81]

Actually they upgrade their old sound at the final level. Its totally different and better but you can the hear the old sound in the mix

Julians ''deep throat'' singing gives me the ''ball shivers''

[@bloopydoopy7191]

Connor can I just say you have excellent taste in music. I love basically every album you’ve shown your dad so far, only one I hadn’t heard was Father John Misty and have had that on repeat since I watched the video

[@kevinfromttt]

Hey Bloopy !!!

[@ACMendez]

Its so cool seeing your dad dissect the songs as they play and look genuinely excited about them is awesome. This is easily one of my favorite albums ever and by The Strokes. Good stuff you all! 🤝

[@tylermaddux5209]

The first exclusive video I got to watch through the Patreon. It’s definitely worth subscribing to if anyone is wondering, a lot of stuff is cut and the Patreon version really feels like an entirely different video almost like you’re there with them watching it. Thanks again for being my favorite channel on KZbin right now! Y’all introduced me and my girlfriend to this album and it’s all we can listen to now. My favorite track is selfless or ode to the Mets!!

[@thehuellas123]

We NEED another strokes reaction before the year is over!!!!!

[@thisberae]

My favourite band, my favourite voice. Their music is almost like the feeling of nostalgia. Muchas ball shivers.

[@yoauntcarsey]

Love this album. You guys gotta do Turn On The Bright Lights soon

[@eoinking1876]

I swear you guys have grown so quickly. it only feels like a few months ago I subbed at 7k and now you're at 143k. I see why, these videos are so good

[@kevinfromttt]

Thx Eoin ❤️🙏

[@ua1f1]

this is one of my favourite albums EVER and i did not expect a reaction to this ahhh

[@TheMarc1k1]

@37:17 YESSSSSS!!!! I fucking love Keane and Tom, hearing you guys recognize that similarity as well makes me real happy man, its honestly astonishing how much range is in New Abnormal just generally not just with Julian's vocals, that album is basically the only good that came out of 2020 for me.

[@pablojaviergaytanhernandez4409]

The best way to explain the sound of the strokes with the blend of all instruments and the voice of Julian Casablancas is like wearing that pair of jeans that already broken in, and you just love to use on the regular basis

[@heyitsmira17]

During your Silk Sonic reaction, I was so excited seeing The Strokes' album back there, and this time there's Illinois by Sufjan Stevens! Guess we've been through the same indie playlists some years ago lmao

[@henkearn1132]

Discovering this channel feels like when I first discovered the strokes. Instantly in love! And I really envy your father and son relationship, so awesome.

[@BBB8BBB]

12:30 literally me every time while listening any The Strokes song

[@melodicchronic5181]

The thought that the drums on The Adults Are Talking are electronic is an understandable one, but Fabrizio is just so precise that they sound a little electronic. However, as far as I know, the whole album is all acoustic drums. Super impressive. And the solo breakdown in Selfless has become one of my absolute favorites. I wake up with it in my head all the time.

[@kurrutako89]

I had so much fun watching Kevin enjoy this album, he didn't see that coming! I never got to it last year and I've only recently listened to it, and it hit me hard. I didn't expect such a comeback at this point, I'd argue it's one of the best things they've done if not their finest. Not a single bad song in there.

[@porkchop002]

Another banger episode. Love this so much man. Introduce your Dad to that Interpol record behind you. I can imagine him really getting into Turn On the Bright Lights

[@Ch538Q]

This is one of my favorite albums of all time, I’m excited to see what’s in store!

[@joebro3979]

8:20 I cried laughing but also because how awesome yalls relationship is. yall are just genuine freinds having fun

[@marmarino2070]

I love this album to death. I LOVE THE STROKES. It so cool to hear people enjoying it too.

[@daryldraws8083]

This Album seems and sounds like a collection of their best songs, but no it's just their latest album!

[@onasmerjil24]

Ode to the Mets might be my favorite strokes song ever, great reaction bros

[@ttixolo]

its so awesome seeing u guys get more comfortable with each other after every video, takes me back to when the amsp reaction popped up in my recommendation page 5 months ago and how much you've evolved ever since

[@giorgiomorongas8292]

The Strokes, Julian and his dad listening The new abnormal, Dad Jokes, this video has everything. Great video!

[@bennynthedecks]

Really cool that you picked up on the Frank Ocean connection! “Ivy” was inspired by “Under Control” by The Strokes

[@cb906]

Wow I never knew that!

[@ringer1324]

Didn’t expect this reaction since you are the frontman of The Strokes I assumed your dad would already have heard it. but this was a nice surprise. I’ve been planning this joke since this video was announced didn’t know you’d mention it in the intro.

[@haywoodjblome4768]

It's not actually his dad, it's Jordan Peterson
