Lmao Nick wasn’t having it when Julian was throwing shade at Angles.

[@Sangth123]

From what I've heard, the recording of Angles was during a pretty bad time for the band, so they don't look at it with much fondness.

[@oscarmontano4188]

Sangth This is true. I remember nick saying during an interview (don’t know which one...sorry.) that if the band ever went back to that style of recording, he would never make a next album...it was that bad.

[@punkeroc]

the album was good though.

[@robertosoares2643]

In Angles recording Sessions, the instruments were recorded individually, as well as Julian's voice, they were only assembled together in Studio afterwards. It marks the moment Julian isn't the sole composer, and artistic different views (as well as Julian's inability to share that spot and his will to keep pursuing a solo carrer with the Voidz - back then not called Voidz). So Julian's take on Angles seems to evoke the fracture period of their careers. But I wouldn't celebrate the new record announcement too soon, becausa Julian says these things and then nothing happens. I'll wait.

that "hey mr lightman" at 6:13 is a reference to Jim Morrison when The Doors performed The End at the Hollywood Bowl back in 1968. Jim wanted the lights turned down way low, so as a big Doors fan, hearing Julian say that made me grin from ear to ear like WHUUTT?!

[@jorose8138]

Thanks for explaining that. For ease of reference, if anybody's interested, here it is; The Doors, The End: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3aVlIl3at6carc I knew Julian was a big Doors fan thanks to his step-dad, Sam Adoquei. I think you can see Jim Morrision's influence on him, especially early Strokes.

I don't understand how I just started listening to The Strokes in 2021. I'd heard about them of course, and of Julian Casablancas. But I just never checked them out. I'm Julian's age and listened to bands that came out around the time in the late 90's/early 2000's like Interpol, Editors, Franz Ferdinand, The Hives, The Killers and even less known bands like Maximo Park and Hot Hot Heat. Listened to Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden before them, listened to The Arcade Fire, The National and Vampire Weekend after them. The Strokes would have been right in my wheelhouse, and they were huge! And now I find myself here today, 20 years late to the party!
