By the sound of their other demos, this one sounds like when the band finally put it all together and from that point started to really be the strokes from the "is this it" and "Room on Fire" era. This is one of their best songs

[@elpresidenty]

+1 to that assessment. Tho this didn’t make the album it really feels like the first track that makes the leap from demo band with promise to burgeoning rock legend.

[@v4Kyle]

1- this is clearly the strokes. 2- NYC cops n when it started are different songs completely...Nyc cops was on the album released in England w the cover of the models ass n glove but in the American version when it started takes nyc cops spot and they changed the album cover to the blue geometric one.

[@thevidguy11]

The blue one is a diagram of the Big Bang. Pretty cool

[@Opomax]

+Kyle Ligamari The album cover was banned in the US, also they took NYC cops off the album because it was released in 2001 just after 9/11... Wasn't the best time to release an album putting down police that just had to deal with some severe shit going down. Was quite nice of them to take it off the album actually.

[@v4Kyle]

+Opomax I know that's why they took it off and only The Strokes would be able to replace a gem like NYC Cops w another gem in When it started

[@leavingitblank9363]

The UK cover wasn't banned in the US. It was Julian's decision to change the cover. He found this image of spiraling trajectories of subatomic particle collisions (not the Big Bang -- would love to see a photo of that, ha) and decided to make the change. At least that's his story.

[@Opomax]

LeavingIt Blank there's a lot of information suggesting that it was banned, I prefer the US cover anyway, that's the vinyl version I bought purposely over the original cover. It doesn't have When It Started on it though. Perhaps I'm wrong and the information floating about is wrong, I'd like to believe Julian as I love him but got to remember he's not a god so until I see some better evidence I'm going to stick to my original view, if you can provide me some I may reconsider, but knowing my strokes love I'll do it myself. Thanks for the info mate, PS the new EP is AMAZING, going to buy on vinyl ASAP.

Kevin Fallas Ureña Eso si, su música es grandiosa.

[@Freezigan]

Me parece que eso les da un transfondo bastante profundo en cuanto a sus letras/composición porque tuvieron acceso a una mejor educación que bandas como Nirvana (Kurt Cobain no logró completar ni la secundaria), porque al fin y al cabo terminan siendo 5 tipos jóvenes, como cualquier otro, con ganas de hacer música; pienso que por esa razón ellos tiene ese toque de caballeros que esa clase alta les otorgó. Se puede ver como una apropiación cultural claro está, pero el rock n' roll está basado en eso: antes era música exclusivamente de negros hasta que Elvis lo comercializó para su propio beneficio pero eso nos trajo a grandes bandas entonces uno no sabría decir qué está bien y qué está mal y cuál lucha es válida y cuál no jaja

This will sound like a stretch, but I think it's because of Juliet, like he became more "careful" after he met her, like his music became more polished and less carefree, because he changed from this misunderstood young man to this married guy who found love, you know. His life changed, and so did his music...It's only because he really means what he write. That's why "One Way Trigger" is about settling down while "Last Nite" was about nobody understanding...
