I feel like Julian really put his heart out in this album. The whole band did. The ending of this song is so beautiful, he sings it with some sort of a heartbroken, but hopeful feeling.

This is definitely the best strokes album since Room on Fire, imo. It's just so consistently good.

Me too man, they’re my favorite band, and ytheyve kinda been a part of my whole life. Sadly though, I only got into them properly ~3 years ago, long after Comedown Machine and a short while after Future Present Past.

[@insert7493]

I like how he begins with life being a game, suffocates us in the history of OUR world, transitions to the drowning of human life, and ends with our accomplishment of space only to restart the 'game' of life for the next species to pick up (whomever or whatever may be.) Beautiful video. Sidenote; that outro is the saddest visual/audio clip I have ever witnessed. So happy in the moment of incredible loneliness. Much like the world around us in our darkest hour. The 11th.

The end of the world is your life and how it ends. Different times are coming. I've tested myself, living off the grid and outside in the woods.

this is, in my opinion, one of the greatest songs ever written and recorded. To think they wrote it some 10 or 15 years after their "heyday" and then proceeded to win awards for the album. It is just incredibly beautiful and creative and altogether moving.

[@Matt.Thompson.1976]

I'll admit, it is a good song.....but honestly I like 'Soma' more....or 'You only live Once'. To each their own, but I've always preferred catchy songs to emotional ones. I do agree about 'The new abnormal' though.

[@buenogoodlive]

Agreed. It has this timeless grandiosity that can only be captured once in a long, long time. It makes you feel sad yet optimistic and in awe of having experienced a perfectly flawed existence that you would not change. Great track.

[@buenogoodlive]

Ironically, I feel like Julian captured this feeling previously on "Human Sadness" by the Voidz. An equally great track.

[@james9564]

when you realize the stuff you used to imagine in your head when you were a kid and had that thought of "this could be a nice movie" but gave up thinking some adult probably have a better idea going on and when you realize you're the adult who gave up on your dreams then suddenly ode to the mets videoclip is the realistic version of literally all of your dreams and everything you had in mind that you didn't know how to put it out not even the feeling of it. thanks whoever is involved for knowing me better than i know myself.

Its going for "epic song" though so it will always wins in best song battles.

I personally think that this song, Selfless, and “Why are Sunday’s so depressing?”, are some of the best alternative rock songs I’ve ever heard in my life. That being said, Adults are talking and Brooklyn Bridge are also next level songs too! Incredible album as a whole, one of the best I’ve heard for the alternative rock genre in many years.

[@JoseSanchez-vv1zd]

[@JOSEPH-ck6st]

exactly what i thought mate, that whole album blew me away

[@plumnation]

I didn't like "Not the same anymore" when I first heard it, but now it's one of the only songs I play on its own. That and Sundays. I still love listening to the whole album but these songs stand out for me as singles.

[@starky4079]

Ode to the Mets is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. Hands down my new favorite Strokes song, I don’t think anything comes close ❤️

[@RandomRabbit007]

"Indie Rock" broseph

[@21palica]

Since "The New Abnormal" came out in April, I've probably listened to it 20-30 times. I think this is their most "complete" album so far. I can hear how they have grown musically, thou they still retained their signature sound (like in "Bad Decisions"). I love how they left in Julian's comments made during the recording ("Drums, please, Fab..." "False...break..." etc.). Rick Rubin's influence is clearly felt on this album, but in a sense that he gave the guys courage to experiment, like with "At the Door" (the song has no drums for the first 3 minutes or so, but has some of Julian's best singing ever, with an ominous keyboard hum throughout). Also, making it their first video from the album takes some balls, when they could have gone with much safer "Eternal Summer", which is such a great tune. So great in fact, that even the fade out ending sounds so good, it could have been a hit song all on it's own. For me, it's a mix of waiting so long for their new stuff, and that what they recorded seems to be exactly the music I needed to hear at this stage of my life, that makes this album so good. Also, I'm the same age as them, so I guess that too is one of the reasons the music sounds as if it was custom tailored for me. In case you missed it from reading my comment, I REALLY LOVE THIS ALBUM from start to finish! Now all I have to do is to wait for this pandemic to pass, and then hear them live...(maybe in 2021).

[@pyronixe]

Ur gay

[@pablovf]

It's like you've read my mind and said all of this before I could. The New Abnormal if my favorite album right now, even though I know the first two are better and feel much more nostalgic when I listen to them. I've listened to The New Abnormal so many times I'm sure that years from now when I play it again, I'll remember of 2020. It's basically the soundtrack for this year in my life.

[@ecowman5224]

I completely agree that it feels as if it was “tailor made”, I’m sure it’s the same for all the true fans but the timing of the album and the title makes me think that The Strokes truly have their fingers on the pulse of society or that Julian is simply a genius and the world needs to wake up and realise it. Phenomenal album

[@dioxidoymmschihuahua9310]

You cannot be describe that best

[@plumnation]

Ur 40? You write like a teenager. But I can agree with most of what you said.

[@MagicDragonScale]

I remember reading in an interview (2010) that Julian Casablancas wanted to write a song for the NY Mets; he eventually got to do it, and as they stated in "5guys talking about things they know nothing about ep. 2" at some point he wanted to name this song just Ode, but Moretti convinced him to keep the word Mets. Julian said he wrote it while waiting for a train after the Mets lost a match, and Morietti pointed out that it alludes to "something that you set your heart to, and that you love unconditionally but that continues to disappoint you".

[@ekopradja5974]

Thats pretty much describe the whole song
