U.S.A.Indie / Garage / New WaveThe extended hiatus of The Strokes has again produced another spin-off act in the form of lead singer Julian Casablancas finally going it solo. For anyone who's only heard the lead single "11th Dimension", your expectation of the album might be a little bit skewed.

The album begins with an eerie ten seconds which keeps the listener on edge, unsure of what is to come. Then, “Out of the Blue” explodes with a Strokes-like force that reassures you: all will be well.

I feel as if I have been waiting for this forever. The last Strokes album, First Impressions of Earth, came out in 2006, and came off as uneven and awkward, leaving me significantly less than satisfied. Not that I wanted them to keep being the garage rock revivalists of Is This It (2001), undoubtedly one of the most important albums of the 2000s, but the spark seemed to have been slowly slippin...
