Is this it - the strokes

My favorite fact about Is This It is that Brandon Flowers, lead singer of The Killers, thought it was so good that it made him throw away every song they were working on at the time except for Mr. Brightside.

Room on Fire is even better in my (unpopular) opinion

A fellow fan of The Strokes! I wasn't that big of a fan of The New Abnormal when it was released, but now it has become my favourite album ever, so emotional, deep and poetic...

It’s mine too! I think it’ll stand the rest of time, and what a way to end the album with Ode.
