true
at least relative to popularity

I cannot imagine thinking the strokes, of all artists, having that type of praise for the new decade. V regressive position

I think the album is a nice blueprint for how rock can make a mainstream return
its not hugely innovative or anything but it hits the marks imo doesn't feel like its regressing back to is this it/room on fire to get praise

long past time for you to suck my d*** from the back p****

telling me to grow up but you made the thread about The Strokes having album of the decade so far

I would go for Sometimes I Might Be Introvert and I imagine it will have staying power for years to come. I still need to check The New Abnormal as I hear it's great but I was never the biggest Strokes fan

That new Turnstile album is amazing if you haven't peeped it yet

bet ill check it out

the best punk album i've heard in a very long time i hope you enjoy it

this is up there too. some s*** you can play for YEARS

what's your pick

Thank you OP for reminding me to give The New Abnormal a spin today

love this one too

folklore

such a good album

s/o @Impossible for putting me on

what is your pick and is it also WLR

AM LP7 so soon @Bow_And_Arrow

It wasn’t really a mainstream success outside of being by the strokes so idk. I think there’s a lot more interesting things being done by alt rnb and underground hip hop artists rn- as well as Fiona Apple / black midi to give some specific names

probably WLR or How I’m Feeling Now

Imma put all my chips in and bet Black Country, New Road's next album will be one of the best albums of the decade

i think the idea of naming an album of the decade so far is kinda silly

covid impacted so many major music releases (usually the only kind of releases that get considered for this kinda thing) that to call any album the best of the decade just doesn't feel right

we got a slow, impeded year with 2020 and 21 wasn't much better tbh

i don't doubt the new abnormal will be loved by strokes fans and seen as a template for 2020's rock resurgence in the coming years. i just don't think it's safe to call anything the best of a decade that's just becoming defined.

the only artist that comes remotely close is yves tumor and their 2020 album "heaven to a tortured mind". their music genuinely feels above and beyond what anyone else is doing. the strokes is cool, but yves tumor has a genuine edge that a lot of rock acts have been missing.

also yves is bigger than just rock. between their collabs, their influences, their sound, yves in my opinion is shaping up to be the artist who will define the limitless creativity of music in the digital age.

but it's too early to really tell. their latest ep is very promising. but i just think we're not far enough into the 20's to make these grand kinda claims.

7 years and it's been you and i always

Yves has never missed

never

their artistic progression is unparalleled and what they're trying to achieve in their music and live persona is leagues ahead of everyone else rn

i don't see them becoming bigger than peak blood orange urban outfitters hype tho sadly

but if there's any hope for the music industry, yves will get the flowers they deserve and other's will follow with love
