It wasn't bad. Then I heard the album. Fucking dreary shite. Would never have even considered going if I'd heard them before I saw them.

Let me put this to you: Why on earth do people go crazy for The Strokes? They are bland and uninventive and far from original.

Oh god, I have no argument with that at all
I heard all the hype about the Strokes before hearing the band and was vaguely intrigued. Fuck me, that was an anticlimax. Stunningly dreary crap.

I quite like The Strokes
But I'd never try to defend their music.
