EDITORS’ NOTES
Few albums in modern pop history can match the instant, game-changing impact of Is This It. Almost overnight, rock ’n’ roll turned grittier, haircuts grew shaggier, and the secondhand-blazer section at your local thrift store got a lot more crowded. But most importantly, carefree kiss-offs like “Someday” and “Last Nite” refashioned the left-field sounds of previous generations—the streetwise swagger of The Velvet Underground and Iggy Pop, the wounded romanticism of The Smiths and early Cure—into immediate, dance-floor-ready pop music, portending indie rock’s insurgence into the mainstream.

This album...
Changed my life.
I could survive on only this album for the rest of my life if I needed to.
The Strokes are one of the most amazing bands out there, and it's good
to hear that they are all working together again.
If you don't buy this album, I will hunt you down until you do.
Absolutely Awe-Inspiring
The other generations can have whatever acts they call their own. This is the best CD of the decade, from the band that has defined the decade, and anybody who doesn't believe it is crazy. This is a masterpiece. Buy it all.
