Opening Theme by Matthew McClelland
-------------------------------
This is it. The Strokes delivered and The New Abnormal is the bandâs true return to form. With their decade-defining debut, The Strokes introduced the template for a new era of guitar-based music. They became the band that changed everything: âThe last great rock starsâ, âThe saviours of rock and rollâ -- you know the story. Is This It would be a tough act for anyone to follow -- much less for the band who crafted it. And despite never releasing a bad album since, each new record was constantly compared to that initial release and held to a level of expectation that just couldnât possibly be met.
Regardless of how youâve felt about everything after Is This It, The Strokes are back and better than ever, and in more ways than one. With some time spent apart pursuing side projects and the added aid of a legendary producer, The New Abnormal had the band rekindling the magic theyâd progressively lose after their debut. Letâs dive into The New Abnormal or: how The Strokes learned to stop worrying and love the band.
