I have never heard of a more critically overrated band in my LIFE. I kept hearing "the Strokes are like *insert good band here*" and "the Strokes are reviving *insert description of genre here*". Christ, I heard like three of their songs, and it sounds like a drugged-out Ben Stein "singing" alongside the most repetitive guitar riffs I have ever had the displeasure of encountering. It's not that their guitar is technically more repetitive than say, death metal (although it actually is in a lot of cases), but the way they play actually accentuates the repetitivity of it. In short, I disagree and want to stab the Strokes in their collective eye, but respect your opinion.
