It is my stern belief that they do kick ass. Every single one of their songs is very listenable, so far. I am utterly amazed. As a youngster, I forced myself to listen to "grunge metal" or whatever it is called, like KoRn and LimpBizkit and what not (I'm still young, but you know...) I eventually realized that listening to such music hurts my ears, because it is loud and noisy and disturbing to my ears. The Strokes, however, have kick-ass beats and a kick ass singer and everything, all with the added bonus of not splitting my ears. Yup. I was disappointed when I bought the Queens of the Stoneage album, because the only two songs on it that kicked ass were "Go With The Flow" and "No One Knows". The rest of the album is... noisy and not very cool. The Mars Volta is also listenable, but that's not the point.
So, do The Strokes kick major ass or what?
(hint, the results better be lop-sided in my favor
)
