The New Abnormal is the long awaited new album from The Strokes, and the band's first album in seven years. The album was announced with the first track and video, "At The Door." The New Abnormal is The Strokes' sixth studio album and was recorded at Shangri-La Studios in Malibu, California, with producer Rick Rubin. The album's cover artwork is a painting called 'Bird on Money,' by famed artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. The Strokes are singer Julian Casablancas, guitarists Nick Valensi and Albert Hammond Jr, bassist Nikolai Fraiture and drummer Fabrizio Moretti. Review: Where to start ?. When you make the most brilliant and 'Perfect' debut album, as these guys did, surely the only way is down ?. I've liked all the Strokes albums since 'Is this it', they've all been at least good, but obviously always in the shadow of their timeless debut. The New Abnormal is the sound of a rejuvenated band doing what they want and continuing to head into new directions with their sound. Julian Casablancas, really pushes himself into new territory here with some outstanding vocals, flipping from his trademark New York style drawl to a falsettos and back. The epic synth sounds that sound like they're belong on a motion picture soundtrack. Everything just sounds incredible on this album and grabs your attention immediately. You can dance, tap your feet and wallow here. There's a song for every mood across these 9 songs taking you a rollercoaster of styles. The slower tracks that didn't grab me so much at first are now actually my favourite songs on the album. The album closers - 'Not the same anymore' and 'Ode to the mets' are powerful, haunting and epic slowburn tracks that linger with you long after. I'm floored by this album, and just how any band after 20 years can still be this good and still evolving !. This is my favourite album by the Strokes, yes , even above 'Is this it'. Stunning Review: A bit of an abnormality for the Strokes but after a listening on vinyl i have a new respect for the Strokes of today.. recommended!

Un groupe incontournable – souvent qualifié de plus grand groupe de rock actuel – livre ici son meilleur album à ce jour, marquant une nouvelle étape dans une évolution continue et impressionnante. Ce disque témoigne d'une maîtrise artistique de plus en plus affinée, et c'est sans doute l’album le plus abouti du groupe. La manière dont le chanteur déploie sa voix avec une décontraction impressionnante, sans jamais forcer, s'harmonise parfaitement avec des mélodies méticuleusement travaillées. Chaque note semble coulée dans le marbre, et la justesse de l’interprétation frôle l'excellence. Les arrangements sont d'une sophistication rare, loin des conventions. On y trouve des solos de guitare et de synthétiseur qui, loin de se contenter des schémas classiques de la gamme pentatonique, proposent des explorations originales et captivantes. Le groupe prouve qu’il sait constamment repousser les limites de son genre, offrant une richesse sonore qui récompense l’écoute attentive. De plus, la qualité sonore du vinyle ne déçoit pas. D’une clarté cristalline, chaque instrument prend sa place dans un équilibre parfait, dévoilant toute la profondeur du travail de production. Un véritable régal pour les oreilles.
