iTunes Review
Even though Julian Casblancas is the singer and main songwriter for the Strokes, he doesn’t pursue the Strokes sound or even emphasize his voice on this debut solo album. Instead, he jams himself into the mix and explores a different take on retro than his retro-garage band. “Out of the Blue” kicks things off with a heavily compressed wall of sound, the soothing ‘oohs’ of the chorus lost in a swirl of ‘60s-inspired guitars and keyboards. “Left & Right In the Dark” begins with a soothing roller-rink organ and processed vocals layered among the staccato guitar licks, sounding like slightly more edgy ‘70s MOR. “11th Dimension” sports happy synthesizers for an ‘80s dance party. “4 Chords of the Apocalypse” channels a ‘60s R&B ballad through the automaton sounds of the ‘80s. “Ludlow St.” throws in a country music lope amidst its cramped keyboard heavy arrangement. “River of Brakelights” ramps up the Gary Numan “Cars” influence as it swings out of control. “Glass” slows things for an electro ballad. “Tourist” closes things out with a swinging gait, some deep bass rumbles and Casablancas’ lazy-man vocals rolling right into the cascading keyboards.
Recent Customer Reviews
I may have just purchased my favorite album...of all time.
by Not a real CriticThis album is everything I have been looking for in music this year and succeeds in sound where other albums have faultered. Julian has incorporated so many sounds into this album but hasn't overdone himself and doesn't overwhelm the listener. "Tourist" and "Out of the Blue" are my two favorite songs off of this album right now but I can't say I dislike any others, which is often the case when you purchase an album. I'm glad I clicked the "Buy Album" button on this one.
I LOVE THE STROKES
by holas2olafI'm a big Strokes fan. I freaked out when npr covered one of his songs. I love the way he added sort of a pop twist into some of the songs. I hope he releases more albums like this.
Excellent.
by dpalucheCongrats, Jules! I've never bought an entire album before Phrazes for the Young! I think he definitely accomplished what he set out to do, and it sounds great at the same time. I'm extremely glad that "Phrazes for the Young" wasn't "just another album title". He certainly kept with the theme well. If you got the digital booklet, you know what I'm talking about.
