Strokes, The: Room On Fire (Coloured Vinyl LP)

On The Strokes' second full-length release, Velvet Underground and Television references abound. But Boston new wavers the Cars, and in particular their hit-heavy second album, 1979's Candy-O, provide a more suitable point of reference for Room On Fire. Not much longer than a half hour from start to finish, this 11-song is modest in intent and execution, and succeeds quite nicely on its own terms.

The album features the return of producer Gordon Raphael from Is This It and consists of a slightly smoother sound than its predecessor.
