First Impressions of Earth

The Strokes
Released 2006Alternative & Indie
Deep cutPicked by a lifelong record collector

A denser, more ambitious third album. Bold and varied. A divisive record. Released in 2006, it's a key entry in The Strokes's run.

On vinyl: Vinyl can be scarcer than the CD from this era, so it's worth looking for a recent repressing.
