Room on Fire

Released 2003Alternative & Indie
Classic

A tight, confident follow-up that refined the debut's formula. Sharp and tuneful. A strong second record. Released in 2003, 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.
