Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
I bought The Strokes' first album Is This It, since it is the best album ever, to my mind, and since i just couldt find it in any store here in Brazil. It was my first time on ebay, and everything went so clear and easy. I recommend it.
The item is great, i bought it few weeks ago though i have known Is This It from The Strokes for a long time. But I decided to offer it to my little sister (musical education duty) and she keeps on listening to it. I know you don't care at all about this but e-bay, for unknown reasons, wants me to write a comment about this item. So yes it is great.
Excellent value for money and condition

From the first track, which happens to be the title track, listeners know they're in for a treat. As the Britpop genre came to a close and Nirvana had ended there seemed to be a gap in the market, a space for something new. Who filled that space? The Strokes with the eclectic jaggedy guitar rifs, the bass solos, the perfect drumbeat all combined with Julian Casablancas' droning make them the perfect band. Although it seems like everyone is doing their own thing and unaware of the other band members it all fits together exactly. The Strokes brought something new to the music scene with their jacket, jeans tie and unkempt hair they were the new definition of cool and it was reflected unequivocally in their music. They completed invented a genre of music that gave birth to the new Indie bands such as Franz Ferdinand, The Editors, The Paddingtons, The Departure, The Killers and The Bravery and may they be thanked for it. Particular album highlights - 'Barely Legal' 'Modern Age' 'Hard to Explain' 'Last Nite' Buy this if you like The Smiths or The Ramones or any of the bands listed above.Read full review
