“Call Me Back” is closer with better risk: terse-chiming guitars in a psychedelic suspense of indecision and no drums. The song "Machu Picchu" appears on the soundtrack for EA Sports video game, FIFA 12. “I’m putting your patience to the test,” Casablancas sings in the first song here, “Machu Picchu.” No shit. (Listen to them all in the Spotify playlist below.) The second single, "Taken for a Fool", was released on July 1, 2011. With its sudden-U-turn songwriting and curt execution, Angles is the best album that Casablancas, guitarists Nick Valensi and Albert Hammond Jr., bassist Nikolai Fraiture and drummer Fabrizio Moretti have made since 2001’s Is This It, the cannonball that inaugurated the modern-garage era. So in honor of Comedown Machine, their fifth album, Vulture ranked the 25 best Strokes songs of all time.

The Strokes invented their own rock. But by album three, the Strokes's caffeinated puppy brio was gone, hostage to hedonism and infighting.

Surveying the four-album career of the Strokes – the New York band who mob-handedly saved rock music a decade ago – it seems an open-and-shut case. In “Two Kinds of Happiness,” a motor-pop groove that recalls the smooth futurist lure of the Cars goes to exciting pieces: Casablancas’ dry, ragged howl hanging over a tense, stuttering rhythm and a field of stabbing-dagger guitars. The last time we saw the Strokes in a music video they were dead. Both "You're So Right" and "Games" sound as though they would have fitted right in on Casablancas's Phrazes For the Young. All the parts, the songs, in a room, together. Click to listen to The Strokes’ “Under Cover of Darkness”. These stories and reports stating the album was written separately by the band from Casablancas however, were untrue. That's where we did the whole record.
[10], The album also reached 93 on the Top 100 Selling albums chart of 2011 in Australia.

A live version of the track, recorded during an April 1, 2011 concert at Madison Square Garden and featuring Elvis Costello, was made available as the single's accompanying B-side. The curveballs are good fun, too. [9] However, the band decided to experiment with various production techniques, including MIDI electronic samples.
[10] The band also utilised a number of guitar pedals, more so than previously, including the Maxon AD999 delay, the Electro‑Harmonix Memory Man, and various Green Rhino distortion pedals. "Two Kinds Of Happiness" finds the Cars and Blondie (the less-acknowledged Strokes influences, beyond Televison and the Velvet Underground) getting it on, while the two-guitar matrix of Nick Valensi and Albert Hammond Jr gives off crackling electricity.

The detail is …

But "Under Cover of Darkness" – a pastiche of the Strokes's old sound, delivered with wry amusement – proves that they just cannot continue as they were. [26] Amanda Petrusich of Entertainment Weekly gave the album a B-, describing it as "accordingly fractured and often inscrutable, but (with) returns to form. ... under-edited First Impressions Of Earth and 2011’s excruciatingly overworked Angles: mostly forgettable, but not … Angles took nearly two years to write and record, including one mostly scrapped set of sessions. No way. They shoot wide in “Games,” which has too much electronics, as if the track lost its way to Casablancas’ 2009 solo album.

They tighten the striving that was spread thin across First Impressions with proven martial jangle: Fraiture and Moretti’s stoic grip on the beat; robotic-Yardbirds crossfires of crispy-fuzz and brittle-treble guitars.
