    This is great for music. Hopefully they'll headline some festivals! (*cough*Coachella*cough*)

    Almost 20 years since Is This It? makes me feel older than I’ve ever felt.

    I mean yeah, let's round 17 years up to 20. Time is just a construct anyway

    Been listening to these guys a lot lately, and I think First Impressions juuuust edges out Is This It as my favorite record

    Very, very ready for them to return

    Comedown Machine is at least #2 for me behind Is This It which idk will ever be topped due to like nostalgia

    probably their most interesting record

    FIOE is my favorite because it's so different and more intricate than the rest of their discography, but you can't really go wrong with any of them other than Angles, imo

    Is This It and RoF are the top 2. Y’all can argue about the rest but those are the facts.

    New song sounds very promising btw.

    I love Room on Fire but it could be argued that it's Is This It part two. They sound very, very similar.

    I remember when it came out that people enjoyed it but also felt that it was just more of the same, so it was innately less interesting than evolving.

    Yeah my problem with Room on Fire is if I'm going for that brand of strokes I almost always reach for Is This It

    Plenty of phenomenal songs on it though

    For sure. But it’s still excellent. Not one record that came after it has as many great songs..”Whatever Happened?” “12:51” “Reptilia” “The End Has No End” “I Cant Win” “Meet Me in the Bathroom” and “Under Control”. And the songs I didn’t list are no slouches either.

    It’s pretty uniformly excellent. I would even listen to an argument that it’s better than Is This It? It’s not, but I would at least listen. Everything after those 2 records is sooo uneven.

    Absolutely, I still love it 100% and distinctly remember buying the CD in high school and constantly showing it to friends, haha

    comedown machien is great, but legitimately, first impressions is their best record.
