Spin: "When they go for depth here -- which they do on a handful of slower, quieter cuts -- the route isn't bitterness, but a kind of pop-philosophical wonderment."

Entertainment Reviews:

Spin - p.74

"When they go for depth here -- which they do on a handful of slower, quieter cuts -- the route isn't bitterness, but a kind of pop-philosophical wonderment."

Entertainment Weekly - p.77

"[T]here are returns to form, especially 'Under Cover of Darkness,' a vintage party anthem for the Lower East Side set....For the first time, it actually feels like the guys are trying." -- Grade: B-

Uncut - p.79

4 stars out of 5 -- "[W]hen it comes down to heads-down garage grind, 'Metabolism' and 'You're So Right' show The Strokes remain masters of taut, nervy melody."
Billboard (p.40) - "It boasts fresh intricacies in the guitar interplay between Albert Hammond Jr. and Nick Valensi..."

Record Collector (magazine) - p.99

3 stars out of 5 -- "[W]hen it works, no one's better at that louche, three-chord melodic simplicity and vocal standoffishness, delivered with just the right amount of scuzz."
