That ending to Games is actually a sort of easter egg for longtime fans, since it was from an untitled song from the pre-Is This It days.
JC: I think we’re going to start working on stuff as soon as possible. We were supposed to already, but it took longer than expected to master the album. I didn’t want to work on Strokes No 5 until Strokes No 4 was done.
NF: Personally, I don’t ever want to stop making new albums. If we take another break, and I really hope we don’t, it won’t be something in my control.
NV: There’s material in the works. We have a lot of music stockpiled so, in terms of content, we’re in a good place right now. If I had it my way, we’d have another album out by the end of this year.
I don’t have an Albert quote to share but he’s been pretty positive about the whole thing (and going forward) as well.
I mean, I agree with plenty of points made, but not a lot of the assumptions about apathy and insinuations that they should go their separate ways…at least not based on reading more than just the negative.
Not only has it leaked, but the official site is streaming it as of earlier today.
Yeah, they were pretty lukewarm in terms of reception. I mean, I really enjoyed some of their solo work, but like everyone else we know they were just having fun out there. Not really innovative or masterpiece material, but also not like some of the ambitious “misses” that some artists have with their side projects.
To be fair Jon Brion’s input is a huge reason for some of the sound differences here. The article even references that point. Personally I would have preferred Kevin to stick to doing things himself but, oh well.
