Technically, I wouldn’t say Casablancas has revolutionized music with this album, even though there is some terrific baroque experimentation in certain areas (not that it matters). I got the same good feeling when I first heard Room On Fire. It somehow sounds familiar and new at the same time. In the words of Casablancas himself, it’s hard to explain. Needless to say, I’m very much enjoying this solo effort.
































I want to dislike this song more than I do, but in truth it’s enjoyable in a warm sleepy kind of way. What I can honestly say I dislike about Norah Jones is her whole contrived projection of herself. Her melting sultry looks at the camera, and her faux oh-so-adorable mannerisms… She just never seemed in the least bit genuine to me.
