Thanks must go to Paul (loo) for his choice of album this week. It's good to see someone suggesting a fairly recent album for us to sample.

Hello everybody, thanks for having me, my choice for your enjoyment is The Strokes fifth and latest album Comedown Machine.
A brief band history taken from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Strokes),
The Strokes are an American rock band formed in New York City in 1998, consisting of Julian Casablancas (lead vocals), Nick Valensi (guitar, backing vocals), Albert Hammond, Jr. (guitar, backing vocals), Nikolai Fraiture (bass guitar) and Fabrizio Moretti (drums, percussion).
Upon the release of their debut album Is This It in 2001, the group met wide critical acclaim. Since then, the band has maintained a fan base in New York City and elsewhere in the United States, the United Kingdom, Argentina, Ireland, Canada, France, Brazil and Australia. A number of members have embarked on a variety of side projects, though they regrouped for a fifth album, entitled Comedown Machine, released on March 26, 2013.
They are one of the many indie rock bands to hail from the US at the dawn of the 21st century and helped augment the garage rock revival movement. Their debut album, Is This It, was ranked number 199 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time and number 8 on Rolling Stone's 100 Best Debut Albums of All Time.
I choose this album as it is one of my favourite releases this year and is a testament to a band who have continued to improve in musicianship with each album they release. Some of the best falsetto singing on a pop album I have heard and some fantastic catchy riffs .
Hope you enjoy it
