This sounds nothing like The Strokes, the vocals aren't the typical punchy or melancholic delivery the Julian Casablancas usually has. The rhythm and lead guitar sections aren't as garage rock influenced and aggressive either. Everything just seems...softer and quieter. I can't say I like this song to much. That said, I can't take away from them for experimenting with their sound.
