I agree Anthony, Margaret Thatchers stroke certainly was S tier
honk
Did Margaret thatcher have girl power
HONKKKKKKKK
@@gerryendersen4718 Yass, of cœrss
Probably only stroke I'd rank higher than Stalin's
I don't think anything in my life can replicate the shock of Anthony putting the new abnormal in B after talking about how great it is for like a minute and a half. C'mon man, it deserved an A.
Yeah probs one of my most played (new) album last year, love it
I thought the album was really good but it feels a lil stiff for the strokes and i dont find myself listening to it that often. That being said the lyrics are great and i think if they go more experimental in their new album itll be a bangar
Kinda like how he gave daft punks ram an 8 after complementing it so goddamn much
S
I can’t agree more so upsetting
New Abnormal is easily an A tier album
Yes
I love it
Agreed
o yes
First impressions of earth is a A tier too
call it fate, call it karma is mad underrated
Great song, listening to it right now
That song completely saves the album for me
Welcome to Japan is also a banger
Does anyone else like 80s Comedown Machine? I love the vibe of it
Dude ik! Sad most people don't like it
You're right, melon. I do defend the shit out of Comedown Machine.
Ha ha, glad to hear it 👏🏼 I’ve loved songs on this album so much, more than many other tracks from previous albums
Comedown Machine > Is This It don't @ me
Tap Out and Call It Fate, Call It Karma are two of their best songs. Such an unbelievably underrated record, Melon and all the other CM haters will never know the true joy of that album
The album is pure sex at its good points mmmm
Same
It kinda feels like Room on Fire slowly earned the credit it deserved all along, reminds me of Pinkerton in that way
Except Pinkerton went from hated to beloved tho (at least critically)
@@malwre_android1617 Every song on Pinkerton is fantastic
blue album is better than pinkerton in every way
@@malwre_android1617 exactly, definitely a little different situation. It’s funny though, both Strokes and Weezer I have a tough time picking my fav album. I love the first two albums almost equally for both
@@mackielunkey2205 and I wholeheartedly agree. Doesn't change the fact that the general reception for the album when it came out was pretty negative
The new abnormal is easily A tier, in my head it's S tier there are so Manny good melodies I could listen to that whole album every day and still not tired of it
Comedown Machine has a lot of good songs on it, and I will die on this hill
Happy ending slaps so hard
@@pegatrisedmice fr man that song made me fall in love with ze strokes
@@herbaltonicari7593same actually
@@pegatrisedmice happy ending, slow animals, welcome to Japan, and call if fate call it karma are the best but they're all good
@@pegatrisedmice that's my favorite on the Album!! Good call!
i’m gonna pretend you didn’t put first impressions of earth at D 🥸
There’s good songs but mostly pretty uninspired imo. This shit is all subjective though
Keep pretending, we'll be listening to their good albums
Yeah that's just egregious. There is nothing wrong with the guitar sounds, and they are NOT even that different from the first 2 LPs. just recorded better. The album does have filler but it's also got Razorblade, Ize of the World, and RED LIGHT. Ducking Red Light!
@@SteveVedder122 exactly. he lost his edge after he started to interview musicians, can't take his opinion seriously anymore
@MFTMSS I never take anyone's opinion seriously because opinions aren't a serious matter
Man Angles is so slept on, so many bangers and so good for a re-listen imo...
I'm with you
Machu Picchu is an all timer period, absolutely slaps that bassline is one of the greatest
i love the sound incomparable to basically anything else by them tbh
@@ryanmonty2814 legit one of my fave songs, Taken for a Fool as well
@@rxxtxr Yeah 100%, I feel its aged so well
I’m 43. I’m only discovering The Strokes now. For me, The New Abnormal is S tier. Best album I’ve heard in years. The lyrics of Ode to the Mets and At the Door really hit me. Feels like getting old and wakening to that reality. Amazing album.
I agree, The New Abnormal is such a phenomenal album.
Those songs are great but the whole album isn't as good as those songs and a handful of others.
Their first records they are basically solid bricks of gold with no weak points at all.
COMEDOWN MACHINE IS AN UNDERRATED MASTERPIECE. I’m one of the dudes who defends it to the death. I love the strokes so much.
W
Say it louder for the melons in the back.
Faxx
FACTSSSS!!!!!
LOUDER Louder they can’t hear you
Why would you rank my grandfather’s 2007 hemmorhagic stroke S tier!?
i was 3 lol
I agree, your grandfathers stroke was good but honestly i liked his old strokes a lot better
@@Flip-a-dip-dip feeling light to decent 4/10 on this one
@@Flip-a-dip-dip Yeah, although the 2007 stroke was great he ruined it by actually dying that time around, giving it a worse ending than usual
God fucking damn it
nooo how have u found out abt them 🥺🥺 ugh i hate when my fav band gets popular 😒😒
Are people actually doing this
Bruh I was unironically like this comment when I was 14.
bro the strokes literally won a bunch of awards they’ve been popular
As if they weren't an industry plant in the first place.
I don’t know if you know about these underground rappers Drake and Cardi B they’re really good they might break out into the mainstream soon. Ugh I hate it when my favorite artists do that cause they just get flooded with “fans” who don’t even own all their albums on vinyl smh my head do you even know them? Same applies to my favorite indie rock band Imagine Dragons. People claim to like them but can’t even sing all their songs by memory.
"the voidz is a little weirder" is one of the biggest understatements of all time lmao
He said a lot weirder.
I think the hoods are ahead of their time. Mega underrated.
I love comedown machine actually :(
Call it fate call it karma
Tap out
Wellcome to japan
Slow animals
Chances
Really enjoyable to me
Tap Out is ART.
80s Comedown Machine? :(
Chances is a Top 10 Strokes song. Easily.
THESE ARE ALL AMAZING SONGS
I actually agree a lot with this tier list (except for frist impressions of Earth, too low imo)
Aaand the new abnormal is to me an A
100%
FIOE has an absolutely flawless first half and an abysmal second half with the exception of Ize of the World. It's a shame the record is so bloated, with three or four songs less it'd be up there with the best of them.
@@santiagobauza4257 I absolutely agree if it wasn’t so bloated it would be a very tight release
@@santiagobauza4257 red light is pretty good aswell
A for (A)bnormal
I still believe Tap Out is one of the best album openers. Absolute understated banger along with the rest of Comedown Machine.
Strokes megafan here. I agree. Comedow Machine is fantastic. Love all of Julian’s falsetto, the melodies, and the experimental stuff. Call it Fate, Call it Karma and Chances are melancholy and beautiful, All The Time and One Way Trigger are fantastic rock songs. Comedown machine definitely beats out first impressions in my mind.
@@sir2gooo Finally found someone who mentions the song Chances. Way too underrated of a track. And Call it Fate Call it Karma is a masterpiece and imo one of the best songs from The Strokes.
Slow animals might be one of the best strokes songs, tbh
@@jonathansmith4354 that's a fact
comedown is definitely S tier i dont know why he put it this low
I’ll never understand how people don’t love first impressions
first impressions is everything
Its good, all of their albums are good
It was the first Strokes record I ever heard, so I guess you could say
it made a good First Impression
The first few songs are real good but then it drops off hard. Most of the album really sucks
I am of the strange breed that happens to adore the second half of this album.
Glad melon had time after rugby practice to make this
LMAO IM CRYING MY AUSSIE MELON
I will not tolerate slander of Angles or Comedown Machine
trash tier
first impressions > both angles and comedown machine sorry
Angles slander I'm OK with because of the 10 songs on the record only 4 or 5 are good. But First impressions slander I will not tolerate. That's a solid B tier
@@adamm1962 Terrible take
I love Angles, my favourite front to back.
Very fitting that you had a stroke in the middle of the video Anthony
Heh
So that's why he put First Impressions at D
fantano needs to make a vintage rugby jersey tier list, he seems to own a few
I don’t think The Strokes have ever made anything below A tier...
You’re right and you should say it louder for the gatekeepers in the back.
Come down machine. I've seen tons of comments here defending it, but without doubt is the lowest point of The Strokes. Apart from that, every single album is pure energy
@@armilacho5616 comedown isn't supposed to have high energy. It's supposed to be chill
@@armilacho5616 I dont know how you can listen to Tap Out and not feel elated. Like its 100% Strokes and 100% good clean fun.
Agreed.
Was really hoping it was gonna be a shit post where “Is This It?” was their only record
Haha and he talks about it for 14 minutes and then at the end says there are no more records and it’s dank
This would’ve been fucking hilarious
anthony needs to do a green day tier list, so many highs and lows maybe the f tier slot will actualy get used
Oh it definitely will.
Didn’t he do one? Or is that just me (if he didn’t do that one I would love that since green day is my favourite band)
The F is for father of all...
Would love to see it but I don’t think he likes Green Day very much at all. I think he likes Dookie but even dislikes stuff like American Idior. I think
@@manualex16 nah, easy S tier mate
Is This It and Room On Fire are masterpieces
I don't disagree but it took hearing First Impressions to make me admit it because ...of Earth was the first I looked at as a full album. I'm not angry with Fanthony, but I was really ready to admit we have respective taste to see him react like that.
room on fire is a bit overrated imo
New abnormal is my favorite album by them! Ode to the Mets is unlike any of their other songs and is truly just an emotional masterpiece
just dropping by to make sure comedown machine gets s tier
no
Oh no
F (I love this album too tho)
yes
I only like that album more than I should because I was in HS when it came out
I'm so confused as to why Melon would be wearing the Australian rugby team's merch lmao
kinda fire tho
He buys these replica rugby team shirts from Rowing Blazers.
Lol yeah I noticed that too. So damn random
He's worn it before and someone always brings it up. It's just so unusual to have an American wearing Aussie colours. Not that I'm complaining glad he roots for the good team.
sports are for nerds and boomers
The New Abnormal got me through the first few months of lockdown, it’ll always have a special place in my heart
When Anthony discusses something I've never heard of before:
"That's a very responsible and well thought out opinion"
When Anthony discusses something I'm a fan of:
"NO COMEDOWN MACHINE IS NOT AN E"
I'm forever mad that Angles is so underrated
Yup, its a different sound BUT they nailed it so good. They had the charisma, the singing, the song writing. Its everything people loved about The Strokes just in a different way.
@@alejandroserrano7755 exactly. It's my second favorite Strokes album because of that
@Luke its definitely one of my favorite the strokes albums
@Luke It has less weak points. First impressions of earth is way too long. I agree with anthony that First impressions is too heavy, and i get tired of listening to it after a while. Also Julián's vocals are bad for me. He sings like he was drunk.
@Luke the song On the other side has the worst vocals.
While Albert Hammond is very respectable guitarist, Nick Valenti does all the cool Eliot Easton inspired guitar work that The Strokes gets credit for.
Hell Yeah
Tyranny is a 9 for me at this point. Such a phenomenal and rewarding record.
First impressions underrated
Whaaat?!? Comedown machine was the first album I tried by the strokes and I loooove it! Of course it gets an E ranking!
Screw this party,
I’m going to go bump “welcome to Japan”
Amazing song
Enjoy, i do like that album it deserves at least B
I love comedown machine, personally. Not a huge strokes fan, but I think it’s a really good album overall
@Astro Jenkins bro has never heard of subjectivity before
That first Voidz record was amazing. It just oozes style and creativity and raw emotion. The guitar work is supremely underrated too as the first solo on Human Sadness and the solo on Dare i Care make me feel things that i didnt know a guitar could make me feel
The song You Only Live Once alone puts First Impressions of Earth AT THE VERY LEAST A tier
Also ize of the world I swear that’s a top 3 strokes song
1 song cant account for the record being shit
This is a list about albums not singles
@@cardeer2852 *cough* Vision of Division *cough*
Don’t forget heart in a cage
Pretty cool, I still haven´t forgiven you about comedown machine and eternal summer though
@Luke I CANT BELIEVE IT, THIS IS THE ELEVENTH HOUR
@@cheekybananaboy3361 PSYCHEDELIC, LIFE IS SUCH A FUNNY JOURNEY
Eternal Summer is easily a top 3 on an insanely good release
@@lasseheller9863 YOU CAN LEAVE YOUR SERVICE IS NO LONGER NEEDED
cool list, always glad to see these especially when I haven’t heard every single album from an artist I enjoy a lot!
First impressions of earth is a great album.. Electricityscape, red light, YOLO, evening sun, razorblade, juicebox , heart in a cage & vision of division... are you kidding me this is nothing but a GREAT freakin album!!!
Everything below Room On Fire and Is This It should be moved up a tier
The only correct answer
I would move up FIOE 2 tiers and then maybe, also might move up Comedown machine 2 tiers as well
DaBaby tier list when?
LESSSGOOOOOO (Da baby ad lib by the way)
@@In.New.York.I.Milly.Rock. come sit on it and say yay
If everything's not s tier melons gonna get turned into a convertible
The New Abnormal is one of those albums that I forget how much I like until I listen to it, then I forget how much I like it again.
I think most people would probably disagree with me, just because they can but regardless of what the band, critics or some fans feel about angles in particular. I got to get this off my chest. Ironically, Angles is this generation's Parallel Lines but without the huge impact. It's truly a classic new wave project....I still don't understand why it's not received as a classic, maybe new wave is an acquired taste but I love how they wear their influences on their sleeves/pay homage but at the same time...don't get it fucked up. This is not just a copy and paste kinda of album or a tribute album... they still came with unique songs that push the genre of new wave forward and gave it an update the way the strokes can only do it. Macchu Piccu, Games, You're So Right, Call Me Back, Taken For A Fool and Metabolism showcase that well. Even if this album isn't your taste, objectively the songwriting is still pretty strong. The only weak thing you can say about this album is that the mixing and mastering can be messy/sloppy at times but who wants the strokes to sound all clean and pristine...not me and I hope you wouldn't want that either. This is at least a 8/10 to a 10/10 album easily it'll never not be an excellent exercise in new wave/power pop music especially in the past two decades. How is this not a great album? I don't understand all the mixed and negative reviews. Also what's a legit new wave/power pop album in the past 20 years that is better or you might deem a classic? Please leave some recommendations below....I ask this assuming that you like this type of music but don't think Angels is executed well or a great/classic project from top to bottom?
Dorked out last time I revisited Angles and made a “Cut-the-Fat” version, try it out.
1. Macchu Picchu
2. Two Kinds of Happiness
3. Games
4. You’re So Right
5. Taken for a Fool
6. Call Me Back
7. Gratisfaction
8. Life is Simple in the Moonlight
Tracks are moved around a little but I think it really flows. Finally realized that “Under Cover of Darkness” does more harm than good. It will always feel like the “guess who’s baaack” Strokes song. Julian is weirdly strained on it, and it just reeks of the famously tense conditions of the album’s recording sessions. Take it away (along with the well-intentioned but clunky “Metabolism”) and you have a surprisingly lighthearted, quirky and colorful new wave record. And “Taken For a Fool” is absolutely one of the band’s best songs.
I love comedown machine so much!!! Taken for a fool and welcome to Japan will always be bangers in my book.
So weird that my first strokes album is Comedown Machine. That may be the only reason I love it just as much as any of their other albums.
We need a Nine Inch Nails tier list!
YES
This
I wonder what Fantano thinks of NIN’s 2000s work (With Teeth, Year Zero, The Slip).
@@thegroove14 I know he said in the Hesitation Marks review he said he thought The Slip was fantastic :)
Dude, yes.
Comedown Machine is a great great record, with killer songs and great performances start to finish.
@Astro Jenkins well, that may have been your experience, but otherwise, that would appear to be somewhat of a gross generalization, but thanks for playing.
comedown machine is s tier for me I adore that album. it felt like they were experimenting and just having fun with it, making like a sad neon dreamscape, with the core strokes sounds still there but faded and softer. love all their albums but something in that album always touched me and I'll always defend it ~
Anthony the way you described the “is this it” (butt cover) was incredibly gross. Worst of all there was no need to talk about it for 14 minutes and 29 seconds.
Anthony, this comment will surely be drowned out. But, I want to say it would make me so excited if you could consider making a Pavement tier list! Would love to hear what you think of Pavement, and to see a ranking of their stuff.
Sidewalk s tier
That would be nice. But I can't remember him ever even mentioning Pavement. I don't think they're one of Fantano's touchstones.
Asphalt is definitely a solid B tier. If it didn’t crack in cold temperatures it would definitely be s but as it it’s it’s still very good at what it does.
Anthony said they’re overrated.
I’d also love a tier list for Vampire Weekend.
Comedown Machine was the album that came out the year I graduated highschool and it helped me through some hard times. It might be a nostalgia thing but I still to this day listen to Comedown Machine often and I love the tracks on that record so much.
I don’t get it. Honestly fuck you there were really good songs on conedown machine. I enjoy it more than Angles by far. I think you were probably going through a rough patch in your life at the time Anthony and it got in the way of your appreciation for the songs on that album that kick ass. You also didn’t have much appreciation for “....like clockwork” by qotsa that came out the same year. It makes me sus about your ratings of other things from that particular time period because I can’t see anything wrong with either of those records
Same. I guess the argument to me is that “it’s not really a Strokes record” which is a really infantile way at looking at music. Each track should be examined on its own merits and if you do that the melody writing is super strong, production is great, maybe one or two weak tracks but over all doesn’t deserve E tier as an album golly
I still don't know why FIOE gets so hated, I loved the epicness and the heavy sounding guitars and drums, the Strokes on it's peak in my opinion
I agree, their first three are top tier for me
That's in my top three for them. It was so experimental for them. I love it. I'd say it's my third favorite/ second favorite depending on the day.
Yep
I would express my opinion on this list. but its Hard To Explain
You're So Right, but I guess that's just The Way It Is
So pleased that you put Room on Fire on par with Is This It. Incredible album and I completely agree. Weird to think that at the time there was a fair bit of disappointment from a lot of people when it first came out. Never understood that, it absolutely shreds
Room on Fire is my personal favorite, and I'm with you there. It deserves S tier 100%
My favorite strokes album.
Well, I guess it's cool to know I'm a more hardcore Strokes fan than Fantano
Personally I love Comedown machine alot, id say its in their top 3 (next to Is This It, and New Abnormal). Espically Call It Fate. It kind of reminds me of a Lemon Demon album that takes it self a bit more seriously. IDK, to me it seems a big portion of Strokes fans just want Is This It, and any album that departs from that is instantly met with hostility.
Was listening to Under The Cover of Darkness all morning, glad to see this pop up so i can find out more about them
don't sleep on the voidz tho!
Under cover of darkness was the first strokes song I heard! LISTEN TO MORE THEYRE SO GOOD
@@jakobscoll2432 I've heard The New Abnormal and some of the other big singles, really enjoying the band so far
@@mememan3799 good to see a new fan! Julian's other band the voidz is also good. But they're much more experimental. Tyranny was kind of hard to listen to imo but virtues was good. Human sadness is also one of the coolest songs ever imo.
A blur tier list or worst to best would be nice
Who tf is blur?
@@defoperator7993 some random band that’s better than oasis
@@cgo5161 lol only the Beatles
I don’t understand how someone could hate Comedown Machine
I like the tier list series and I know it’s an easier way to do what is effectively the worst to best series, but I gotta say I miss the worst to best series. It was just always such a journey and I loved the anticipation as anthony made his way to the best stuff.
Why the hell is he wearing an Australian Wallabies shirt?
Very cool video anthony, can you make a The Epilepsy Tier List next?
I totally agree on the Room On Fire tiering. It's one of only 4 albums (of any genre or artist), that I like every song on (that I've listened to thus far in my life).
comedown machine is an underrated masterpiece though
Tier list ideas:
Arcade Fire
Blur
Deftones
Kate Bush
Nine Inch Nails
PJ Harvey
The Smiths
Tom Waits
Would love a blur tier list tbh
arcade fire tier list is a must
I second arcade fire.
@Ivory_ Lagiacrus_YT TBH, only 3 of their albums are S tier imo.
He should do a Nav tier list for April Fool's
HELL YES MY FAVORITE BAND
LOVE THESE. Would love to see a Floyd tear list or some more classic rock tear lists
Where’s the “future present past” EP at tho??
Never clicked faster
Me neither. Hopefully it doesn't end up like the song ranking.
You're on your phone liar
It's funny how every Strokes album artwork is also an indication of how good their album is.
Thats extremely subjective
@@OliverPascoe no
@@OliverPascoe I had no idea art and music were subjective
@@allismg5691 No. It's ass with a glove.
@@allismg5691 is this it both covers are 👌
Seeing as "The Strokes" are genuinely one of my favorite bands, and the biggest reason for my love of music, I can appreciate every album. That being said I can also definitely see your point of view. Like me personally I absolutely adore Angles and Comedown Machine. Besides "All The Time" I like every song, with One Way Trigger, Partners In Crime, and Happy Ending being 3 of my all time favorite Strokes songs! But I mean we'd probably have "First Impressions" at the same spot. Half of them I think are great, half I think are the worst songs they've ever made haha. Anyways loved seeing ya talk about one of my favorites!
Anthony, putting my dad’s stroke attack at F tier was very unnecessary.
Loving this strokes content tbh
First time I heard Comedown Machine I thought it was fairly forgettable but it's actually the album that I end up coming back to the most. I know it's weird in a lot of places but the mood across the record hits hard for me and I personally love the electronic/synth elements. Crazy enough I guess it's my favorite album and Call It Fate, Call It Karma is easily top 5 of their songs.
Day 4 of asking Anthony to review LMFAO - Party Rock and Sorry for Party Rocking
Ok, hear me out, The New Abnormal is the best Strokes album, it just hasn't aged enough yet to be considered a classic like Is This It (I consider both S tiers btw, but I think TNA is better). I think TNA has the same mood and energy from ITI, which is already impressive, but it builds so much more on top of it, with great song structures, almost always having a triumphant finale, MULTIPLE great melodies in EACH song, perfect track order (the Ode To The Mets finish is probably the best ending track a album could have), etc... And it shows the band going in a great direction moving forward, they're actually enjoying making music again, and it really shows.
Comedown Machine is my favourite strokes album and I had no idea that it was considered this bad.
Comedown Machine is the most underrated album of the 2010s. Tap Out is one of the Strokes best songs
their first and second album legit feel like a pt 1 & 2. I mix up the track lists so much between them so much because of how good each one ended up being
S: new abnormal
A: angles
B: first impressions
C: room on fire
D: is this it
E: comedown machine
no @
S Tier: Is This It, Room on Fire
A Tier: The New Abnormal
B Tier: First Impressions of Earth
C Tier: Angles
E Tier: Comedown Machine
In the past year, my opinion has changed. My taste in music is slightly different, and I saw The Strokes in Barcelona! Anyway, Comedown Machine moved up to B Tier for me.
this but comedown and first impressions swap places
Yes
Angles and first impressions should swap
My list exactly.
Angles is so good
i find myself coming back to comedown machine more than any other album that the strokes have made. i don’t know about the people being upset with people who don’t like it bc if you don’t like it you don’t like it, but idk there’s something about it that i love 🤷🏼♂️
Good stuff melon, didn't expect this one to come out! I would put ITI and TNA at S tier, ROF at A tier, Angles and CM at B tier, then FIoE at C tier. I've been a Strokes fan for like 7 years now, really excited for what's next, especially with TNA being so good.
Also I would put The Voidz' Virtue at A tier. I didn't really like their debut and I don't know where to put that one exactly.
Hey Anthony! Would love to see a New Order tier list! I know you love the band but haven't seen you talk about them too much.
Would love to see one for Radiohead!!!
he already did one
He made a worst to best, which is >>>> than a tier list
Alright Anthony, I think we need a Franz Ferdinand tier list next!
World War 1 is S-Tier
Great video, I love you melon. I'd love to see a St. Vincent tier list k thnx bye
I've been waiting for this one!! Turn it up!!
Phrazes for the Young is an absolute classic.
Angles and New Abnormal deserved A tier at least (chuck Instant Crush with Julian in S tier as well screw it)
Julian and the gang forever desperate to see them live one day
I agree
Julian drinks a lot and messes up a bit, saw them a few months before the pandemic hit and you could tell my man was wasted. Still a solid 8/10 show for the I guess now old fans.
Me and first impressions are the same age and i absolutely love it. I can definitely see what you were saying and it does feel a lil drawn out but when razorblade comes on I am GOING to sing along.
I’ve played Is This It front to back on drums. Fun and simple. One of my all time favorite albums
Is This It classic review when
I'm gonna need a Pink Floyd tier list. I NEED IT!!!!!!👀 👀
Thank you for not putting Room on Fire in the shadow of Is This It : it's just as perfect as the first. My favourite Strokes album
“Room on Fire is just a fire freaking record”
I felt that, Melon
We need a Depeche mode tier list, it would be glorious.
