The Strokes/YMMV


 * And the Fandom Rejoiced: One word, two numbers: March 22, 2011.
 * Base Breaker: Angles.
 * Crowning Music of Awesome: Is This It.
 * Even Angles' detractors found "Life is Simple in The Moonlight" to be one of their best songs in a while.
 * Which leads to a What Could Have Been, depending on how you feel about the album: "Life is Simple" was the only song to survive the band's recording sessions with Angles' original producer, who they felt was taking the album in the wrong direction.
 * Ear Worm: Almost all their music, but the worst offenders are "Last Nite", "You Only Live Once", "Someday", "Under Cover Of Darkness", and "Taken For A Fool".
 * Epic Riff: Last Night, among many others.
 * Face of the Band: Julian Casablancas.
 * First Installment Wins: "Is This It."
 * Magnum Opus: "Is This It".
 * Revival by Commercialization : Arguably with "Reptilia"'s inclusion in Rock Band 1, which was released during the band's hiatus.
 * Tear Jerker: Not particularly common in the band's output, but Angles gives us "Call Me Back" and "Life is Simple in The Moonlight".
 * Vindicated by History: Their sketchily-received third album, First Impressions of Earth.
