Though I tend to keep a safe distance from the Strokes camp I actually like Hammond's album. No, he isn't the best vocalist but who gives a shit neither are Lou Reed, Mick Jagger, Iggy Pop or even the guy from Weezer but I'd take any of those folks over one of these polished Chemical Romance or Cold Play sort of jokers anyday. Afterall, rock 'n' roll is about personality & attitude isn't it? Something that has taken a backseat these last few years. If polished and perfection is what you want then go listen to some new pop band... there's plenty of them. End of story. As for sounding like the strokes, well don't you think that's a little unavoidable considering he is 1/5 of the band. Do you expect the guy to go out of his way to change his guitar sound and the way he writes to adhere to a few music twits with no life? Outer here... I somehow stumbled in here so here it is…

It makes me miss less the old Strokes, he's pretty much everything I loved of that band... This is better than the last Strokes album, they should listen more to Alb in the future…
