Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Comedown Machine' is a divisive yet sophisticated entry in The Strokes' discography, seeing the band experiment with 80s new wave and sleek synthpop textures. Julian Casablancas utilizes more falsetto while the band leans into cleaner, more intricate arrangements. Though famously released with minimal promotion, the album has gained a cult following for its mellow charm and eclectic songwriting.
