Album Notes & Community Reviews
Propelled by an intensely driving, repetitive bassline and aggressive, angular guitar interplay between Nick Valensi and Albert Hammond Jr. The track features one of Julian Casablancas's most impassioned and technically challenging vocal performances, culminating in a searing guitar solo. It proved that the band's sophomore effort, 'Room on Fire', could match the visceral excitement of their debut.
