The Strokes

Man, this new album is just meh. Honestly, I might have actually enjoyed it if it were some other band, but with them...😢 they just aren't those old YYYs anymore. That signature noise and Karen's screaming—which, yeah, I know, but I actually loved that part.😢

Fever to tell and the ep were 😍😍

and I've been following YYYs since they first hit the scene😍

Man, same here. Thought I was the only one.😳

And this kid Zinner? A total rip-off of Kejv. Seriously.

Ugh, me too..!😬

P.S. It's actually pretty damn good, though. Dammit.😬

Both the debut and the follow-up were stellar
But this latest one... hm. It’s decent enough, I suppose, but it feels far too polished and restrained. YYYs are one of those bands that simply need to sound gritty and raw to be themselves.

🙂 I suppose we just share the same appetite for eye candy 😬

Man, that's great. Honestly, I thought I was the only one with this specific obsession. 😳

It’s nice that people are actually paying attention to them now, though it does take away from that feeling of them being some obscure, niche objects of desire. 😢

For instance, I find myself completely losing my grip over Cold Light 🙂 and Maps 🙂

I don't mean physically—I’m talking about the performance and the whole vibe, for goodness sake. Just to be clear, I meant that as a compliment.

I wasn't talking about physical looks—I meant their stage presence and vibe, for heaven's sake. Let's be clear, that was actually a compliment.

I didn't take it as you being literal about their physical appearance (I was just joking about how stunning WCIF is), because honestly, it’s hard to imagine anyone typing away at a keyboard being that oblivious. 😎 If I sounded too dead serious, my bad. Anyway, I don't want this to turn into some pointless off-topic argument, so I'm dropping it here. 😉

Sure can. And honestly, your beauty is off the charts—no doubt about it! 😁

We used to share the dabar Quote too. 😢 😬

Emily Hernandez28 said:It’s great when people actually start paying attention to them, I guess. But let's be real—they aren't some mysterious, untouchable objects of desire anymore. The mystery is gone. 😢

Wait, I just had another thought. 😉 😛

Emily Hernandez28 said:Honestly, Cold Light just completely unravels me. 🙂 Maps pin Quote

It’s honestly impossible to get through to someone like Nettlica. They're just completely stuck in their own head. 🤔 Give it a rest, Nettlica. They don't Love you like i Love you. 😉

ToxicAvenger said:Their EP was honestly killer; I was totally hooked when I first heard it. 😍
Then they dropped "Fever to tell," which is mostly solid, but I can't shake that overproduced vibe.

Man, "Fever to tell" is great. Maps pin 😍 😍

No Karen screaming? 🙂 🙂

Carol Jackson45 said:Man, "Fever to tell" is such a banger. Maps 😍 Pin 😍

Seriously, those are the two best tracks on Fever. 😍

A truly exceptional band. Very much so.

Walter Foster52 said:I believe we were sharing some information about the Beaver earlier. 😢 😬

Honestly, without the Beaver, we’re just incomplete—kind of like the Bermuda Triangle without all those terrifying legends to keep things interesting. 😬

Actually, another idea just crossed my mind. 😉 😛

😍 😛

It is honestly nearly impossible to talk any sense into a Nettlica user.

Get lost. 😁

Come on now, Nettlica—they certainly don't love you like a rose kit. 😉

Love you like a rose kit 😉

👍 😘

Everything on that first album is 🙂 It wouldn't be a bad idea to try and bring them to Chicago....Karen Flores34 is actually the ex-girlfriend of that guy from Liars....The Liars played in Chicago once.. I guess they had a decent time.. though I know I did....So if you want to ask those guys from Liars to say something good about Chicago... well, figure it out... everyone wins 🙂
If that doesn't work, there's always the chance that Tonchi Huljic digs through the archives, makes a new soap opera, and casts Karen Flores34 as Jelena Februarska... and maybe Duje can play Chika 😎

Emily Hernandez28 said:Look, without the Beaver, we’re just incomplete—kind of like the Bermuda Triangle without all those terrifying urban legends. 😬

🤣

Nettlica, you are giving me the absolute best compliments! kissy😘 kissy

I honestly don't get it; for me, the Google Maps pin is the absolute worst part of the album 🙂
total failure 😬
it's an interesting record overall
they really seem to have matured quite a bit on Show Your Bones...
Karen Flores34, oh please, if only I were a guy 😍

Karen Flores34, honestly though, she might not be a classic pageant queen, but she’s got this incredible, effortless magnetism—kind of like a rock star owning the stage at Madison Square Garden 😛 😲 😛

Batman said:Karen isn't exactly a supermodel, but she has more raw sex appeal than most pop stars out there.😛 😲 😛

Right, 🙄
especially when she's taking care of business on stage.
No thanks.

Her voice is absolutely killer, but beyond that... brrrrrrr.

😲 So, does the oil work for that too?

hollowangler68 said:yeah, totally 🙄
especially when she's marking her territory all over the studio
nah, I'll pass

her voice is just completely trashed—but other than that... brrrrrrr

Wait, aren't you mixing her up with Peach's? 🤔
