I wouldn’t say I hated Room on Fire by The Strokes when it was released, but I do remember thinking it compared unfavourably with Is This It, which breathlessly captured the zeitgeist. Time has softened my opinion, and I now listen to it as often and with the same fondness as their flawless debut. Both records take me back to the early 2000s and the excitement of visiting New York for the first time.
