Then five kids from New York put out \u003cem\u003eIs This It\u003c\/em\u003e and reset the clock. Released in 2001, the debut album from The Strokes reignited a genre and drew the blueprint for a decade of indie bands chasing the same lean, wiry cool. Almost none of them caught it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEverything here is economy and attitude. Across eleven songs, Julian Casablancas and company distill garage rock and post-punk down to their sharpest essentials, all clipped guitars, deadpan vocals, and hooks delivered with studied nonchalance. \"The Modern Age\" and \"Hard to Explain\" announced the band's arrival, \"Last Nite\" became the ubiquitous anthem that broke them worldwide, and the ragged \"New York City Cops\" gave the record its adrenaline. The whole thing runs barely half an hour and never wastes a second of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMore than twenty years on, \u003cem\u003eIs This It\u003c\/em\u003e remains a permanent fixture on greatest-albums-of-all-time lists and one of the most influential debuts of the century, the record every subsequent guitar band has had to measure itself against. It still sounds effortless, timeless, and faintly untouchable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is the US LP pressing on RCA, cut at Sterling Sound. Notably, the vinyl retains the original tracklist including \"New York City Cops,\" the song famously pulled from the US CD in the wake of September 11. A definitive pressing of a modern classic, and the way this record was always meant to be heard.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AMS","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl","offer_id":47478355755170,"sku":null,"price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/5024\/3490\/files\/0078636804514.jpg?v=1785179685","url":"https:\/\/staticatx.com\/products\/the-strokes-is-this-it-lp","provider":"Static ATX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
