I've never made it through this album. They sounded too much like a carbon copy of Joy Division. It made me angry.

Strokes and Interpol sound vaguely like VU/Television and Joy Division but with all the charisma sucked out of the original bands.

"Obstacle 1" sounds like a JD outtake, albeit with the vocals in a slightly higher register.

Haven't listened to this since I was probably 16. Pleasantly suprised to find it still holds up (though with a touch more melodrama than I can enjoy)

For the hundredth time, they sound like the chameleons not joy division.
