"Machu Piccu" and "Taken for a Fool" http://soundcloud.com/1077-the-end/sets/1077-the-end-the-strokes/s-WkUlU
I like about half the songs, don't care for the rest. Some of the songwriting seem unfocused but their are some cool parts. Nick the guitarist said the songwriting process and making the album were miserable so it's no surprise.
I'm about to give it a shot. I know post rock is sort of played out but I always had a soft spot for them since seeing them live a long time ago. I hope they tone down on the "twinkle" sound and go more subtle. I always really liked "The Rescue" EP they did.
