Mine to keep....forever

"I just received this gem of an album today and have already listened to it at least six times....yeah, it's that good! I am a huge Strokes fan, but never heard Albert speak or sing before, so I was a little wary of how his voice would sound, but I was more than pleasantly surprised by his great voice on every beautiful song on the album. After hearing this record, I think the Strokes should split up singing duties half/half on any future albums between Julian and Albert much like the Beatles did. Every song is a joy to listen to, but the one that will never leave my head is "Scared", which is nothing less than four minutes of pure heaven. If you have the chance to pick this album up, don't hesitate to do so-I promise you won't be disappointed."
Albert is the new Julian :)

"I listen to the Strokes religiously, and I am such a huge fan. -This album was so not what I had excpected. It is a lot softer and more mellow than the strokes. Albert has such a great voice, again, not what I had expected. It's sort of "the Strokes meets the Shins" but better!! If you love Indie, buy this album! If you love the Strokes, buy this album and support the fellow bandmate Albert Hammmond Jr!!"
Good Music

"I've been a fan of the strokes for a while now. I even saw them in a festival in stuttgart, Germany. Hammond is a great guitarrist, especially live, where he sound's just like in the studio. I did'nt knew what to expect of his solo effort without his bandmates, and without his partner in crime from the strokes in the guitar Valensi, but his guitar work is mellow and flawless in this album. Hope to see him live, come to puerto rico, lots of fans here. Peace"
