About this album
Their third album, First Impressions of Earth, was released in January 2006 to mixed reviews and debuted at number four in the US and number one in the UK, a first for the band. In Japan it went gold within the first week of release. It was also the most downloaded album for two weeks on iTunes. Fraiture claimed that the album was “like a scientific breakthrough”.[3] In January 2006, the band then made their second appearance on Saturday Night Live playing “Juicebox” and “You Only Live Once”.
The album was somewhat a departure from the band’s two previous albums. One reason for this was a switch of producers from Gordon Raphael to David Kahne. Despite its initial strong sales, First Impressions of Earth received the worst reception, both commercially and critically, of all their three albums.
In 2006, the band played 18 sold-out shows during their UK tour. In February 2006, The Strokes won “Best International Band” at the NME Awards. In March, the band returned to the US with their longest tour yet. The second single off First Impressions of Earth, “Heart in a Cage”, was released in March 2006.

Every stokes album is brilliant in its own right. Impressions keeps up with their tradition of making new music that is unique but classic strokes at the same time. Nitpicking to bring down the album is stupid. All the tracks blend for an experience. Having heard it all, I would be disappointed to suddenly have a few tracks vanish from existence. Open you ears people, this is good music.

dude i agree with 15 minutes and killing lies, those are the weakest tracks, but fear of sleep is great!

If that album didn't have 15 minutes, fear of sleep, killing lies it would be a lot better. I mean then it would have 11 songs and it would be perfect.

It used to be my favourite Strokes album, but now I think I'm gravitating towards Room on Fire. Still very great though.
