About this album
Is This It is the debut album by the American alternative rock band The Strokes, released in 2001. The Strokes were the first band to break into the mainstream as part of the turn-of-the-millennium garage rock trend. Hyped by the music press for their melodic pop-influenced garage rock sound on both sides of the Atlantic, The Strokes’ auspicious debut garnered them critical and popular attention. Moreover, Is This It’s more famous songs “The Modern Age”, “Last Nite”, “Hard to Explain” and “Someday” won the band much respect and helped the album reach number two in the United Kingdom and number thirty-three in the United States. This album is featured in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.

Going to have to agree with Mickeybrasil. As it stands, Is This It is definitely my favorite Strokes album - and an awesome record, don't get me wrong. But as far as the best album released in the past 10 years? Hmm.

Cool, but I think calling it the best album of the decade is an exaggeration.

@ PandaPierce: As far as I'm concerned, Room on Fire is their magnum opus. Putting on any track means listening to the entire album. First Impressions holds its own and is very good, but it's hard to beat opening acts like Is This It and Room on Fire. The Strokes are an excellent band and they have yet to disappoint.

@ Conditionals: Are you kidding? Room on fire is pretty good but it is't anywhere near the level of Is This It. As far as First Impressions, that album is just awful.

They started playing this album the other day in when I was in Hot Topic...I pretended to browse around just so I could here it...I left a little after Last Nite. I forgot how great this f'n album is.

Great, but not as good as the other two. Also, how can anybody compare the two covers? The international 'true' cover is iconic, the US one is merely a placeholder so they could stock it in Wal Mart.
