The Strokes "Angles" soundtracks and through the upward climbAngles is The Strokes first true giant step forward from Is This It?. They tighten the striving that was spread thin across First Impressions with proven martial jangle: Fraiture and Morettis stoic grip on the beat; robotic Yardbirds crossfires of crispy fuzz and brittle treble guitars. Machu Picchu is a sly union of cocky menace a bony city reggae gait, wet with echo and the kind of rapid strum fury that came with the choruses on early Who singles.
