Comedown Machine by The Strokes
Comedown Machine is an album by The Strokes, released in 2013. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 3 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “All The Time”, on 3 lists with a best position of #22.
Comedown Machine, the fifth studio album from the Strokes, came out on RCA in March 2013, and the band barely lifted a finger to sell it: no interviews, no TV spots, no photo shoots, no shows and no tour. The sleeve was dressed up to look like an old RCA tape reel box.
The same five who started it all in New York in 1998 are still here, Julian Casablancas, Nick Valensi, Albert Hammond Jr., Nikolai Fraiture and Fabrizio Moretti, but the sound has wandered far from their garage-rock grit: Casablancas's voice drifts and floats, and the guitars twitch over a retro synth sheen. "All The Time" is the closest thing to the old Strokes strut. Reviews were mostly kind even as sales dwindled, and NME placed it at number 41 on its list of the year's 50 best albums.
