The missing part of this rediscovery is where they are going to exist in today’s market. This single will definitely make you stop and think, The Strokes were a really great band, I had forgotten how much music they had shared with us over the past… and then you’ll hold them sacred as one of America’s top rock acts. One can only hope it convinces dudes to trim their beards. I checked out the video release of Bad Decisions and the camera finds the band well, spry, cheeky even. Bonus points for the Basquiat album art too. His delivery is believable and just-out-of-pocket, often moaning, right where we’ve always adored him. From a songwriting perspective, Bad Decisions is purposeful, it’s well-crafted and mainstream enough to sell albums yet esoteric enough to please indie music snobs. I can hear the under-the-breath comments now, “wow, this band’s ripping off The Strokes”. Rhythmically-forward songs of the past have been recaptured in this single and put forth in the usual Strokes manner. If the single is an accurate representation of the upcoming album, indie guitar aficionados and guitar store cowboys are in for a real treat. Bad Decisions is packed with staccato guitar parts and well-thought-out tones.
