First Impressions: The Strokes - "Under Cover of Darkness"

It starts with a guitar riff that tells you right off that bat that it's The Strokes. Couldn't be anyone else. Julian's vocals come in and it's only confirmed.

The verses have a nice structure, and an almost Hawaian feel about the guitar bleeds into what can only be described as a Strokes chorus. The chorus you know you'll have in your head for the next few weeks.

The solo is nice, and it ends all rather abruptly. It's breaking no new ground, but it doesn't need to. The Strokes are back. And on form.
