Review: Best Since 'Is This It' - As a hardcore Strokes fan my opinion may be slightly biased, which I have considered before writing this review in order to make it worth reading. Despite this I cannot fault this album, and that is my honest opinion fan or no fan. This album has variety which cannot be seen on any other Strokes album, whilst at the same time keeping within an alternative 80's theme, each song flowing effortlessly on to the next. It is a joy to listen to; my current favourite songs being 'Tap Out', 'Welcome to Japan' and 'Happy Endings' however this changes on a daily basis because every song has different qualities about it, being such a diverse album. New techniques and styles are used, which is parallel to their last LP 'Angles' however, this time it feels professional and works well like it is meant to be that way, rather than almost experimental like with Angles. Overall it sounds like a band that has evolved and improved, making songs that are so different yet are so undoubtably Strokes, because of the powerful hooks and addictiveness that you can only hear from this band. It is hard for them to ever out-do 'It This It' which is the curse of a perfect debut LP, so critics are always lukewarm with any other album they put out. But I can say with certainty that this is yet another intriguing, fresh and perfect album which will remain in my collection for many years to come. Review: Characteristic brilliance from The Strokes. - All the talk about how well these guys are getting on behind the scenes, or if this is going to be their last album, or if they are going to tour it aside. Comedown Machine sees The Strokes at their most creative and most adventurous. I fully accept that this album may not be what people are looking for from a typical 'Strokes sound' however, I really believe they are incapable of making music that isn't extremely catchy. I just find everything they do very interesting. I personally like when a band changes their sound and branches out and I honestly never thought The Strokes would do that. There are moments that will make you remember why you love them in the first place, moments that surprise you and moments that may downright confuse you. Julian's vocals are at their most varied here, with excellent use of falseto 'One way Trigger', 'Chances' , 'Slow Animals' as well as his usual deep baritone aggressive vocals too 'All the time' '50/50' he has also introduced the use of an almost whispered vocal in use in a few songs which really ass to the overall chilled vibe to this album, which is by far The Strokes' most mellow album pound for pound. The guitar work is superb as always and always seems to find ways of evoking interest, especially in songs like 'Tap out', '50/50' and 'Welcome to Japan'. As far as the Bass work goes here, it is definitely less at the forefront on this album but after enough listens it becomes more apparent how much the bass brings to the overall sound. The drums are tight as usual with a lot of interesting syncopated clicks and trademark hi-hat 16th notes too. An interesting note on this album is the expansion The Strokes have made from 'Angles' in Synthesizers. Songs like 'One way Trigger', '80s Comedown Machine' and 'Chances' are very much synth driven but still retain an unmistakable Strokes sound in my opinion. I would give Comedown Machine 4.5/5 if I could but I feel it is better than 4/5 so I gave it 5. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00BCR353E | | Best Sellers Rank | 54,651 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) 3,763 in Alternative Rock 12,660 in Vinyl | | Country of origin | Portugal | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (647) | | Item model number | 88765455791 | | Label | RCA Records | | Manufacturer | RCA Records | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 30.73 x 0.76 x 30.48 cm; 294.84 g | ## Images ![Comedown Machine - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61JWlz3hnRL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Since 'Is This It' *by K***4 on 15 April 2013* As a hardcore Strokes fan my opinion may be slightly biased, which I have considered before writing this review in order to make it worth reading.

It's a bit more mellow and mature than the last albums with more synths and on some songs Julian's singing is more falsetto/soul than rock but the tunes are just as good as on their previous albums with the usual great guitar riffs.Quite extraordinary how they keep coming up with such classic tunes. I can't stop listening to it and it gets better every time! Do yourself a favour and buy it immediately. ## Frequently Bought Together - Comedown Machine - The New Abnormal - Angles --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/50281939-comedown-machine](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/50281939-comedown-machine) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
