I love these lyric sheets!

2 but julian i'm a little older than you January 29, 2013 at 10:23 pm

Thelma and Louise!

3 Matt January 29, 2013 at 10:24 pm

It doesn’t sound like Julian is saying “can’t wait no longer”…

4 Tommy Pickles January 29, 2013 at 10:26 pm

I hope they do lyric sheets like this for all of the songs. That was one of the cool parts about FIOE

5 Nicki January 29, 2013 at 10:29 pm

Ohh Thelma and Louise is that what the pic’s all about? I was trying to figure it out. Jules and Albert in a car, holding hands… Somebody shooting at them? Lol makes sense now

6 Nicki January 29, 2013 at 10:43 pm

I agree tommy I loved that about FIOE it would be really cool if they do it again

7 Bobby January 29, 2013 at 11:36 pm

That’s hilarious. I wonder if Albert co-wrote the song. It mostly sounds like a Casablancas solo song, IMO.

8 LillySu January 30, 2013 at 12:05 am

LOL, those hands are like primates hands. So hairy!

9 Mario January 30, 2013 at 12:56 am

@Bobby
Albert tweeted that they co-wrote the song, including the lyrics.

@Matt
He does kind of stretch out the “longer,” but I can hear it.

I’m already loving the artistic direction this time around. First the cool album cover (regardless whether real or not), then this awesome retro lyric sheet.

12 the modern age January 30, 2013 at 4:43 am

Where are the lyrics sheets from FIOE? I saw the ones from Angles but don’t think I know about any others! I think they’re so cool.

@Television, me too!

13 Annie 1251 January 30, 2013 at 4:52 am

AWESOME!! :)

@Tommy Pickles
Yes Lyric sheets for ALL the songs please!

@Television
Agreed! It reminds me of how much effort Julian put into the artistic direction of Phrazes – the artwork for the posters, the album cover, etc….

@LillySu
I wonder whose hands they really are? lol, because they’re definitely not Julians and I don’t think they’re Alberts.
I guess they’re just trying to clearly show there that they are MEN’s hands (holding hands)…but like Thelma & Louise…hahaha…I love it!

FIOE lyrics book is with the cd itself. u should buy the cd. the whole book is full of ‘julian casablancas/the strokes’ kind of artwork.

15 LillySu January 30, 2013 at 6:20 am

@the modern age
Here are FIOE lyrics, mixed with all other FIOE album artwork…

@protogyl and LillySu, Thanks! I can’t believe I didn’t know about that! That’s what I get for letting other people burn CDs for me. I’m buying it today, so thanks for telling me.

17 H January 30, 2013 at 8:00 am

Those 2 hands look like they’re from the same person! Even with the lyrics its meaning is still cryptic to me.

@LillySu, thanks for the link, I’d never seen them until now. I LOVE the artwork for Evening Sun (fitting as it’s tied for my favorite track from FIOE with Electricityscape). The one for Ask Me Anything looks very Angles-esque.

20 Dracula's Lunch January 30, 2013 at 8:22 am

Yup just saw the news!!! :)

21 Acombs1793 January 30, 2013 at 8:24 am

So I guess that IS the album art, I really like it sime but effective in a vintage way.

22 R Guy January 30, 2013 at 8:57 am

Just saw the strokes site! I guess this is the real album art…..interesting…..

23 the modern age January 30, 2013 at 8:57 am

YAY!!!!!

Matt, You win the release date pool. Sorry I don’t have a prize for you though :)

24 R Guy January 30, 2013 at 8:57 am

The only thing I’ll see from far away is a big RCA logo

25 H January 30, 2013 at 8:58 am

No cool artwork? Wee bit disappointed here.

Can’t wait for the single in Feb.

26 mateja January 30, 2013 at 9:01 am

Yep, Ryan via mail confirmed that that’s the artwork. I really don’t get it.

27 the modern age January 30, 2013 at 9:05 am

I really like the whole vintage thing! Different for them, but then again, so is their new sound. I’m into it.

28 Jasper January 30, 2013 at 9:07 am

I like the cover, especially the color. Hopefully we’ll get some cool artwork and lyrics in the album booklet like FIOE had.

29 Emma Pompidou January 30, 2013 at 9:08 am

After all the critics about Angles’ artwork, maybe they decided to go for something plainer, just like they did for ROF after the polemics on ITI.
It’s quite simple but I like it, there’s a cool retro vibe in it. And if we get the lyrics book made by Warren and Julian, the cover won’t really matter right ?

30 Matt January 30, 2013 at 1:08 pm

Yes!! I guessed right!

@Mario
That was… Interesting. I’m more surprised at how quickly this came out, considering that OWT was just barely released.

31 frans February 1, 2013 at 7:00 am

“One Way Trigger” sounds more like Julian Casablancas than The Strokes.

I got tired of the synths so I made a more down to earth version: https://sites.google.com/site/videothestrokesonewaytrigger/

32 Matt February 1, 2013 at 1:10 pm

@frans
sounds like kings of leon/black keys.

33 alx February 4, 2013 at 8:45 pm

I love the design on the lyrics sheet since FIOE, and the one’s we got from Angles (wish we had Under Cover of Darkness’ one). But the funny things is that most of the lines doesn’t sound anything like what’s written…oh, Jules!

ps. I fuckin love the “i dont wanna be in bed without ur lovinnn either” bit
