The Strokes - First Impressions of Earth
First Impressions of Earth is the third studio album by The Strokes, released on January 3, 2006, through RCA Records and Rough Trade. Marking a shift from the band’s earlier garage rock sound, the album explores a darker, more expansive style, with heavier guitars, complex song structures, and more experimental production. Produced by David Kahne and guitarist Gordon Raphael, it features standout tracks such as “Juicebox,” “Heart in a Cage,” and “You Only Live Once.” Lyrically, the record reflects on themes of disillusionment, fame, and modern alienation, showing a more mature and introspective side of the band. Though initially met with mixed reviews, First Impressions of Earth has since been appreciated for its ambition and depth, standing as a bold and distinctive chapter in The Strokes’ evolution.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR RECORDS
Always handle your vinyl by its edges and label, avoiding fingerprints on the grooves. Before and after each play, gently clean the surface with a carbon-fiber anti-static brush or a dedicated record-cleaning solution to remove dust and debris. Store records upright in their sleeves, away from heat, humidity, and direct sunlight to preserve sound quality and prevent warping..
