Is This It (Vinyle)Released in 2001, this debut is one of the most celebrated rock records of its era, a concise, effortlessly cool collection of garage influenced tracks built on Julian Casablancas' sardonic drawl and interlocking guitar lines from Nick Valensi and Albert Hammond Jr. It arrived like a jolt of energy at a time when rock had grown bloated, sounding simultaneously indebted to the Velvet Underground and completely of its moment.
