The Strokes will begin recording their next album shortly. And according to bandmates Julian Casablancas and Nikolai Fraiture they could be doing so as soon as January next year. Fraiture said this:

While the guys are in LA, I went to scout some studios in NYC with Ryan [Gentles - The Strokes manager] today for what looks like Jan recording.

The band's 2001 album, Is This It?, was named best of the decade by NME.

I'm actually really looking forward to this. Is This It and Room on Fire are amazing albums, didn't care much for First Impressions though.

Only song I ever really liked by these guys was the title track of "Is This It?".

That was not supposed to be a reply.

Thank god. Then NME can announce that, 9 months in, we have the best album of the 2010 decade.

I think NME actually panned everything but their first album. Maybe not - but most critics did. Their first record is really fucking good, and I would say Top 20 easily for the decade - in my opinion at least.

I'm with you about the first album. It was worth all the hype and then some. Just a great, simple, straight ahead rock record.
