The Top 30 Albums Of 2020 (So Far): The Strokes - 'The New Abnormal'

"This is The Strokes in their prime. Everything about this release will draw from you a hearty, healthy sigh of satisfaction." - Anna Rose

We're sure The Strokes didn't mean it but somehow they've given themselves the most fitting album title of 2020 - The New Abnormal. That uncanny fact aside, what they have created is also one of 2020's best albums. 

Their first album since 2013's Comedown Machine, the album sees the New York heavyweights dig deep, blending their signature 2000s indie rock sound with '80s pop and some Lou Reed-esque styling to create The Strokes for the next era.

The best part of a decade may have passed between albums but it's resulted in The Strokes sounding as relevant as ever.
