I would like to have another discussion whether the American or original/international album cover should be used first in the box. I get the feeling that some people just cannot cope with the depicted nudeness of the original, since it is always reset by random IPs. In an artistic sense, to me, this
750:
I strongly disagree with "Top" importance. What RB88 said above might be enough for "High" importance but even that's a leap of faith, as RB88 didn't really say very much. Given the standing of this band and album in the overall history of rock, I would rate this a "Mid" importance. I could change it
655:
I bought this album a few years ago, I have what is apparently the U.S. version -- U.S. cover art, , with track 9 being listed in the liner notes as "When It Started." But the song that plays as track 9 is "New York City Cops," whihc is on the U.K. version. I didn't realize the error for a few years,
706:
Essentially just read the Commercial and Accolades sections. And stop changing it to mid or something else ridiculous. There haven't been that many albums with the same coverage, awards, and list making ability of this one in the past 10 years or maybe even longer. Especially for Alt music.
925:
Think this section needs a table as the album has received so many accolades from America, Britain, Australia etc Magazines, newspapers and websites. I do intend to find more because there are plenty of big names who have ranked this album in their "best of the decade" lists.
656:
I just thought the refrain of "When It Started" has the phrase "New York City Cops." Anyway, does anyone know if that is a common issue, does anyone else have a version of the album that lists "When It Started" but really has "New York City Cops" like mine? --
588:
The International cover is the official cover of the record. The Strokes thought the cover would be too controversial in the united states, so they changed it in the US. This cover comes from the video for "Hard to Explain"
553:
Of course the original, actual albumn art should be used. Why on Earth would the American release take precedence? Is Knowledge an American initiative or a Global inititiative? Open source for the web; not just for
1359: 751:
real easy but I'm sure someone will just change it back. Of course, it is very easy for fans to inflate the importance of their fave albums. Step back and ask yourself what a neutral observer would think. --
671:
Hey, I just came to this page because of the same thing; the song that's been on my iPod for 3 1/2 years as "When It Started" is, apparently, the song called "New York City Cops." So, who knows how rare it
1354: 115: 35: 60: 1384: 325: 335: 736:? Critically acclaimed, sure, but wider cultural impact is relatively minimal. By the way, this articles needs to use American English, as this is an American band. 1389: 1263: 1259: 1245: 1153: 1149: 1135: 1043: 1039: 1025: 876:
Statements in the lead do not have to be cited as they summarise the rest of the article. If you read the whole thing then you'll see what has been summarised.
840:
Says who? Hate to be a nag, but how is it that such a blatant unsubstantiated claim makes it all the way to featured article status without being challenged? -
1326:. The band's origin ist not really an argument to me, because the album sales were even better abroad (where the original cover is used). What do you think? -- 1399: 1379: 430: 301: 440: 96: 1404: 687:
Factory error, perhaps? Maybe you have my CD and I have yours. My jewel case says "New York City Cops" on the back, but my CD has When It Started.
297: 288: 249: 779:
After many months of no comments, the Importance is being changed to something realistic. Saying this album is "Top" is undeserved boosterism.--
1394: 1364: 406: 1374: 1349: 941:
Summary is best, meaning an accolades table wouldn't be too feasible, particular since there is no way we could (or should) list them all.
1121: 861: 797: 769: 555: 506: 493:
I think Julian was talking about the drug, too. Considering there are lines in the song like, "They tried it once and they liked it."
