Reading like some sort of self-correcting reaction to the polarizing response that greeted previous cut "One Way Trigger" and its (at least to our ears, exciting) falsetto/ new wave/ "Take On Me" left turns, The Strokes veer back Strokes-"traditional" on new offering "All The Time", the "official" lead single to the band's upcoming Comedown Machine full length.

Thanks to The Modern Age EP and its full length follow-up Is This It , The Strokes will likely forever remain a major staple in conversations of why music (especially rock) in the '00′s was worthwhile, but after the many polarizing responses of the band's successive releases and various side dishes and the army of sound-alike acts to emerge in the years that followed, it's hard to pinpoint exactly what is really expected from The Strokes in 2013, even as the anticipation for how it might sound is high.
