I had no idea this is the "UK issue," when I picked this up. I love this album. All the songs are very catchy. You just have to tap your foot. The cover art is interesting...I'm sure all the men picked this one up instead of the other version.
I think The Strokes should've kept NYC cops on the other version, it's way better than that other bland song they chucked on there. Anyway, I absolutely love the song "Last Nite." But all the other tracks are equally good.
I don't know, is this garage rock? Or "indie" (what is that btw?) Or just plain old rock? Don't ask me. (Because I wouldn't know.) All I know is that this is great rock. Whatever type it might be.

Highly recommended!
