199 - The Strokes - Is This It
Already reviewed when the album was ranked #367. After giving the album another listening, I think...
I've listened to several of Velvet Underground's albums since I listened to Is This It in September 2011. That definitely helped me better appreciate this album, but I get any more hooked on the songs this time as I had previously. I don't see why it would jump all of the way from 367 to 199. Had I not encountered it previously and just came to it now at 199, I would suspect it was the recipient of undue praise for their presence in a cultural moment and not so much the music on the album.
