Unlike their preceding albums, this upcoming Strokes-album (which will be released on March 26, Ed.) is less influenced by their typical indie/garage rock sound, but more by the elektropop/new wave sounds the band started to apply with the creation of their previous album Angles.
Given this sound diversification, the band seems to have found the perfect combination of the different styles they used in the past years.
Notwithstanding this sound diversification, the only single of album, All The Time, exists of dynamic guitar riffs with alternating softer and louder parts.
Introduced by the song One Way Trigger, the clear influence of electro/synth pop appears to the album, a song that is followed by the animated indie-alike pop song Welcome To Japan.
Only exception on this fifth Strokes-album is probably the last song, called Call It Fate, Call It Karma, in which softer and dreamier sounds take the overhand.
