Is This It might be the catchiest indie rock record ever. Every single note is so calculated. Even the breath's and coughs just fit perfectly. They were billed as the "Saviors of Rock and Roll" but they kinda killed it because no one has put out anything on the level of their debut since. Not even them. They also just looked perfect for their sound. A perfectly packaged band delivering a perfect product for young people and people who wish they were still young....even a quarter century later.

I love how they have turned into this stadium-heavy indie rock group with prog arrangements yet have lyrically & emotionally somehow stayed true to the bedroom atmosphere of the first records. nostalgic and fresh at the same time, perfect for your Sunday bike rides

This changed my mind about them it’s very good I originally thought they were a kind of mediocre nostalgic callback to 90s alt rock but now I think they’re a pretty good nostalgic callback to 90s alt rock
The heavy breathing sound during the intro is perfection

i love to reminisce and miss things about my past. i think its a good thing. it means my life was exciting. i think it also keeps those memories alive and present. better than forgetting and losing memories to the abyss. it also keeps me accountable. i want myself in 5 years to reminisce on my current life so i cant just lie around and do nothing.

This movie drags and is kinda dull and theres no music and the dialogue is fine. But the backdrop of a long gone New York City varnishes all of that. Its 2 hours of young Al Pacino living the aesthetic that you might think you want but actually you probably dont want, for you.
