ReviewsRanked #30 in Spin's "40 Best Albums Of 2009" -- "A wonderful surprise, its sharp, synth-heavy new wave as ingenious and addictive as a Rubik's Cube.", "'Out Of The Blue' starts the album in jaunty style....From the unexpected soul shading of '4 Chords Of The Apocalypse' and the country swing of 'Ludlow St.,' he is clearly enjoying the stylistic freedom afforded him here.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "'River Of Brake Lights' is a cyber-punk fuzz of vocoder, drum machine and malfunctioning-computer solo, for Casablancas it's exciting unchartered territory.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Throughout, he delivers a mood that homages almost the entirety of the 1980s....These are songs that, rather than having been dispensed with quickly, have been taken to their logical conclusions.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "PHRAZES is like his version of Thom Yorke's THE ERASER -- guitars submarined by wild-angled synths, off-kilter beats tripping up big ballads.", "The first single, '11th Dimension,' has an old-school dance vibe, complete with electro pulses and enough vocal irony to maintain the cool factor...", "The Album's Eight Songs Have Indelible Verse-Chorus Hooks....The Architecture Is Amazing."

Additional InformationJulian Casablancas uses the Strokes’ sound as a foundation for exhilarating experiments that make this a true solo album. ~ Heather Phares
