Nonetheless, Is This It's more famous songs "The Modern Age", "Last Nite", "Hard to Explain" and "Someday" won the band much respect and helped the album reach number two in the UK and number thirty-three in the US. Hyped by the music press for their melodic pop-influenced garage rock sound on both sides of the Atlantic, The Strokes' auspicious debut garnered them critical and popular attention, as well as a backlash from listeners turned off by the hype. The Strokes were the first band to break into the mainstream as part of the turn-of-the-millennium garage rock trend.


Released in 2001, Is This It is the debut album by the American alternative rock band The Strokes.
