The record got the Golden Status, which confirmed listeners’ interest in The Strokes’ creativity. After such a strong debut numerous music lovers expected the rockers to present the extremely interesting continuation, and Room On Fire (2003) completely satisfied their expectations. Of course, that kind of attention from the respected magazines was a great proof of high level of The Strokes’ performance. The band’s debut album titled Is This It saw the light in 2001 and it made a real furore: the famous magazine NME placed Is This It to the seventh line in the list of 100 Best Albums, while the eminent issue Rolling Stone honored that studio attempt to become a part of a list of 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time. The Strokes preferred to collaborate with RCA and started preparing the material for their first studio recording. The Strokes’ demo proved to be extremely bright and interesting, so various labels had a strong competition to win the right to work with the young band.

Actually that worked out and The Strokes began their career with fourteen songs, including Last Nite, The Modern Age, New York City Cops and other compositions that later became one of the most recognizable songs of the quintet. It was obvious since the very first rehearsals that the musicians would find the mutual understanding in no time. The rock band The Strokes, which got the well-deserved title of a legendary group, was formed in 1998 in New York.
