Julian Casablancas's Phrazes for the Young has a very solid sonic foundation, the suitably half-Strokes/half-not aesthetic one might expect from a successful side project. "11th Dimension" is utterly infectious, "Left Right in the Dark" is pleasant (especially the Fountains of Wayne-esque keyboards on the chorus and the line "Watching the urban decay all around us, oh boy"), and "Out of the Blue" is practically a cut from The Strokes' underrated First Impressions of Earth.
