By the Numbers
Casablancas writes all fourteen tracks alone, returning to the Is This It arrangement after sharing the second album with Albert Hammond Jr. The change here is in the production rather than the writing: David Kahne replaces Gordon Raphael, the running time nearly doubles, and Andy Wallace mixes. The songs still come from one person.
First Impressions of Earth is The Strokes' third album, released in January 2006 on RCA with David Kahne producing. It is their longest record and their least compressed, and it topped the UK Albums Chart. "Juicebox" and "Heart in a Cage" were the singles.
