A.V. Club: Best of the Decade

Onstage, frontman Julian Casablancas truly projects, his voice taking on rough properties that tend to go flat beneath all the megaphone distance he favors in the studio. And the players behind him actually play, their fastidious habits buried by the sheer force of a rock band doing what good rock bands do.
