"Phrazes for the Young" is the debut album from the Strokes' lead singer, Julian Casablancas.  And because it's a solo album, it should be listened to without any prejudices.  If you try to compare it with the raw sound of the Strokes, you will disappointed.  This new album has some pretty downbeat themes with some upbeat tempos.  Think of it less as an album about rebellion and more as a collection of songs to boogie down to.
