The Strokes Relaunch Website

So The Strokes just released their new website today. My first impression of it is that it breaks some fundamental rules of web design: 1) It resizes the browser window. 2) It uses a splash page. 3) It uses a javascript pop-up window as the actual website. 3) It has uses a Flash-based design. On the other side, it’s a huge improvement over their previous design—plus, there’s a cool new music video of You Only Live Once reminescent 2001: A Space Odyssey (could this mean The Strokes are becoming Advanced?). Hopefully the new website means another album is in the works, despite their prolonged inactivity, Albert Hammond, Jr.’s solo albums and Julian Casablancas joining up with Queens of the Stone Age.
