Julian Casablancas, the 'frontman' of the hit 2k0s Manhattan-based buzzband "The Strokes" recently tweeted out a picture of the Strokes' new album art. Many ppl are 'anxiously awaiting' this album, saying that if the Strokes 'return to their roots', it has the chance to save both 2k11 AND retroactively save 2k10. However, the album cycle got off 2 a bad start now that Julian Casablancas has tweeted a photograph of the new album art.

There are tons of dangerous images contained in this image, so we'll probably be seeing a 'Kanye-style' banned album art alternative cover option.

Artistic analysis of the Strokes album art:

It seems like there is an African American basketball player who is just 'ballin', then a clown, who is like "Ur just a clown. Ur don't have a real job. Ur just genetically gifted 2 be good at an absurd sport. Ur life is meaningless. I make people laugh." Then there is a rainbow that represents "the gays", and how slutwave artists don't really care about gay people, but only see them as an audience that they can exploit. So the NBA player (potentially Kevin Garnett) is like "Ur gay, clown", representing how there aren't any 'openly gay' athletes in the NBA or NFL, and how professional sports + African American hiphop culture can still be kinda homophobic and unwelcoming of the LBGT community. They are both being pulled on a train, which represents how we are all slaves to society, and the goat represents 'the devil' and how he is looking over our society, giving the white clown power to oppress and control minorities, filling innercities with illegal drugs 2 fuel addiction. The waterfall represents the illuminati controlling the corn farming industry.

Do u think this album art is 'racist' and 'anti-gay'?
Have the Strokes 'gone 2 far'?
Will the Strokes still be 'relevant', or will they just turn all bro-ed out, like the Kings of Leon?
Does this album art mean that the album is gonna 'totally blow'?
Should there be more 'black peens' on this album art 2 make it more 'controversial' [via Kanye West]?
