《First Impressions of Earth》是The Strokes乐队加入RCA之后的第二张专辑，也是乐队的第三张正式专辑。专辑在美国发行第一周的销量为8万8千张,在本周Billboard 200专辑榜中的排名却与《Room on Fire》持平，名列本周第四位。在本周Billboard 200专辑榜中的排名却与《Room on Fire》持平，名列本周第四位。
在专辑的制作方面，The Strokes仍和包办了前两张专辑的老搭档Gordon Raphael继续合作，顺理成章的就是，The Strokes在音乐上不仅再次延续了之前的复古曲风，而且更是将乐队擅长做的旋律华的精彩的Riff发挥得淋漓尽致。无论是开篇曲目《You Only Live Once》，还是打榜单曲《Juicebox》，或是《Razor Blade》，The Strokes标志性的Riff都贯穿始终，而创作核心Julian Casablancas也再次包办了其中大多数的歌曲。

Angles is the fourth studio album by American rock band The Strokes. It was released on March 18, 2011, through RCA Records. It was the group's first album in over five years, following First Impressions of Earth (2005).
