The New Abnormal is the late-career Strokes album that finally justified the wait: Rick Rubin strips them back while letting Casablancas' falsetto wander into synth-pop melancholy. "The Adults Are Talking" and "Ode to the Mets" rank with their classics. A Grammy and a creative pulse, two decades in — nobody predicted both.

About
The New Abnormal is the sixth studio album by American rock band The Strokes, released on April 10, 2020, through Cult and RCA Records. It was their first album in seven years, following Comedown Machine (2013), and their first release since the Future Present Past EP (2016). The album was produced by Rick Rubin and recorded at his Shangri-La studio in Malibu, California, with additional recording taking place at studios in Los Angeles County and Hawaii. Its sound was described by writers as indie rock, new wave, post-punk, and electronic music. The Strokes began performing songs from the album for the first time at different shows in 2019, before revealing the album's track list and cover art in early 2020. The cover art features the 1981 painting Bird on Money by American artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. The New Abnormal received positive reviews from critics, with praise being directed mainly towards the maturity of the lyrics and improved cohesion among bandmates. The album was preceded by the singles "At the Door", "Bad Decisions", and "Brooklyn Bridge to Chorus".
