The Adults Are Talking - The Strokes Guitar FC (RB3 Custom) HD Gameplay (Xbox 360)
6My Thoughts On The Song/Chart: A great tune and the opening track from The Strokes 2020 album "The New Abnormal" which is considered to be one of the band's best albums in a while and a return to form for the band.
Despite being tier 4 on Guitar, this song isn't too tricky and i feel is a little overtiered, it certainly is pretty standard for what i expected from a song from the Strokes chart wise.
