Main page appearance

Hello! This is a note to let the main editors of this article know that it will be appearing as the main page featured article on February 20, 2011. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/February 20, 2011. If you think it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured article director, Raul654 (talk · contribs). If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions of the suggested formatting. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :D Thanks!

Is This It is the debut studio album by American indie rock band The Strokes. Recorded at Transporterraum in New York City with producer Gordon Raphael, the album was first released on July 30, 2001 in Australia, with RCA Records as the primary label. The record entered the UK Albums Chart at number two and peaked at number 33 on the U.S. Billboard 200, going on to achieve platinum status in several markets. "Hard to Explain", "Last Nite", and "Someday" were released as singles. For the album, The Strokes strived to capture a simple rock sound that was not significantly enhanced in the studio. Band members molded compositions largely through live takes during the recording sessions, while lyricist Julian Casablancas continued to detail the lives and relationships of urban youth. Following the completion of Is This It, The Strokes embarked on a promotional world tour before its release. The album's cover photograph courted controversy for being too sexually explicit and was replaced for the U.S. market. The American track listing was also amended in light of the September 11 terrorist attacks. The record is considered crucial in the development of other alternative bands and of the post-millennial music industry. It has featured in several publications' lists of the best albums of the 2000s and of all time. (more...)

Congratulations in advance for your Main page takeover! I remember you doing excellent work to fine tune Rumours for FA, but I lost track of you after that. I see you've been quite busy at FAC. Great work! Binksternet (talk) 07:01, 19 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is highly recommedned in NOT RE-ASSESS the articles you write yourself, especially from mid-importance to top-importance with no summary and not apparently reason. Consider to ask an uninvolved re-assessment at Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Assessment. Tbhotch* ^{۩ ۞} 05:09, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
