The New Abnormal
The New Abnormal is the sixth studio album by American rock band the Strokes, released on April 10, 2020, through Cult and RCA Records. Their first album following "Comedown Machine" (2013) from seven years prior, it 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. 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 songs "At the Door", "Bad Decisions", and "Brooklyn Bridge to Chorus" were released as singles prior to the album's release, with "The Adults Are Talking" being released as a single post-release.

"The New Abnormal" received positive reviews from critics, many of whom considered it a return to form. Praise was particularly directed towards the maturity of Julian Casablancas' lyrics and the band's improved sense of musical cohesion. It reached number 1 in Scotland and the top ten in six other countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom. The album also won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards in 2021.
