Comes a time when every great band wonders if the world's stopped needing them. And there comes a time when every great man realizes how much he needs the world. For Julian Casablancas, these two moments have collided, like a meteorite crashing into an orphanage. "I'm tired of everyone I know / Of everyone I see / On the street and on TV," he sings on First Impressions of Earth.
