Just as a pollution line ruins an otherwise chromatic, beautiful sunset, pitch-breaking autotune defiles what would have been an otherwise catchy, moving addition to The Strokes’ discography.

Curry Barker’s “Obsession,” the current poster child of the genre, felt like a heavy-handed swing and miss from an underdeveloped and uninteresting filmmaker. “Obsession,”...
