They're good, just not as good as the music press makes then out to be IMO.
f for fake
Beer & whisky please
There crap, nothing special about them, with out myspace they would have no real fan base and no album deal, Its amasing about hype aint it.
Personaly i loved Urban Hype back in the 90's

if any one has seen the mountain bike movie, earthed 3, its kind of hard to not hate them. the section which features "still take you home" is dam fine and the music really captures them mood.
as fas as nme music goes, they aint too shabby, when im on the mood for something in between full on mellow and full on punk/hardcore/ska then i'll listen to them, hot hot heat or the strokes (1st album mostly).
troulbe is, can they repeat with a good 2nd album? and singles, i heard a single which wasnt on the album, and it was shite.

Yup, love them.
They use words from my childhood, and don't speak in a Yank accent. What more do you need?
You're in your early 30s aren't you? Why would they be using words from your childhood?
Could you even get those things in the mid-90s when they were kids?
Liked the pre release version of their album that was knocking about the net, didn't like the release version as much sounded way too finished, saw them live on the NME tour and they were shit, they have no personality or stage presence........I predict they will be gone and forgotten shortly like much of the 'fashionable' music that is about right now.....

Aha! That might be what I'm picking up on, I hate that city.

I'm not a fan of waste high litter, vastly overpriced polluted housing, the Northern Line, people stepping over your dead body, massively expensive drinks, shite public transport and drunken aussies myself. Give me Sheff everytime. Like crap pubs in the local area, North London is great as it keeps the wankers from spoiling elsewhere. I spent a year in Camden, never again!

Heh you mean you couldn't hack it. You non Londoners are too soft is your trouble.
Whatever happened to the Arctic Monkeys?

Their last studio album was in 2018, and it went to number 1 all over the world. They had a live album out last year that went to number 2 in the UK at least.

I think my favorite thing about them is the headlines about Gordon Brown liking to "wake up to the Arctic Monkeys" while seemingly unable to name one track by them.

They'd be alright if they had a singer that could sing instead of one that sounds like a Jack Russel that's just had its tail stood on. Also if the band sounded different and they had different songs.
