Arctic Monkeys - opinions?

[m1spw]

So whats the general consensus on the Arctic Monkeys?

Personally, I think they're great but UncleDave and Cyberhuss have just said they are crap

[Mrs Trackside]

Not impressed

[egomeister]

Better than sliced bread

[lazyitus]

I concur. I've given the album a fair listen in the car and my conclusion : emperor's new clothes and NOT the saviours of rock, as most journos will have you believe.

To be fair, they're not bad....

The Prodigy is better though

Anyone who can get the lines "....he's got a driving ban, amongst other offences..." is good in my book.

Bugger, sorry, I'll pay attention in future

I just can't get into any new bands. I guess I'm getting old (33), but really none of them do it for me. I'll stick to listening to my strange mix of Beethoven, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Thin Lizzy, Duran Duran, Air, Zero 7, and KT Tunstall which is a great album

You see what happens when you type, listen and write all at the same time .

I bought it yesterday... listened twice... its ok, very samey which was a bit disappointing. Will keep listening as I can see it being a grower.

Imagine all those Essex girls dancing round their handbags to:

"they're all infected but 'e'll be alright"

[lazyitus]

'cos e's a scumbag, don't you know?

Bloody hell, what does that make me (I'm 35), not yet ready to consider myself old.

Artic Monkeys - IMHO one of the best albums I've heard in a long time.
