Arctic Monkeys

[2muchket!]

Well there is no real proper thread so I though I'd start one. So I though I'd start off with whats your fav song by arctic monkeys ?

[dei]

No one likes Arctic Monkeys. Stop.

[DrunksWithGuns]

No one likes Arctic Monkeys. Stop.
lmao.:chug:

[pulseczar]

No one likes Arctic Monkeys. Stop.

NME likes them :)



oshi

[Dave de Sylvia]

Please make the gimmicky title go away :(

(I like the AMs, actually)

[dei]

NME likes all things British or wherever these talentless hacks are from.

[La Revolucion]

My favorite song by the Arctic Monkeys is probably "Perhaps Vampires Is A Bit Strong, But..."

[EightMilesHigh]

whats your fav song by arctic monkeys ?

The one that was never recorded OH SNAP

[Dave de Sylvia]

The one that was never recorded OH SNAP
oh snafu

[Kurtz]

The one that was never recorded OH SNAP
BA-ZING








/me likes arctic monkeys

[FA]

Ehh, I'm really not a big fan of them, oh wells.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

They're part of that new version of hardcore, it's like medio-core. :p

They're ooookay, they're annoying for some reason but slightly catchy, but then annoying again because of the guitars. So they're just an occasional listen for me so I can grasp the catchyness and not the guitars.

[Cain]

Not a fan.

[moosepirate]

I've heard that they're culturally significant, maybe in the vein of Blur, but that doesn't do much for me. It sounds like a bad version of Strokes meet Oasis.

[Kurtz]

I've heard that they're culturally significant
not in california

keep in mind they're released one album

[dei]

Kurtz, you're kinda cute.

[The Great Decay]

They annoy me.

[moosepirate]

not in california

keep in mind they're released one album

Try to grasp the Blur comparison, socially not sonically:smash:

[Scuba_Steve]

They're part of that new version of hardcore, it's like medio-core. :p



That joke was already done.

And made into a whole FREAKING SONG!

[WeezerTool523]

I like Mardy Bum, and the album too. Its very upbeat and fun to listen to :)

[dei]

WeezerTool523 has to be the worst username I have ever seen. How do you pair these two together, man?

[Kurtz]

Try to grasp the Blur comparison, socially not sonically:smash:
ahhh yes
there we go

Okay.

[WeezerTool523]

WeezerTool523 has to be the worst username I have ever seen. How do you pair these two together, man?

I like weezer and I like tool, so I put it together?

[pgm]

Whatever people say this thread is, That's what it's not.

[ThaFleastyler]

My fave song at the moment is "Fake Tales of San Francisco".
But to be honest, NME likes a whole heap of outlandish crap that I will probably never be able to appreciate. Case in point: Kasabian (apologies if I spelt it wrong). I just don't understand the big deal with those guys.

[JonM]

I like The Arctic Monkeys, but I just sold my tickets to the show to see Steel Pulse on the same night. Good call? I would say so.

[dei]

I don't understand what the deal is with every band NME wanks over.

[sgrevs]

not in california

keep in mind they're released one album

Champion avatar, Wondershowzen for life.

Dancing Shoes or When the Sun Goes Down.

[W.M.A]

hows about everyone forgets about NME, and judges all bands subjectively, prejudice free.

[Sound Boy]

i really like "fake tales of san fransisco" and "a certain romance"(expecially the bassline)

but they've become a lil passe. too many people labeling them as the best band like they did a couple years ago with the Darkness

[gazzareth]

they're not as good as all the hype. but they're not as bad as most people in this thread think they are. they make catchy brit pop tunes. nothing ground breaking though.

[myiaa]

hows about everyone forgets about NME, and judges all bands subjectively, prejudice free.You forget that the average "indie music fan lol" in the street has exactly 6 times less brain cells than you and me.

[Krash100]

I think they're good in small doses. I don't see them as a revolutionary breakthrough band that some make them out to be, but they have some fun songs.

[2muchket!]

I recently got the EP who the fu'ck are arctic monkeys and I was still impresses. The title track is by far the best song on the EP.

[Zorg]

They'd be lost in obscurity if it wasn't for NME jerking them off all the time.

[Dave de Sylvia]

hows about everyone forgets about NME, and judges all bands subjectively, prejudice free.
Paradox-free too.

[morrissey]

I like them but then again I like all kinds of crap.

[211dave112]

the ep sounds too much like the album, everysong on there i hear people saying "the one that sounds like............" i think they're ok, nothing special but easy enough on the ears

[neal_672]

I like them, always have.

The EP only had 3 good tracks mind, No Buses and Despair In The Departure Lounge, were poor.

Not as significant as everyone keeps making them out to be though.

[Tsuruka]

I don't see why many people on this forum hate the Arctic Monkeys, I rather enjoy them. Yes, they are overhyped, but they're not rancid like some say they are.

I rather enjoyed Despair in the Departure Longue on the EP, and disliked the title track, so :confused:

[cap]

Urgh. Really don't like them much, The Libertines did it with so much more class.

I've said this before.

[STLMiguel]

I don't like the Arctic Monkeys (AT ALL), but they certainly aren't horrible. When they first came out and I heard them, I was like "GOD THIS SUCKS," but if they were some band from my town where I knew the singer, I wouldn't hate it or anything. It isn't my cup of tea, but the hatred comes from all the hype, not the music. Bands like Franz Ferdinand, etc., those are the bands I hear and hate no matter what kind of hype exists. The Arctic Monkeys at least seem to know how to rock without being too terribly lame or stupid about it.

[the_room_is_on_fire]

the view from the afternoon & still take you home

people compare them to the strokes too much when they sound barely alike.

[masada]

I like them. Stuff like "Riot Van", "Mardy Bum", and "A Certian Romance" far out-class the rest of their material though.

[FUnkarockadrummer]

There not that bad.

Its just been done before. and done better.

I think im just jealous that they have been ridiculously sucessful I they are my age. Im getting bitter, old and jaded hahahaha.

[!aaa!]

I quite liked them a month ago, but now I feel a bit of a spaztard. Our band learnt "I Bet You Look Good On the Dancefloor" so as to please the indie kids.

[Senor_Whippy]

Arctic Monkeys are a great band. The only problem is, everytime a hot new British band pop up on the radar the ****ing NME bleeds them dry and print their name on every page. Then later on they'll find a new band and do the same with them. That's why a lot of people aren't really into the Arctic Monkeys or even The Libertines for that matter. Sorry about this post people because it's a bit of a rant but......is NME run by retarted Monkeys or something?

[Clunge]

Their bassist has left.

[Untitled]

I like them, there alright.

This made me lol, its on the reivew part at the top of the page

"Arctic Monkeys
Who The fusty walrus! Are The Arctic Monkeys EP"

[Clunge]

"Arctic Monkeys
Who The fusty walrus! Are The Arctic Monkeys EP"
I saw that yesterday :lol:

[2muchket!]

Their bassist has left.

Temporairly :thumb:

[Clunge]

Temporairly :thumb:
Yeah, I read that just after I posted it.

[2muchket!]

Well Andy Nicholson has now actually left the band. More info here www.arcticmonkeys.com

[Jacaranda]

Well Andy Nicholson has now actually left the band. More info here www.arcticmonkeys.com
That wasn't predictable at all.
When I saw them live at the end of March Nick was wearing some type of cast or brace on his right hand. I only saw it briefly before there was madness and I'm was just wondering if any one knows what that was?

[2muchket!]

Dunno, really I wonder why he actually left. Reports say it wasb't to do actually do with the band. He might have personal problems.

[Carvel]

I can't believe this dude quit being a rockstar. You make it, and then you quit. I don't get it.

http://suicidegirls.com/news/music/16797/

[twistinside]

i enjoy them. like everyone has said before me, they aren't ground-breakingly talented, but their music is fun & easy to dance to. & sometimes that is all i need.

[2muchket!]

Indeed. Hopefully I'll still be able to see them at Leeds, won't be the same without the original line up tho' :(

[211dave112]

it's a shame, some of his bass lines were what made some songs stand out.

[GOme]

Why name a band the Arctic Monkey's? Does it have a meaning or...?

His bass lines seemed to be pretty catchy.


and away

[plasticjewelry]

the arctic monkeys are wretched.

[2muchket!]

^ Would you like to explain ?

[Cool Beans]

I like them :)

[trysthedrummer]

My band sometimes gig at a place called Silhouette's near here, the Artic Monkeys played there as well about a year ago.

And no, I'm not a fan of their stuff.

[blizzard]

I don't mind them. They are playing my town soon but I won't pay $60+ to see them.

[echoproject]

Well the're from the Rotherham/Sheffield area which is about 30 mins from me and i really like them, Alex Turner writes good lyrics and his band produce good music, to be fair you cant really knock them if they had the fastest selling album in the uk at 1 point, songs like "The View From The Afternoon" and "I Bet That You Look Good On The Dance Floor" are really good, i know people who listen to constant rap and hip/hop which also love this band which is a good sign, i think they could make Indie and Alternative music a lot more popular with the younger generation now, some of thier unreleased tracks are great e.g. "Bigger Boys and Stolen Sweethearts" its the kind of thing that people are slowly gettin used to know so good luck to them and i hope their next album has even greater success then the previous.

[Englishzip]

yeh big up the gangs of new yorkshire

[Spoonful]

The Arctic Monkeys sound like they just started playing their instruments yesterday, really boring to me.

[nutty_bar]

I think all their songs are "fun." I love the cd.

[rocknrollstar5]

The Arctic Monkeys sound like they just started playing their instruments yesterday, really boring to me.

They started in 2001, quite recently. I'll be seeing them at Reading hopefully

[711]

I think they have an interesting way of playing.

[bleep_bloop]

they dont really have an original sound and their music is boring.

[2muchket!]

Leave Before The Lights Come On is a great song, I really like the vocals and lyrics too.

[masada]

qaergf83ut4eri03rr3r

[randomthought9]

They're ok, I listened to the CD, meh. I like i bet you look good on the dancefloor, but it never blew me away.

[masada]

that song sucks

all the rock songs on it suck

[wartree]

fake tales of san francisco is a good song too, i think that they are pioneers, and their music is diferent and sounds cool, the vocalist have a particular and cool voice...And ya for example they didnt have guitar lessons, a few members of the band said that they have received a guitar in christmas, and learned to play it alone...

[masada]

True pioneers, man.

[Substitute]

They were called 'a chain-smoking, British Jane's Addiction', but their album has a cool theme to it.. If you listen to the whole thing, it kind of sounds like the experiences have through a night out on the town with your friends, a post-teenage angst mixed with longing for the idea of a girl you could never be with, envy for those who can, pity for the people who'll never understand, and self doubt, the idea that maybe you could just be full of **** and full of yourself, all wrapped in this hatred of your British surroundings, your parents, your friends, your enemies..

[Sunny Afternoon]

If you listen to the whole thing, it kind of sounds like the experiences have through a night out on the town with your friends, a post-teenage angst mixed with longing for the idea of a girl you could never be with, envy for those who can, pity for the people who'll never understand, and self doubt, the idea that maybe you could just be full of s--t and full of yourself, all wrapped in this hatred of your British surroundings, your parents, your friends, your enemies..

That's kinda interesting. I never noticed it before.
Don't forget the attacks on the music industry with 'Maybe Vampires...'

[2muchket!]

Oh aye don't believe the hype and all that.

Just listenend to WPSIATWIAN again and it's a just as good as it was 12 months ago. And I think I want A Certain Romance played at my funeral. Reminds of a fair ground that song dunno why.

[Electronic Wolf]

The trend is dead.

[CardCheat]

Yeah, pretty good band, but wasn't worth all the hype they got a few months back.

[Rabbi]

i really just cant get into them

[rocknrollstar5]

Well they just sold out Lancashire Cricket Ground (HUGE) in 3 mins,

"were Arctic Monkeys, this is I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor, dont believe the hype"

[2muchket!]

I have high hopes for their 2nd LP. The NME has been true to form and has lost interested which means the endless stream of hype and bullsh'it hopefully won't be present around their 2nd album.

[PECOAE]

My favourite song by them is probably "A Certain Romance," but they're not my favourite band by any means.

[1987]

Yep, all the hype alright...but I bet the money will roll right in.

[Horrorshow34]

#1 in the album of the year poll? they've still got some love left to give the monkeys, though there's a Klaxons-shaped cloud appearing above their heads

[Electronic Wolf]

50,000 tickets in three minutes? People really are dumb.

[Kyle]

It's a good album, I like 'em.

[Jacaranda]

Aye i agree with kyle.
fun stuff

[bleep_bloop]

i dont like it at all its bland and boring.

[SailAway]

It's a fun album, thats all.

[wartree]

Its a superb album thats all.

[Electronic Wolf]

Its a superb album thats all.

Explain.

[2muchket!]

Explain.

Great lyrics some nice musicinaship considering their most experienced musician Matt Helder has been playing only 3 years. Couple that with the fact that they write fun catchy tunes and I think any arguemnt against that WPSIATWIAN isn't a good album is, well, bollocks really.

[RunnerUp]

It sounds like a bad version of Strokes meet Oasis.

Thats what I thought. Its just some 19 year olds talking about how shitty nights at the clubs are. It kinda grows on you though. Ill put it on every now and then.

I got a kick out of NME putting it as the #5 British debut of all time the same month it came out.

This entire post is a huge 'NO.'

[shirodead]

it's fun and relaxing listening to their songs. Pretty good album too, not great but good. They never got any hype around here, no one knows them actually, except for maybe 5 or so people.

[woundedmonkey]

i think they're pretty good. nothin special but they do have a lot of catchy songs. i'd have to wait for another album to say how good they really are you know

[Sepstrup]

The song writing is good. It's not revolutionary, but they have some nice tunes. Whatever People Say I Am is an awesome album.

[Untitled]

Its a decent album.

I think there pretty crappy live though, they played really well, but they had no stage presence, they just stood there, then they would say "all right?" but said " all r-8"

[sportsfan4427]

where are you from

[_Mote_]

[2muchket!]

Whatever mate, it's my own personal opinion. I justified why I like 'em (and why other people do) and if you want to ridicule that then well ya know **** Off ?

[Sepstrup]

I think there pretty crappy live though, they played really well, but they had no stage presence, they just stood there, then they would say "all right?" but said " all r-8"

Yeah, they weren't very energetic at Roskilde where I saw them.

[Jacaranda]

go vote in r&m 06 album poll for them. they don't have a chance :(

[2muchket!]

I've voted I saw 'em get quite a few votes actually.

[Triangle]

They played well n all when I saw them at Reading but their stage presence was lacking.

[bleep_bloop]

theyre not anything new and their music is rather boring

[dei]

They're actually really, really bad.

[bleep_bloop]

agreed

[Neoteric]

theyre not anything new and their music is rather boringthis opinion above is also my opinion

[La Revolucion]

I like them. There's a few songs on their full length that are really dull though.

[Kyle]

Riot Van and Still Take You Home is enough to make any album good.

[dei]

No, you're wrong.

[2muchket!]

No ur wrong

[Boilermaker]

No, they're bland, un-original teenagers who got lucky, and nothing more.

the record was such a disapointment.

[bleep_bloop]

123

[dei]

No, they're bland, un-original teenagers who got lucky, and nothing more.

Truth. Which is pretty awful because I was already expecting a crap record, and they failed to meet that.

[Boilermaker]

Everyone was saying they were here to bring back rock n' roll and they were indie rock's saviors.

lol.

[dei]

rofl

[Jacaranda]

calling them bland and boring is retarded. and makes me question if you have even heard the album...? i mean sure you might not like it but to call it boring is just stupid.

[bleep_bloop]

no its pretty boring

[Jacaranda]

ok. but not really... name one reason why they are boring

[Kyle]

Why can't people just accept the album for what it is? Some of the press might have exaggerated their talents, but they can clearly string a decent song together, and do so without an ounce of arrogance.

[Jacaranda]

meh i wouldn't say without arrogance but i'd say they are charmingly arrogant. when i saw them this summer he was heckling the crowd as being rubbish and all that british crap but then he (alex turner) also turned around and made fun of himself.

also "some press" read as: NME

[dei]

I know what bad press you're talking about and I've listened to the album. It's amazingly boring and ridiculously bad.

[Eliminator]

great album

[dei]

I hate you.

[Eliminator]

dei got me questioning

where is the love?

[PECOAE]

I liked it a bit - some of it got a bit too cocky Oasis.

[Kyle]

also "some press" read as: NMEYeah maybe, but you can't really make the music they make without some confidence and swagger.

[2muchket!]

Alex Turner has that swagger that Liam Gallagher has but he's not really an arse like gallagher. So in that respect they're similarr to Oasis but musically no, as on the whole Oasis nicked beatles melodies (to some degree) and theres nothing beatles-esque about Arctic Monkeys.

[PECOAE]

True, Arctic Monkeys have a harder edge on their sound - a hard rock spin on Oasis.

[dei]

Oasis blow, too.

[2muchket!]

I've discounted your opinion, mongoloid.

[Clunge]

-1/10.

[bleep_bloop]

yeah oasis is terrible

[dei]

I've discounted your opinion, mongoloid.

Because I disagree with your crap taste in music? Makes sense.

What's wrong with being a mongoloid?

[margin0walker]

ugh i really dont like this band

[PECOAE]

ugh i really dont like this band

ugh. I really don't like the new breed of anti-hipster that thinks it should put down something because everyone else is doing it.

[StaticSynth]

Debut album was entertaining. Don't see a particularly bright future for them though.

[woundedmonkey]

i think when their next album is released most people will have a different opinion about them. i liked their debut a lot but its kind of hard to judge a band off one album you know

[sportsfan4427]

yea it'll be very interesting when they're next album comes out, i think if they don't change that much they'll just fade away
but judging by Who The **** are Arctic Monkeys they've got some good stuff in them

[sobelecta]

It's kinda good album, if a bit tiresome after a while. I like 'When The Sun Goes Down', that's a pretty sweet tune.

[sobelecta]

I think their next album will be average, I've heard some of the song titles and it isn't looking great.

[woundedmonkey]

if its not better than Whatever People Say I am, That's What I'm Not then they wont have a future




/at all

[The Great Decay]

Stop bumping this thread, the Arctic Monkeys suck.

[bleep_bloop]

ugh. I really don't like the new breed of anti-hipster that thinks it should put down something because everyone else is doing it.

i thought thats how hipsters always were.

[Kyle]

I think their next album will be average, I've heard some of the song titles and it isn't looking great.I can't believe your judging the new album off a few rumoured song titles.

I honestly can't see the band 'fading away' as some of you are suggesting, I think they'll be around for a long time.

[PECOAE]

i thought thats how hipsters always were.

Weird. The anti-hipsters are becoming the new hipsters!

AHHHHHHUUGH

[Electronic Wolf]

Hipsters are anti-hipster.

[risesirrise]

Hipsters are anti-hipster.

Best way I ever heard that put.

[2muchket!]

Because I disagree with your crap taste in music? Makes sense.

What's wrong with being a mongoloid?

No because I'm sick of having to justify why I like this band. I'm not suggesting there the be all and end all of indie & alt music, they made an excellent debut yet I think some people just hate on 'em as it's the "in" thing to do. Plus I'm sick and tired of justifying my reasons of liking said band.

And how can you base your opinion of an albums aying it will be average on the fuc'king TITLES ?

[sportsfan4427]

It's a fun album, thats all.

yea it's nothing like special talent wise or anything but it is certainly fun and catchy songs that aren't too poppy

[EightMilesHigh]

ugh. I really don't like the new breed of anti-hipster that thinks it should put down something because everyone else is doing it.

or maybe they just don't like them?

[W.M.A]

It's probably a bit of both. Some people don't like them and some are just too cool.

[Dinosawesome]

I don't mind these guys as long as I don't overlisten to them.

[Jerzzzey]

They rock!

[2muchket!]

Heard Brianstorm today. An amazing song with some nice drumming :thumb:

Have high hopes for the new album too.

[Jacaranda]

turn up the bass on the new song, yo.

[das efx]

If there is one indie band I really hate it's the Arctic Monkeys.

[Kyle]

New song is ok, bit of a dissapointment though I guess.

[rocknrollstar5]

i think the new song actually, its pretty good. i like the debut but expected anything off this one to be bad. hope the rest of the album is good if not better

[bleep_bloop]

the arctic monkeys suck

[IntenselyGorgeous]

I saw them about a year ago, and they remind me of Green Day Meets Blur. It was a such a fun show!

[DonBass]

yeah i cant wait for the new album. i liked brianstorm a lot

[samthebassman]

The knew track is an absolute ****in killer, awesome song.

[Aria.]

fave song at the moment is dancing shoes

[Zmev]

Super good live.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Wait, the new album isn't even out yet? wtf is Favourite Worst Nightmare?

[Six Foot Revolver]

Wait, the new album isn't even out yet? wtf is Favourite Worst Nightmare?
'Favourite Worst Nightmare' is the new album and yes it is out =S.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I just realized that post was made 6 weeks ago.

Whoops.

[wartree]

indeed brianstorm isn´t the best song of the album by far

[absolute24]

I bet you look good on the dance floor. that's the only song i've heard from them so far.

[bleep_bloop]

ugh not this thread again

[perriwinkle]

dude know what thread is like that for me

the ' get me into some post rock ' thread

adn the cold play thread why was there a coldplay thread alive for soo longgg

[perriwinkle]

btw arctic monkeys played a sold out show in DC tonight and i was not there.

[Horrorshow34]

are the arctic monkeys getting pretty big over in the states right now?
i heard 'favourite worst wet dream' went top 10

[Jacaranda]

they are just like any other indie rock band some people know them and others have never even heard of them. (the shins, modest mouse and decemberists come to mind)

[Six Foot Revolver]

they are just like any other indie rock band some people know them and others have never even heard of them. (the shins, modest mouse and decemberists come to mind)
Really? That's surprising.

[planewreck]

they are just like any other indie rock band some people know them and others have never even heard of them. (the shins, modest mouse and decemberists come to mind)
Everyone I know know The Shins, Arctic Monkeys and Modest Mouse.

[Dinosawesome]

I own 'Whatever you say I am I'm not" and it's got some catchy tunes out in. Nothing incredible but by no means bad.

They are quite well known here in Aus though nowhere near as big as the latest 'scene' explosions (FOB, P!ATD, MCR)

[DonBass]

Everyone I know know The Shins, Arctic Monkeys and Modest Mouse.

thats pretty bold dont you think

[Jacaranda]

Everyone I know know The Shins, Arctic Monkeys and Modest Mouse.

why that is truely fascinating.

[2muchket!]

After being indifferent to the album for quite a long time I gave it a hole day of listening. And I like it almost as much as there debut. Stand out songs and favorites for me are Teddy Picker, 505, Fluorescent Adolescent, Old Yellow Bricks and Brianstorm.

[dei]

They're still bad.

[Tangy zizzle]

I think it's a bloody good record. I'll be the first to admit that I didn't like the first one but I think that was more forced than actual distaste. I bought the new one on the strength of "brianstorm" and I'm glad I did.

[dei]

You still have bad taste in music.

[margin0walker]

They're still bad.

1 2 3

[Tangy zizzle]

You still have bad taste in music.

Um, Libertines, Kings of Leon, Jet & Fratellis > all.

[2muchket!]

Jet are one of the worst bands ever.

But you redeem yourself for liking AM

[Tangy zizzle]

Jet rule lol.

[dei]

Um, Libertines, Kings of Leon, Jet & Fratellis > all.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

You're kidding, right?

[Tangy zizzle]

By Christ! Of course not. Where's the funny?

[rocknrollstar5]

Jet are one of the worst bands ever

You are a twat

and Arctic Monkeys are still pretty good even though there 2nd album wasnt as good as their first (who's ever is) and even though they have become popular their songs are still quite good

[rocknrollstar5]

Um, Libertines, Kings of Leon, Jet & Fratellis > all.

He's right, catchy music won't kill you:chug:

[margin0walker]

Jet is one of the worst bands to ever walk this earth.

[dei]

Libertines, Kings of Leon, Jet and Fratellis aren't catchy, they're annoying.

[DonBass]

thanks

[sgrevs]

Jet is one of the worst bands to ever walk this earth.

This statement rings true.

I like both Arctic Monkey's albums. They're both excellent.

[Tangy zizzle]

For the Record and to clarify: I do not like Jet, Kings of Leon, or Fratellis (I can handle Libertines) though I do like the Arctic Monkeys. Whichever way you take that I still have better taste than you (yes YOU) and about 97% of the rest of this board.

[DonBass]

^that is also pretty bold dont you think?

[Tangy zizzle]

Not in the slightest. Do yr homework slugger.

[mmmPousto]

they're not as good as all the hype. but they're not as bad as most people in this thread think they are. they make catchy brit pop tunes. nothing ground breaking though.

+1

I like a certain romance quite a bit ... It' got a nice upbeat ska kinda feel in the verses.

[80vs90]

every band mentioned on this thread just plain sucks, imo.

[Doctor D.]

Whichever way you take that I still have better taste than you (yes YOU) and about 97% of the rest of this board.

Good to have you back,Tangy.

[2muchket!]

But yeah for those of you who do like this band what are some of your favorites from the newest album ?

[dei]

For the Record and to clarify: I do not like Jet, Kings of Leon, or Fratellis (I can handle Libertines) though I do like the Arctic Monkeys. Whichever way you take that I still have better taste than you (yes YOU) and about 97% of the rest of this board.

That's kinda impossible when I have the best taste in everything.

505, Fluorescent Adolescent, Teddy Picker. IDK, the whole album is awesome apart from 'Only One Who Knows'.

[DonBass]

Not in the slightest. Do yr homework slugger.

yeah i forgot to research the fact that your musical taste is better than 97% of all people on mx

[Zmev]

I saw The Fratellis live and they were eh.

[rocknrollstar5]

i saw them live and thought they were pretty good, even if they were off their tits on coke. they were overshadowed by kasabian who they were supporting

There was no need to point this out. The obvious stays obvious buddy.

It could be possible that I included yr lovely self in that 3%, did ya think of that?

If you were then yr wrong. You have a shockingly pedestrian, out for the sake of being out and basically quasi-pretentious taste in music (everything?).

Good luck with that :)

[sgrevs]

Brianstorm, Do Me A Favour, and 505 are my three favourite from the album probably. its really good though, and lots of people haven't given it a chance. It's very different from the first album.

hey tangy I have a good taste in music i listen to only bloc party and kaiser chiefs and arctic monkeys what u think man?

[Tangy zizzle]

I think yr a waterhead who needs to start listening to better music. Or, um, a guy who's trying to be clever/smart/cool and who failed in an epic way.

BUT HEY THAT'S JUST ME

I'd be offended if your opinion meant anything to anyone. Too bad it doesn't.

[Tangy zizzle]

Meh. I don't try to offend, and ya' know we're not so different you & I. You try and stir people up, as I used to and it seems as though you've hit a few sore spots along the way. gg really.

Oh and it does matter.

[dei]

I can't remember who said it, but someone said I am/was "dark Tangy or NPC lite."

Sup?

this thread bothers me

I was looking at that dude's location. Semen stains the mountaintops...

[rocknrollstar5]

[DonBass]

I was looking at that dude's location. Semen stains the mountaintops...

so what is it that you don't like about them? most people i know that listen to them like them alot.

[Eliminator]

shut up faggot

[DonBass]

... kinda unnecessary

[rocknrollstar5]

shut up faggot

i wouldnt say that to a real life don!

even if he is just the don-bass fish
cod would have been better then you could have been the Codfather

[Bukowski]

that's probably the only Neutral Milk Hotel song I like. Generally, they suck dick.

Arctic Monkeys, they're tolerable in certain states (ie - drunk).

[YDload]

i've checked out a lot of the music that Tangy champions and it's all pretty good for the most part. i think he's telling the truth when he says he has better taste than 97% of the board (in fact he's being generous)

[Robert Crumb]

Tangy knows.

[dei]

Tangy blows.

Fixed.

[Robert Crumb]

No but really guys I'm glad we have a 12 page thread about the Arctic Monkeys.

[dei]

I am not happy.
