For every Arctic Monkey album I've had to listen to it a total of three times before I really began to enjoy it, this includes their debut. I knew this going into Humbug but I still can't bring myself to like it. It's got some decent songs but it's nothing great. I liked the maturity that I heard in Favourite Worst Nightmare, however I think Alex needed to turn down the reverb on his voice a tad bit. Anyways I forgot where I was going with this post, but I understand how you feel.

I thought Humbug was pretty boring, and a bit too close to queens of the stone age esque pastiche for my liking. To be honest though, I haven't really liked them since their debut.
