Oh sorry - well basically, I hadn't seen you on the forum before so just assumed you were some twonk from my country with bad taste in British indie and cookie-cutter britpop. Course I don't think that of ya now .

Ahh, well if you asked me about 4 years ago then i probably would have been, though i don't think even i liked Hard Fi when they came out..

great album... i wasn't the biggest fan of it at first, i loved the first one right away because it was such a refreshing sound from what i usually hear. anyways, one day this album just kinda came together for me and now i prefer it to the first one. alex turner is a wonderful musician and quite prolific at that. My problem with the monkeys is that they for some reason shy away from songs that seem meant to be played acoustically and it kinda bugs me. There are some great live acoustic performances and i think AM would do well to record on acoustic.

5 stars though, Do Me a Favour is an outstanding track

You mean, he writes a lot of music?

Best track on the album.

This is a great album, I'm listening to it right now.

One thing I noticed about the Arctic Monkeys is that although they don't have any outstanding solos on either album they are capable of producing some great guitar laden music. I liked their debut album better but it was sincerely hard for me to distinguish which songs I enjoyed better. I have to admit, when I first heard of them, I was a bit skeptical, but I learned to enjoy them. Alex Turner may not be a great songwriter but he's certainly interesting enough. It's very, very British rock n' roll.

Um, how is he *not* a great songwriter? Anybody who single-handedly writes a track like Mardy Bum is clearly a very very talented writer.

I wasn't insulting the kid. I really like it too. But I read (and ascertained) that he seems like he doesn't have confidence in the material he writes. If he overcame his inhibitions, he could make a truly remarkable album.

That might be true. I hope it is.

Seriously now, is there any reason to hate this album?

It's darker than their debut, but it's dark with a message.

Matt Helders is a beast on the drums.

All of the songs are catchy.

They are not pop.

Brilliant band.
