I don't know much about them but I have there s/t, over here in the U.S. they are [retty unknown. I like "I bet you'd look good on the dance floor"

Lead singer Alex Turner's side-project Last Shadow Puppets were also pretty good!

I love their song Mardy Bum. It's very catchy and well written. Their newest single Crying Lightning is addictive.

Alex Turner's Lyrical Doubt


Here's an article I found on a guitar tab website I visit occasionally. Normally I don't bother with their news because of how poorly the articles are written, but this one did strike my fancy. I think it's a little weird that Alex would be self-conscious about his lyrics, despite all the positive press he gets about them.

Has anyone else heard their new album? It leaked yesterday. I kind of like it, I think it may be a grower, hard to tell so far.

Listening through the album right now, sounds pretty good. First listen and I already think it's better than FWN.

the album THE AGE OF UNDERSTATEMENT is much better than any Arctic Monkeys album.
seems Alex Turner is working on another project with Miles Kane for release in 2010.

but it's not certain yet.

4 songs in...

- Dangerous Animals had a sweet solo
- Alex sounds bored and unenergetic at times

Ok final first impressions:

- Short, a bit underwhelming, but definite potential to grow

- Best song was Dance Little Liar

- Songs were layered beautifully, especially compared to previous albums

- Keyboards and Acoustic Guitars were used finally
