That's pretty good going for a band whose combined age is 16.
I sincerely hope it will feature some open-wound British grit regurgitated with a poetic verve...some shit about fisting girls in neighbours gardens, eating sav and chips with a reckless chavlin, and falling flat on alco-pops, ooooo yippy. Turner is the modern day Charles Dick-stain yadda yaadda blah blah blah cough sweets
^ he likes the Arctic Monkeys.
...lemsip. fuck off. goodbye.
you like them
so much, that you started a thread about them....
I've only ever listened to two songs.
There on my periphery...but I never really acknowledge them. Much like Nany grasping for her inhaler.
you love them, admit it.
I love them as much as I love Americans.
im not american....
So why so arsed about the new album?
Personally, I'm quite looking forward to a new album from them. In light of Alex's forays into stringtastica, it will be interesting to see how they follow up Favourite Worst Nightmare, which was by no means Whatever People Say I Am... Mk II
Because I know it will be banded around the music press offices like...
...grapes at a Caligula themed party.
Sex-grapes.
Dick
You suck grapes
'only ever listened to 2 songs'
my knowledge of AC is probably not much greater than yours, but if you've only heard 2 songs, why are you in any position to start a thread like this?
we all like them...
anyone that can rhyme "Reeboks" and "socks" is fine by me!
So yeah...I hope he writes about more quintesentially English things like sheds, gnomes, bourbon biscuits and fuel prices (are you getting all this Turner, you modern-day Lord Byron you?)
i want him to make more "brian" puns
that'll go down a....
....treat
Gnomes are quintesentially German (by origin...I think the Dutch have hi-jacked them)
and don't use 'we''
You can't fog-horn for everyone.
sorry to fog-horn
by sex-grapes, do you secretly mean piles?
No....I mean the sort of grapes you shove up a cunt.
goodbye.
baby-bump
arctic monkeys
are a very good band, admit it and deal with it
Is this dada poetry?
he should write about living in a castle
I'm pretty sure I will be able to ignore
this album just as I have the others.
heheh sex-grapes
they're spectacular live
and have a shit load of good (but obviously not high brow enough for you lot) songs, which I enjoy alllot.
Check out some of their b-sides or early demos for some happy danceable songs. The second album also has some well crafted songs as well. You can't deny that they're talented to a degree.
Enjoy your 'im indier than thou' obscure shit whilst the nation appreciates what is collectively known as good music.
High brow?
I just used the term 'sex-grapes''!
claws out, represent!
yup
they are obvously good yeah
just not my kinda thing. They have never floated my boat enough to bother looking into an albums worth of songs. Not bothered if other people enjoy them good on um...
arctic monkeys are brilliant
They are.
DiS just doesn't like what they've become.
Shit?
very little of that is accurate.
even remotely
you can't summon a cogent arguement...
...when your username is 'shitpissfuckcunt''.
It's a fairly pointless thread, to be brutally honest
Successful Band Who Haven't Split Will More Than Likely Make Another Album.
Doesn't matter how good the album is
It will be gobbled up by the massed.
Frankly, I can take them or leave them, I have no strong feelings either way.

Spitting venom.
Do you really like Alex Turner that much?
Utter, utter tripe.
Turner's lyrical style excels any of the modern day generic masters.
NICE VOCABULARY BRAINIAC
*BRIANIAC
^^ARF!
Not fussed by them either, but they're kind of hard to dislike. They fact that they at least try to do 'it' their way and that they're grinding albums out at a rate of knots means they deserve a bit of kudos, at least.
Joe - www.anewbandaday.com
they're a good band
not my thing, but I can't do anything but respect them... and I must admit, I do enjoy them when they come on the jukebox.
Well
There are a few bands who get countless plaudits from the NME that I think are actually really, genuinely, very good indeed. And this is one.
Alex Turner is a clever sod.
They're the glorified Babyshambles
Alex Turner could curdle milk with that voice, FAK OFF.
^ you might want to flip that
