Who The Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys? EP
Having heard all four new tunes and memorised 'em (not downloaded 'em - that's illegal), I think it's fair to say Alex and the boys won't be heading down the dumper any time soon. As much as some of you would like them to.
Pick of the bunch is obviously the epic title track. With references to Christopher Columbus and playdoh it could hardly fail to impress a pop lover like me.
Key line - 'Tell 'em to take out their tongues and bring on the backlash!'
Despair In The Departure Lounge is me next favourite. Love the line about Rodney and Del and the reference to Del falling through the bar. Will mean fuck all to you average American, but still. Pop genius.
No Buses and Cigarette Smoker Fiona are less obviously brilliant, but still quality tunes. You can tell Alex Turner means it. That's the difference.
