The first two tracks are belters...
..but I just can't get through track 3.
'Dangerous Animals' is a great track
Therefore bumping up your score to a preferred 8/10.
I only read the poorly rated reviews and you didn't disappoint.
Errr, and I have nothing else to add.
Arctic Monkeys are a marvel. Seriously.
They're promoting an album although I have not seen one single glimpse of them on TV or Radio interview or newspapers.
They tend to make albums, release them and then fuck off before they outstay their welcome.
Their records are solid enough to warrant the popularity.
They're probably the quintessential British band of the noughties. Although, this decade for British music has been a river of shit on a whole.
I'm still not going to buy a single of their records though, but well done to them.
The intro was just awesome. I was so happy.

Talking to people in the crowd at the front, hardly anyone had heard of Jane's Addiction, which made me feel pretty old. Not only was I going to a gig in London on my own and talking to strangers, but I'm also old now too.
Despite that horrific revelation, the band were amazing. It's just disappointing that I had to watch it with NIN fans.
The albums not really any good, probably a 5/10...
But this reviewer does sound as if he's increasingly jealous of youth.
I was there and I thought nothing of it at the time. Just shrugged and went to watch Aphex Twin instead.
I completely agree with that Lifeblood review. But the 9/10 is laughable. A solid 7/10.
Hmmm...
That second when the guitar changes key in the chorus is great, but other than that it makes me cry.
La Roux? Really?
Sounds like a hysterical sequenced twat with a microphone if you ask me.
In my eyes, it's always cool to like them...
...mainly as the majority of alternative culture hate them.
This album starts off very strong in the first track, but then half way through the opening track it stumbles and then it just continues to roll downhill like a landslide of shite until the end. Such a disappointment. I didn't expect anything great, but I hoped.
Saying that, I'll see them on tour again.
No.
You've missed The Fall, Earth, Boris, The Bug, Harvey Milk
And instead you've replaced them with shit that's already been thrown up at us repeatedly last year.
Btw, 'We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed' is the correct answer out of those two.
Hmmm....
MSP have only done two great albums 'The Holy Bible' and 'Everything Must Go'. All the others are average, but have the occasionally moment of varying hyperbole.
Jumping the gun?
You never know, this could be brilliant. They've had subtle flashes of brilliance here and there on every album since 1996. If this were all condensed I think they could pull it off.
And to anyone sound 'desperation'. 'Send Away The Tigers' sold strongly to good response publically and critically (except DiS, who I think we're still reeling the "brilliance" of the second Bloc Party album to even consider dropping the bias).
The main issue with the last album was with the lyrics. With this potentially improved, you never know...
'Wonderful' Late of the Pier
Oh you guys are such jokers.
No Ritchie Hawtin?
Think about what you've done.
Better line-up than last year
Burial MUST win it.
Instead of saying 'physical versions'
Can we say 'physical releases'?
After Adam and Joe, this makes me chuckle every time.
Thanks.
Strangely I heard this on Moyles while in my sleeping stupor
...and it was such a warm welcome amongst the shit stream that is Radio 1 daytime, the song seemed like the greatest thing ever.
It's not bad.
Evidently...
...they appear to be better businessmen than musicians.
The only band to pull off a stadium performance to its full potential...
...is U2, for me anyway. Everyone else was a band in an air craft hanger, but U2 filled the fucker in every aspect.
'Peace out.'
Fuck off.
I don't like them
...and I haven't confused them with Scouting For Girls. But then again, I have that original theory that if you don't like something, don't listen to them so this news doesn't really bother me.
Ok, I'm wasting my time now.
I like how...
...you've managed to demean the two day Wembley event of the Foo Fighters spectacularly in just one article! :)
I do support this...
...the Daily Mail needs more dissent directed towards it publically in this manner, but I can't help but imagine that a group of emos hanging around Marble Arch is just a glorified Saturday afternoon in Market Square.
The Radioheads
I'm going to use that name from now on.
As people, Late of the Pier annoy me...
...so I find it difficult to comment on the music honestly.
Are Black Kids this year's CSS?
They're everywhere!
The only reviews I read are the bad ones
I dwell in deprication.
That's a shame
Because of course, we all had such high hopes.
And this again proves...
...that Coldplay and U2 are largely incomparable.
I'm not going but I really really wanted this to be good.
I love Glastonbury, it always has the best vibe of the more mainstream festivals and after hearing its ticket troubles, I prayed the line-up was going to blow us all away with something new (Jay-Z and Cohen were a great start), but alas, no it's predictable garbage.
I just hope they learn a lesson after all of this and 2009 will be a major event.
Hoosiers? £18.50?? Arena??
Am I seeing these words in this article or am I just experiencing a horrible headfuck?
'Deluxe'
You just reminded me of how glorious an end that was! Roll on Supersonic!
That second album...
Take your time lads, take your time.

Oh Gliss do actually exist.
I thought they were a nightmare when I saw them.
