Title: Question for Arctic Monkeys fans....New Album?! Post by: Drain Alien on August 31, 2009, 01:28:23 PM Anyone else struggling to realy enjoy the new album? (Humbug).
Am I missing some gems? Admittedly, I have only had about 3~4 listens thus far..... Thoughts....? Title: Re: Question for Arctic Monkeys fans....New Album?! Post by: Pelham Boy on August 31, 2009, 01:34:27 PM Played it once, will probably never play it again. Utter shite imo.

I am glad the sound has evolved, would have been more disappointed if they had just knocked out another "simple" album. As ever the drumming stands out, that boy oooozes talent and is probably enough to get me to listen again. Title: Re: Question for Arctic Monkeys fans....New Album?!

Don't fancy Humbug too much, early doors tho, it still has time to grow on me. Title: Re: Question for Arctic Monkeys fans....New Album?!

Live in a smallish venue they may be pretty good, but in a festival setting (leeds 2006 and this year, and Glastonbury 07 ) they are poor. heard enough of the new album on Friday night at Leeds to know that my Arctic Monkeys file on the ipod can remain stuck at 'Whatever they say...'

Post by: Drain Alien on September 03, 2009, 12:38:31 AM Ok, so the new album is [surprisingly] growing on me.
Prob had 10+ listens so far. > Does that mean if u listen to ANY album enuff times you'll eventually like it? OMG - I might like Britney Farkin' Spears..........Jeez....! Anyway, on this album, Fave is track 7. Others. T3 (must be LOUD). T1 and T2 r getting better. T9 has fave lyric..........Wot comes first, the Chicken or the D1ck-head?

They were awful left half way through Predictable, I left before they kicked off and saw a surprisingly good Glasvegas set in a very surprisingly half-empty NME tent Title: Re: Question for Arctic Monkeys fans....New Album?! Post by: ACE2M on September 03, 2009, 12:32:40 PM it's growing on me, i like the current single quite a lot.
The drummer is the business. last album is really hard to top, 505 so so good. Title: Re: Question for Arctic Monkeys fans....New Album?!
