New Arctic Monkeys album

Tommy B · 12 Apr 2007 at 11:01

Just got an email from Domino to say they've dispatched the LP I preordered a few months back.

I hope this is good, but having heard a few of the songs, it doesn't sound that great. Although when I first heard the Kings Of Leon album I didn't like it and now I think it's awesome.

i've not heard much of their new stuf... only heard Brian... my girlfriend likes Brainstorm quite a lot though, although i havnt listened too it..

KoL album rules!

mate loves them , just got it and hates it, i cant comment though (pointless post really)

Needs a good few listens to get into I think. Not as good initially as the first I think as there's so many bands out there that are similar now so doesn't sound very new and fresh like the first was. Still good mind

It's different, takes a few listens, but I like it.

Fluorescent Adolescent is my personal fave

I think 505, Old yellow bricks and Brianstorm are great. As people are saying, it took a few listens to get into tho.

Took me a couple of repeats of their album to get into it as well. Love it now though.

I'm, going to see them on Saturday

ive heard a few tracks, it didnt sound as good as their first :/

Bakedgoods · 13 Apr 2007 at 12:15

It was never going to be quite as good as the first, but they've shown some progression which is good. Some of the tunes are really growing on me though, pretty sure The Bad Thing will be well received, excluding the obvious Brianstorm.

Favourite tracks from the album right now...

Teddy Picker
The Bad Thing
Fluorescent Adolescent

That damn Vinyl didn't come in the post today.

What is it with these companies keeping people waiting! :mad:

lazy postmen and not wanting to carry big vinyls to be honest

Begbie · 13 Apr 2007 at 14:03

Not as good as there first album, although still good. Brianstorm for the win at the moment, although I have a different fav from there old album every week.

Either that or they're playing Swingball vs Citylink with it again.

The last 7" Vinyl I ordered came snapped.

its fri the 13th so chances are they've finished there shift and are now playing Frisbee with it on the field behind the mail depo

if it survives MC postman pat will be scratching the hell out of it on the wheels of steel

Just had this on in background whilst playing C+C, didnt seem to like it, but put it straight on again, usually what i do when first get new album, and i am enjoying it a lot more. Definitely a grower.

Fubsy · 13 Apr 2007 at 22:02

I really like "Only One Who Knows", no idea why, it's not exactly an AM's sort of song : / pretty slow...

Nothing would surprise me with Royal Mail.

And writing "fragile" on something really is just asking for it.

Im liking it so far, heard about 5 or 6 songs on random and liked everyone, still got others to go. Brainstorm is a tune!
