Happy Face 29 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I think they're absolutely brilliant, most exciting band I've heard for a long time. 73338[/snapback] What's so 'exciting' about them like? I like them but they're just your standard 4-piece rock band playing pop aren't they? some clever Lyrics. It seems to me people are believing the hype. I'd say to be exciting you need to do something new, like Lightning Bolt or Antony and the Johnsons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, they're fresh, they've got brilliant lyrics and tunes, and there's a real (justified) buzz about them. They are starting to get the hype by the bandwagon merchants I agree, but I've known about them for a while now and they've always been this good.

Their record company should really pay off a few more journalists. As I said I really like The Arctic Monkeys, but The Rakes are just as good and their album wasn't pushed half as much. The hypefest that's gone on around them for over a year since I bet that you look good on the dancefloor has irked me. That's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But really arguing about music is a pointless exercise. For gods sake some people still think Oasis are a good band.

Matty 0 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 From nme.com Arctic Monkeys have celebrated their second UK Number One single in style with a hometown gig in Sheffield. The low-key gig at the Sheffield Leadmill (January 22) was the same evening the band found out their latest single 'When The Sun Goes Down' had gone straight to the top of the charts - their second successive Number One single. At the show, which also serves as a warm-up for their appearance on this week's ShockWaves NME Awards Tour, the band opened with both singles in succession. From the stage singer Alex Turner looked amazed as the crowd sang back every word to the first verse of 'When The Sun Goes Down' - something which then happened with every song. "I don't know if you know but we've got a CD coming out tomorrow," he smiled, before adding, "you've all fucking got it anyway!" in reference to the fact that the album leaked online earlier this month. As well as showcasing tracks from debut album 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not', the band also found time to debut one brand new song titled 'Leave Before The Lights Come On'. In the run-up to the show tickets for the gig were changing hands for hundreds of pounds, and many fans were left stranded outside, unable to get into the 800 capacity venue. At one point in the performance Turner asked for the doors to be opened so the people outside could hear the music. The gig, which was watched by the band's family and friends, ended with 'A Certain Romance', with Turner stage diving into the crowd. After the gig record stores in the city opened their doors at midnight to start selling copies of the album as soon as possible. I just got the album myself, and not suprisingly I think it's class!

Don 0 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I've had it for about a week now (even though it only came out today ). First impression's were that it was crap. After giving it a few more listens though i'm enjoying it more... From The Ritz To The Rubble been my fave on the album. I think the Hard-Fi album is better though.
