Everybody seems to be talking about these guys lately. I haven't even heard one song till now.
I did hear a story though, that they didn't recognize David Bowie who was sitting at their reserved table, and they asked him to leave. They did apologize later, of course, but think about that... Not knowing who Bowie is?  |

I like them, Exile, (for what it's worth). They're just a bunch of young kids from Sheffield that went to school together, and thgeir music is a lot better than any new English bands in recent years imho...When they played a venue in their hometown a few months ago, the tickets that had a face value of 7£ were being resold by touts for 400£, that's the impact they have had, at least here in England. I even played with the idea of driving to Blackpool to queue and buy 4 tickets and take my daughter (12) and some of her friends to their upcoming gig, but in the end work commitments sadly stopped me from doing so, I may yet try and bid for some on ebay, though....They specifically sell a max 4 tickets at the box office only, no internet, no Ticketbastard, to ensure their fans can see them if they make the effort of walking to the box office in time.
Apart from liking their raw unpolished music (and the singer has a funny Yorkshire accent), I find it refreshingly nice that they still have this attitude "it's all about the music!".They are still devoid of egomania and have repeatedly given the fingers up sign to large corporations and all sorts of companies seeking to sponsor them, they still have ideals and are lightyears away from the world of megabucks corporate Rock'n Roll , EXACTLY like the Rolling Stones, right???!!! (hysterical laughter...) |

They are good!! No question of that.
Great energy, loud guitars and excellent, sharp, witty lyrics.
It's not for everyone as he sings in a very Northern England, Yorkshire accent. That's where I'm from so it's mint as far as I'm concerned but be warned!
They're also quite funny -
"Now I'd like to tell you my problem,
You're not from New York City, You're from Rotherham!"
"Well they might wear classic Reeboks
Or knackered Converse
Or tracky bottoms tucked in socks
But all of that's what the point is not
The point's that there isn’t no romance around there"
Just buy it...

I really dislike them. They are not original at all in fact the only difference between the arctic monkeys and any other band is that they sing with a northern accent.
Over rated shite!

They've been hyped to death and according to reports, Alex Turner and co are a little wary of this. Just ignore the hype, pick up their album and enjoy. I'm sure that’s what they'd want. They are a good solid rock ‘n’ roll band. I honestly don't remember being more excited about a song before I heard I Bet You Look Good On The Dance Floor. |

I thought they were somewhat original when I first heard them, but a couple of weeks in, I'm already bored. DOWNLOAD, don't buy! |

I thought the SNL performance sounded like junior high garage band stuff but I will give the album another try.

I've downloaded a few of their songs and saw them om several late night television programs and am quite unimpressed. They don't have it quite together and just come across as "high school garage band" as some have noted. Maybe I just need to hear more of their songs, but so far is just seems like hype. |

Artic Monkey's are OK. I don't hate them or anything. I don't love them either. I'm taking a wait and see with them. I'm gonna have to see how they evolve.
I like the sense of humor.
