It wont flop because it's the fucking Arctic Monkeys and their past two albums have sold 200k+ copies on the first week. It might not go on to sell as much as their first two, but that's like saying Be Here Now was a flop isn't it? Plus you've only heard one tune as well, so who are you to say it will flop? Cos ten people on an Oasis forum don't like it? I'm about to smash my computer screen after hearing that. ALBUM SALES MEAN NOTHING. How many bought X+Y and VLV from Coldplay yet to be dissapointed? AND THE BACK-FUCKING-STREET BOYS SOLD OVER 100MILLION ALBUMS, ALMOST DOUBLE THAN OASIS, DOES THAT MAKE THAT BOY BAND BETTER THAN OASIS? FUCK NO IT DOES NOT. HELL, EVEN BHN SOLD A SHIT LOAD BUT WOULD MOST OF US CALL IT BETTER THAN DM? NO!!!!!!!!!!! JESUS CHRIST THE ALBUM SALE DEBATE MAKES ME SO FUCKING ANGRY YOU NAIVE FUCKERS......JUST BC AN ALBUM SELLS WELL DOES NOT MAKE IT AUTOMATICALLY GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He said "flop" and if you weren't a dumb shit you'd realize that refers to sales. You're right, sales has nothing to do with quality, but I didn't fucking say that now did I? And, for the record, I liked X&Y so you can go and shove a tampon up your bleeding, fucking cuunt and call it day.

I shoved a tampon up my bleeding, fucking cuunt earlier today and called it a day when I did, what should I do now? Arctic Monkeys have nothing on any other current band today other than superior lyrics. I've said this since 2006, and I'll continue to say it - if Kooks and AM teamed up, it would be the perfect band: The Kooks' lyrics suck and they write about the same damn thing all the time but they have the sound, the AM's sound sucks but they have damn good lyrics. But separated? Those 2 bands are incredibly mediocre.

Live4ever. You say album sales mean nothing but you still look at the charts when you want to say something as dumb as "HC was shite but it was still better than 99.9% of the stuff out there". You even feel good saying "Oasis did break the US market, look at DOYS going top 5". That's called double-standards if you ask me.
Music isn't in the charts. It's been like that for a very long time. Time you expand your musical horizons.

You hit the nail on the head. It's funny to see how many people on here hate this band. They'll claim they only like the first album. And they will only like the hit songs (like casual Oasis fans). A band like the Arctic Monkeys tries so hard to not sell out and make solid music. They are working class musicians with a passion just as strong as Oasis, Kasabian, etc.... I mean Alex Turner has literally written 4 albums in 4 years (Whatever People Say I am That's What I'm Not, Favourite Worst Nightmare, The Age of the Understatement, and Humbug)!!!!! Talk about a prolific writer.... What passion? Please show me the passion you speak of? they are just another mediocre indie band pretending to be something more because they have the press on their side. What press do you speak of??? Seeing as you don't like the band, you wouldn't know that the Arctic Monkeys became famous for their live shows and their online exposure via myspace and downloads. It wasn't until everyone was listening to them that the press came in and blew everything out of proportion. This press you speak of has burnt out years ago. I think you might be confusing the press with fans....

The AM's is a prime example of your fucking idiotic British press hyping the shit out of mediocre things. That's the one thing America has that's better than the British - a respectable press. Don't Believe the Truth? Noel should have been more blunt and called the album "Don't Believe the Fucking British Press, Those vaginas" you've got to be kidding. yes they hype the shit over a few bands but at least they sometimes hype bands that are alright. in the us their just as bad or worse .. would you rather kings of leon hyped or jonas brothers. and in the case of oasis , the american press has literally held a grudge against the band for events that occured more than 10 years ago. so to sum up: fuck off. press tends to be bad everywhere when it comes to bandwagon jumping.

So far I really like Cornerstone and Crying Lightning. The rest are kind of average..... Can't wait to hear the rest.

So the whole album has been leaked now.
I've listened through the album 3 times through and I'm disappointed. I mean I feel like we only got a few good songs out of it. Cornerstone, Secret Door, Crying Lightning, and The Fire and The Thud are my favorites in that order. The rest are forgettable..... I don't want the Arctic Monkeys to get praised for a mediocre album this time around. Cause I feel they could do better. They should start by getting a new producer though. Josh Homme's influence on this album is really bugging me. Also, stop with all the dark music!!!! I was hoping for an album like Favorite Worst Nightmare with a few WPSIATWIN like songs. Guess I'll have to wait a while for that though...

Humbug? That's what people will be saying after they hear this pile of shit.
"Bah Humbug, I got the new Arctic Monkeys album and it's just more hyped up pish"

Ive listened through 4 times now. Cornerstones alright. Crying lightnings alright. The end of my propeller is alright. Pretty visitors is alright. Fire and the thud is alright. I feel really really disappointed. I love the arctic monkeys and i thought whatever they brought out id think it was alright and that at least i might get one or two tracks that i really really like and wanna play over and over again. But there isnt. If this album never happened i wouldnt have minded - it just feels indifferent as if theres more drive to try and be experimental than actually making the music theyre good at making. Its left me really cold and pretty much ruined my day.

Jesus christ this album lacks conviction, passion, emotion, and anything good. This is the worst album/most disappointing of the year. But look at that - the media (the few that have already reviewed the album) have gave it good remarks. What a surprise. Fuck off, this album is utter shit. Favorite Worst Nightmare: 8/10 Whatever....:6.5/10 Humbug:....5/10 (UTTER FUCKING SHIT) I mean just listen to the vocals - it's dull as fuck. I want to punch Alex Turner on every track, it's that bad. He sounds so bored singing. And the music is just as dull. What a pointless album. This is horrible. The Twang release a lively, catchy album and it gets bad marks. Arctic Monkeys release this drivel and it gets good marks. Fuck that D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S A-N-I-M-A-L.....WHAT THE FUCKING HELL IS THIS? YOU CALL THIS A GOOD SONG?

after two great albums I'd say AM has made its average third album. Maybe it'll sink in after a few more listens but right now its easily the most disappointing album that I've heard this year. If you're looking for the rush like a The View From The Afternoon or a gloriously catchy single like Fluorescent Adolescent you won't find it on here. But AM have proved that they can change styles but in this release it seems they've forgotten what makes them special.

The fucking Enemy album is better than this crap. This is the worst mainstream album i've heard all year.
I want to cut my ears off after hearing this. Not one track is memorable. Reminds me of the utter failing of Bloc Party's 3rd album....what the hell is Alex Turner thinking? How can anyone think any of these 'tunes' are decent let alone good.

Amazing to think this is the same band who wrote Mardy Bum. Not the greatest album ever, but not a pile of shit like our local idiot is trying to pass it off as. Stand out tracks, on first listen, are Cornerstone and Secret Door.
