Can you get a more dull and pointless song than My Propeller this year please let me know.
Again, my favorite song off this album is Dance Little Liar, but that's no more than an 8/10! It starts off just as dull but the rest of the song builds well enough.
But while My Propeller is dull as fuck, can you get a worse song as Dangerous Animals. Fuck, Ain't Got Nothing is better than that shit.....Nature of a Reality, though, is another story....but that's not say much considering how shit TNOR is! It is a close call, mind you, "D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S A-N-I-M-A-L"....thanks Tuern, I didn't know how to spell "Dangerous" or "Animal" until your song came around. Plus it sounds like utter shit and has no point what so ever.
My suspicion is that Alex Turner realized how successful Last Shadow Puppets was and tried to emulate it with Arctic Monkeys - has that same style - but ended up failing.
I'm annoyed they released a bad album cos I like them well enough to wish to hear good music from them - I thought FWN was great, although their debut I still hold the belief is that it's well over rated.
But what pisses me off the most is that the critics love this album. Look on this forum itself - a lot on here like AMs, and yet this album is getting the shit ripped out of it.
I will tell you this much - I know these bands are incomparable because of their style but DOYS is better than Humbug.....fuck even the Twang, as hated as they are, are better than this shit.
Humbug lacks passion and conviction, and melody......
I'm highly outspoken here, not because of it being the Arctic Monkeys, but rather because of the clear media bias.
A vibrant, passionate, lyrically solid, and catchy Twang album over this dull album any day. Yet the Twang have reviews consistently as low as 1.5/5 and 3/10 while this Arctic Monkeys album has reviews consistently in the range of 4/5? Tell me that isn't fucked up.
You may hate the Twang but no way in hell does their album deserve reviews as low as that. And you may love the Arctic Monkeys but in no way can you say this album deserves such high praise. And no matter what you think of either band, surely you can't possibly say the Arctic Monkey's Humbug is superior to the Twang's Jewellery Quarter.
Fuck the press. Fuck the naysayers. The Twang has released the MAINSTREAM album of the year with U2 and Arctic Monkeys sharing the most disappointing release of 2009.
Sometimes I wish I could punch every ignorant journalist in the face. - Don't get me wrong, it's ok to hate an album I like, but the reviews for the twang and the 'monkeys are clearly based on previous expectations and pre-dispositions and if you refuse that either way you're just as delusional as said critics.

I'd like to hear NL4E's opinion on the album. He's been unusually quiet on the subject.

I'd like to hear NL4E's opinion on the album. He's been unusually quiet on the subject. Haha. Love the sarcasm. But it just seriously pisses me off how bias reviews are from the press. It's all about playing the proper game, sucking up the press, and being their darling. Look, if Oasis sucked up to the media I'm still sure BHN and HC would have gotten panned (HC would hav edserved it, mind). But the other albums post BHN would have been seen in a better light. Arctic Monkeys, Coldplay, and even U2 can't do any wrong no matter they release. Yet The Twang, and to a (now - it's improved from DBTT to DOYS, mind) Oasis they have decided to dislike the album before they even gave it a chance. One more time - I can understand criticism of Weezer's new album, The Enemy's new album, etc - both of which I like well enough but understand the flaws....but to criticize The Twang's new album? HOW? What the fuck is wrong with that album? And then praise Arctic Monkeys? HOW? What the fuck is good about that album. Maybe I'm the delusional one and the critics are right....but judging by the reception of both albums on here, on itunes, and other places where the general public speak their mind that's not the case..... I'm sick of the press being bias when it comes to reviews. WTF.

Come on... that makes no sense at all. the monkeys had the fastest selling debut album ever and mass critical acclaim for their first 2 albums. The Last Shadow Puppets never reached anything like those heights. In what way were they even remotely successful compared to the Arctic Monkeys? Get a grip... The style of the new album is an obvious progression from FWN, it doesn't take a genius to work that out. Besides... it's not a bad album, sure you don't like the style and would rather listen to The Twang, but The Arctic Monkeys are musically superior by far and will always be.

IT'S CALLED PERSONAL TASTE?! STATEMENTS LIKE "HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY SAY THE ARCTIC MONKEYS ALBUM IS BETTER THAN THE TWANG" IS RETARDED IN THE HIGHEST SENSE. WE ALL HAVE DIFFERENT MUSICAL PREFERENCES. You're just going on and fucking on about The Twang and repeating yourself about this album. We get it, you don't like this album and the critics have hurt your precious feelings about the Twang album. Just please shut up.

I love the Arctics...their first two albums are utterly brilliant and I don't get bored of them at all....
...but the new one...is fucking terrible, there isn't ONE stand out song that I can actually remember when thinking back, and I've been listening to it for over a week now. Gutted as fuck.

i dunno why people keep blaming the shadow puppets on this. this sounds nothing like that album. that album had sweeping melodies and strings and was good. that's also key. some of these new songs just annoy me

I'm just gonna declare myself an outcast here and say that I actually like it. I don't see it as too different from the last album, just slower and "darker". There's a bit of weirdness, but I like Blur for the same reason. I think there's some good melodies there too. I'll buy it, anyway.

The only good songs IMO are Crying Lightning, Secret Door and the end of My Propeller is quite good, but the rest is either average or shit; if you listen to their first album you can find tunes like Mardy Bum or When The Sun Goes Down, in the second one Fluorescent Adolescent, Do Me A favour...but in Humbug there isn't a song that is really a stand-out track And I'm beginning to hate Turner's voice, he sounds like a ten years old kid trying to be a dark guy, and, obviously, he fails again and again

I've realized now that this album isn't bad. I've realized that the Arctic Monkeys are going in a different direction with the "Darker" sound. All I wanted to hear was new stuff that sounded like it could be on the first two albums. So what I'm saying is that it's the style that people aren't liking. My favorite songs on here are the upbeat ones.

I think Humbug is shit, there is not one standout song on there for me, I love the first two records, those we're brilliant. But this... I listend it 4 times to be sure, but it didn't change my judgement..

Shit album by overrated and mediocre musicians. Most people won't agree with me but there is not one AM song that people will remember in 10 years. It's funny how they have the arrogance to think that they are in any position to criticize other bands, regardless of how bad those bands may be.

We are talking of one of those band who are supposed to be Amazing ? Wtf... A myspace band for sure, can do better than this shit. This album means nothing on me, just a rock music on a shuffle playlist...
Boring ! Boring ! Boring !
This band is supposed to be great... Supposed to be the rock sound of the 00's... Damn... Hopefully Kasabian and Sfa are here... For me the latest real deals for the 00's.

Kasabian's new album > Arctic Monkeys new Album
but overall AM's first two records are better than Kasabian and i don't really mind Empire. Humbug hasn't grown on me after ten listens I'll give it a rest and maybe come back to it. Still though Doves have the best album of the year for me so far. Utter brilliant band.
