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. that's right ! Doves new album is fuking incredible. Have a listenning on the James Lavelle Global Underground Bangkok 37 mix. Jetstream is perfect inside, so beautiful... But for me, West Ryder still the best album of the year. And I'm talking about "album", this kind of term who was lost since a long time... An album with a story and where every track got his place in the tracklisting. Fire is the anthem of the year whatever if you like kasabian or not...

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. The Arctic Monkeys were a myspace band dumbass. That is partially how they became famous. Also, the Arctic Monkeys first two albums shit on anything Kasabian or The Twang have done. That's why the Arctic Monkeys get the hype they deserve.

Are you saying that concept albums are the only way of making an "album"? What kind of dumbass thing is that to say? You can't have an "album" with songs that don't have a common thread? Fire anthem of the year like it or not? Who the f*** are you to say that? I'm sorry but you got to get your dick out of Kasabians ass....

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. Do you think maybe the Twang get shit reviews because they are shit and the Arctic Monkeys get good reviews because they are good? Nah, couldn't be.

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. 100% agree. What, is I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor going to be their Live Forever? Is Mardy Bum their Wonderwall? Like fuck they are. AMs will be forgotten about in a decade.

Well that'll be a decade longer than The Twang then

'When the sun goes down' and 'a certain romance' are fucking classics, and if you cant see that, then we have very divergent opinions on music.

Actually nearly every song on the AMs first album is classic. For those who didn't know it was the fastest selling debut album in british history passing up Oasis's Definitely Maybe. I don't know if the record still stands, though. And I think that says something for the 21 century, when albums are being illegally downloaded frequently. Btw NL4E, I read your comments from 2006 and you said they would be forgotten in 3 years. Quit predicting what you constantly get wrong.

Spirit - Leona Lewis is the fastest selling debut of all time not WEPSIATWIN

'When the sun goes down' and 'a certain romance' are fucking classics, and if you cant see that, then we have very divergent opinions on music. As good as said songs are, and they are good, they are no way in hell equivalent to any Oasis classic. Nor any Beatles. Nor better than the hits from Nirvana. Nor better than U2's successful songs. You see, the whole point you're missing is that every band's fan thinks they have great songs that will stand the test of time. I'm sure Kaiser Chiefs' fans think they're music is as good as Live Forever. Bollocks DLBIA, WW, etc etc etc were generation defining tunes. The AMs have not defined a generation, they don't mean anything culturally, and all they will go down as is a solid band who thought they should have been something more. One last time - almost every single monumental band meant something significantly cultural to at least one country or major section of a population. This includes Oasis. AMs have no right on that list.

If you'll get 200,000 over 3 nights singing "When the Sun Goes Down" at 1 massive gig in 2020, I will eat my words. But it won't happen. You can't even get that crowd now passionately singing that song. Fuck off you delusional fucks.

One last time - almost every single monumental band meant something significantly cultural to at least one country or major section of a population. This includes Oasis. AMs have no right on that list. I'm fairly new to this board and am truly experiencing for the first time your infamous complete and utter retardness. Why exactly do the Arctic Monkeys NEED to be 'generation-defining' and why on earth do you keep constantly comparing all their songs to Oasis songs? At no point did the AM's publicly declare they WANTED to be the defining band of the generation, they just produced a fucking good album and continue to do so. The fact that you think every song needs to be a massive anthem and the fact that you think that every song must be judged against DLBIA and WW shows just how narrow your musical opinion is. How about you stop constantly comparing bands to other bands? And perhaps...listen for enjoyment? Whether you like it or not, the Arctic Monkeys are a big band atm and whilst you may not believe they have "defined a generation" (what a cheesy line btw) I think 80,000 or so people at Glastonbury singing their songs shows that they are culturally significant. Also, in the same way that you say the "whole point you're missing is that every band's fan thinks they have great songs that will stand the test of time. I'm sure Kaiser Chiefs' fans think they're music is as good as Live Forever. Bollocks"....have you ever considered that you are also a fan that thinks his band has the greatest songs ever. What makes YOU more right than said Kaiser Chiefs/AM fans? What gives you the deciding opinion? Not everything must be compared to Live Forever etc. and Oasis is not the benchmark for all music. Much like your own statement, you are just a deluded fan who think that Oasis have the greatest music ever but I'm afraid your opinion is not the be-all-and-end-all. Grow up and open your eyes.

You can't even get that crowd now passionately singing that song. Fuck off you delusional fucks. I, unlike you, have been to an AM gig. In Australia where they are not particularly huge, probably a following similar to Oasis, give or take. When they played When The Sun Goes Down they actually stopped because the crowd was drowning out the band. A reception which which far outweighed that given to Live Forever at the same venue a couple of years earlier.

Been giving the album a listen this last few days and I honestly can't believe how bad it is! I honestly can't see there being many more Arctic monkeys albums after this!
