What's depressing about this album is that, although they are the most original of the long line of 'next-big-things', there is nothing to suggest that my children will be asking me to dig this album out of my CD collection when i'm 50. Like the rest of the music scene at the minute, the Arctic Monkeys are a here-and-now band without the credentials to stand the test of time. At least we hope not... For this band to stand the test of time, times would have to stand still. This is an Album by a Band living in times that will have no significance in years to come. They are the best of a bad lot. These days, to discover a band that my chidren will be asking for in 50 years time, you have to dig under the surface of the hand-fed music scene. There you will find music that isn't motivated by money, distorted my mass-marketing and that will stand the test of time, and, who knows, may even be able to build a generation that we can look back on with pride and passion.

Average album by an average band living in increasingly average times.

I totally disagree but Nice review :) x

Adz1978 26.07.2007 18:07

I'd totally agree with you on that one.....they are an average band at a time when there is no real competition.....if it were Britpop days they would be elastica!! Seriously though I first heard this band about 3 years ago now on Zane Lowe radio 1 and followed them keanly since then........once all the hype started, i totally lost interest. But hey, they cant be that bad, they are playing old trafford cricket ground this weekend.
