^I dont love the Arctic Monkys sooo much, Personally I find them a bit overrated, sorry. But I dont think, compared to the first album, its very good, it actually turned me off them. The first album was pretty awesome!!

I think the first album was more consistent. Great all the way through. Nightmare has a few dud spots in it around some brilliant songs (505, Flourescent, etc.) SO I am hoping for some more consistency from the 3rd album.

By the way, have you heard the Last Shadow Puppets and The Rascals? Similar sound to AM, I like them too!

Open, Politik · 21-05-2009, 11:48 AM

^Yeah ive heared the first single, not the album though.

tauiwi · 21-05-2009, 11:53 AM

Both very good! You might like!

I like The Last Shadow Puppets!

But only live!

Only live???

parachutes_ · 21-05-2009, 01:29 PM

Weird I know.
They have made an video when they play the album live (found it on youtube) and I absolutly love that.. but then I listend to the album and I didn't like it as much..

NEW ALBUM OUT BEFORE END OF AUGUST AND WILL HAVE BLACK SABBATH SOUND!!

sorry for the caps but i am insanely excited about this album. there's only one other band (pearl jam) whose first 3 albums i have loved. i'm hoping to add AM to that list. so my expectations are incredibly high so i think i need to embrace myself to be potentially dissapointed......

You're judging live off a youtube video?

I saw TLSP with a full orchestra live at Leeds and my god it was amazing, the hairs on my neck were standing up at certain points, so glad I saw them.

TechnicolorGreenEyes · 21-05-2009, 06:29 PM

Also I've known it was end of august for a while and that it was gunna be darker/heaver Josh Homme is producing it

I can't wait either, the first album seems like a fond distant memory now compared to the band they have become. That's a good thing though

parachutes_ · 21-05-2009, 06:33 PM

yeah, i realised now that sounded wrong..

what i meant with "live"was "not the album-version".

sorry.

tauiwi · 22-05-2009, 11:53 AM

Darker/Heavier................Joy Division? White Lies?

deaths_friend · 22-05-2009, 02:28 PM

^^

are you saying that they will sound like those two bands. or those band's last/latest albums are their heaviest??

i have never quite understood why the arctic monkeys have struggled to enjoy any sort of chart success outside of the Uk and Europe. down here in aus they are basically unknown outside of the alternative scene. i can't imagine a band being more commerically viable than the arctic monkeys. decent lookin fellows, catchy tunes, not too heavy not too slow countless potential hits. where has it gone wrong for them?

i know that my countrymen/women will start saying "well nooo they played second last at BDO and their albums always go to number". first it hardly takes 10 000 sales to get to the top of the charts here and secondly only 3 of their songs have made the top 100 charts.

something is wrong!! is their record label asleep?

tauiwi · 22-05-2009, 02:36 PM

Nah I am just saying this seems to be a common direction of bands these days.

I think they are well known here in oz, the albums sell well enough. I dont think it is realistic to expect any Alternative British Music to 'chart' over here because the people who buy pop-singles online after listening to them on fox fm are idots and have a narrow view of the music the world provides. It's not the record label's fault, its just the changing tastes and preferences of Australian music listeners.

Damn you for half predicting my answer!!

deaths_friend · 22-05-2009, 02:39 PM

i'm very interested to see how Muse's and AM's forthcoming albums fare down here. hopefully i love the albums and everyone else hates them and its easy to get tickets to the gigs. but in this day and age especially in sydney its impossible.
