Looking forward to this! I saw them last friday, and oh boy they have become so so good!

Odd that r u mine is on there, but it fits with do i wanna know perfectly. This is in the running for best 1-2 start of any album ever. I just wish it was out for summer.

No one has a problem with the first two songs having the same riff?

if that was a last shadow puppet's show, i'd be all for it, but fuck that. i love these lads, but they're a little too young to be reworking their big songs. anyway, i've seen the band all 4 times they've come to this shit ass state, and they've not done mardy bum in any form once.

as a side note, the first time i saw pearl jam was in 1995. they played a reworked version of jeremy. i was thrilled to be at a pj show, but it still annoyed me a bit.

not really, theyre so badass...

i feel i should like these guys more. Saw them live two times and they even played a nick cave cover...

Alex is a fuckin popstar right now.

what do you think of that one, bain?

maybe i'll like it more in the context of the album, but that just feels like it was better left as a b-side. i don't get how a song like the bakery doesn't make an album and mad sounds does.

Sounds a little like a poor man's "Dollar Bill" by Screaming Trees.

As much as I enjoy Arctic Monkeys, I can't help but feel they are a bit over hyped. Still. That first record was a cracker and Alex is a sensational lyricist but the actual songs don't seem to really go anywhere. It's all the one dynamic and stop start parts. It definitely feels like a band with diminishing returns.

I think that the band are way better now, they're getting better as time passes...

Really believe that they're one of the best bands around right now.

As for Mad Sounds, it's my least fav of the 3, BUT, i agree, it'll sound way better on the album...

They feel more accomplished as musicians but I'm not sure that always translates into a better experience.

spinning their b-sides/non-album stuff, really good stuff...
