I've been hearing a lot, A LOT, of hype about this band. The song thats on KROQ is pretty good, I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor, but is the album good? I'd like to know if its worth a listen...

Never heard of them, I'll do a little research and see if I cant illegally download the music. If I like it enough, Ill buy it.

They're the biggest thing going in the UK at the mo. More popular than...air. I see you guys have the luxury of James Blunt at the mo too, joy.

Arctic Monkeys > All
I Bet You Look Good on the Dance Floor is a great song. Other highlights are From the Ritz to the Rubble and A Certain Romance.

Yeah they're amazing.
Fastest selling debut album of all time, and the little fuckers are only 19.

Rhapsody says in the UK.
I like this band, I'll be checking out the rest of the album throughout the night.

Fastest selling debut in the UK. I'm pretty picky but I think the album is fucking great. If you can, download some live videos or mp3s. There are some on their official message board and I say they're a little better than the studio versions.

yeah its not very deep rock, or challenging musically.
it's fresh though, I like it.
I dunno about best band ever, but then again I'm not from scotland.
wink
oh yeah you can go get the morning becomes eclectic podcast they have a set on there recently.
the thing that most surprised me was they didn't learn to play untill 2 years ago.
that probably says a lot about how fresh they sound, but always why their music isn't that challenging .
and they are really only 19? I guess that says a lot about why they didn't learn to play untill two years ago.

They were on SNL last night. Looked pretty good.
I don't think they are the best band ever, but it is good pop-alternative. I'm sure radio will overplay the fuck out if them though.

it has some good stuff and some crappy stuff, to me it is an ok album
not so amazing it blows everyone away in it's greatness but still good enough to listen to with minimal skipped songs.

I think the album is good too but OVERHYPE!!! They sound just like the Storkes or any of the other pop-rock-indie bands. Its still good but I thought I was going to hear something totally new...

Regina Spektor, The Futureheads, Architecture In Helskini, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and Maximo Park.
They're not "totally new" musical wise, but I think they're pretty different/original.

i read pitchfork, its a great site for the news alone, and although I don't agree with them so much on everything, I still get a lot of good music through their reccomendations
pitchfork seems to employ a bandwagon mentality to all rock. they hop on before anyone else, often resulting in an overhype. Then they ditch them like yesterdays news just because everyone else just discovered them.
if you can manage to see past this stuff it's a great site to use for music.
