arctic monkeys, your views

[-:Undertaker:-]

i find them really dull and boring. your thoughts? i don't honestly see how they are so popular. :S

I used to think that, I mean like when they were at the height of their popularity I wasnt keen then when everyone was going mental over them. I start listening like properly a few months ago and I love them - I can understand why people find them dull but hmm I don't know, they tend to grow on you. Listen to 505, Crying Lightening & Sketchead (some of their best I think)

third album is the best, more mature than the rest. even though his drumming is good, i don't think that makes the band much better as a whole. Slipknot's drummer is immense. (not that slipknot is really a favorite of mine)

i don't see how you "can't see why they're popular" though. and obviously the third album is gonna be more mature; they're adults now whereas they wrote the first album when they were just kids really.

when i mean mature, i mean it has a mature sound. for example, blink-182 and green day were/are particularly old when they released their newest albums and the sound isn't exactly more mature.

their first album is great, second album is pretty good, i havent really gotten into their third album but its by no means bad.

oh and the drummer from battles > all.

I feel kind of guilty because I wrote them off from the beginning as a "The" band purely because I didn't want to jump on the bandwagon when everyone else loved them and I thought they seemed a bit arrogant anyway. But I do think their music is pretty good, especially lyrically so they're starting to grow on me a little bit

[untrustus]

... but they're not even a "the" band

[Black_Apalachi]

Well they are, but OK.

[samsaBEAR]

well they're not a the band

[Black_Apalachi]

They are The Arctic Monkeys. I'm not having an argument about this.
