I prefer the old monkeys, no doubt they r still great..but srsly. nothing will ever beat hits like brianstorm, fluorescent adolescent or when the sun goes down! alex looks like some kind of british elvis, now :/
@RRsuchtdenSupeRRstar I think they're pretty average songs. 'Don't Sit Down...', 'Crying Lightning', 'Black Treacle' and 'Dance Little Liar' to name a few from the past two albums are a lot better, I reckon.
My favourite Arctic Monkeys song by far, it's hauntingly beautiful. As for people disagreeing with them choosing different styles, it is when a band tries to do the same thing every album they become boring and uninteresting.
ps. can somebody share his own interpretation of the lyrics? I'm very curious because I believe that every single AM's song has its own hidden meaning :)
Fuck off Sirius Satellite Radio for taking away BBC Radio 1...and replacing it with a disco channel! I don't have to deal with Sirius anymore; there's Slacker and my iTunes library, which probably has more music added (3-6 albums a month) than any Sirius station.
I can't understand why Humbug got such average press. It was such a vast improvement on their first two records, and those were brilliant albums to start with.
@fuzzmaniac what the hell are you talking about, Humbug had the best reviews, scratch that, critical acclaim from all the top critics with everyone praising the new sound (me being one of the critics who gave them a good review). You'll notice that the critics that gave them the "average" reviews are all of the "pop rock" magazines like NME who dont care for "Artistic Rock". Humbug was a work of art and their most accomplished album because they were not afraid to experiment.
@MegaMungojerry that is actually acceptable grammar and there are many different english dialects (American, Australian, Canadian, Jamaican, and British).
A lot of people don't like Humbug because of the harder rock sound which probably is related to having Homme produce it. But I love it and think it's one of their best
Well the first Monkeys album i had was Humbug and i prefer it to there previous records even a few months after purchasing them, it's just so cool. Suck it and See will come close i think. There b-side to 'Don't sit down...' is epic, it's called 'The blond-o-sonic simmer trap'.
I think I liked the Monkeys better when they where more into punk stuff but this evolution is tottaly inteesting and worth listening, though they're getting a little mainstream.... that was to be expected
@josemontenegro777 interesting thought...but how, may i ask, have they become more mainstream? Are you actually listening to this song right now? This is not the type of bullshit you're gonna hear on radio1...and considering all of their 'old fans' have fucked off and haven't bothered buying this album...I would say there's the proof that they've infact gone as far away from the mainstream as possible...unlike their debut album which appealed to a much larger audience.
@MelPullThePin I don't actually listen to Radio1, they sure stream some shit, but I've heard.. Keane, Radiohead there too, maybe even Stereophonics... now what you say is true... they actually been losing fans XD even me since the made that "Fluorescent Adolescent Humbug Tour's Version", but well they may not be as famous as years ago but still make cool tunes ;)
from 0:09 to 0:15 a rat is hollowed by the stares of Alex, who therefore looks to the man in charge of the studio with waiting eyes, suggesting that someone should go get it. The man does nothing. So does Alex. At 0:18 the rat scares Alex agaiiin. 'whAtAnAsty studio' he thinks.
@KraziiBoiii It was just a copy of joy division! Strange house was much much better it was a bad thing for them that they changed! They really had a great style before primary colours! Humbug is excellent! So Humbug>Primary colours
@LP4ever13@LP4ever13 Strange House was a very average record. Primary Colours was miles better and the Joy Division comparisons were very redundant. Joy Division never recorded anything like the title track. It wasn't original but it was definitely more inspired than Strange House. Humbug however was just completely awesome all over.
@wiuwiuwi yeah they have changed you're right, they change every album, i don't' think Brick by Brick was a bad song though, i'm looking forward to the new album
@howlinlevi2 That is so true! you can see the evolution from their first record and then you listen Humbug and sounds so different But i have to say again... i prefer to call it "EVOLUTION"
This is one of their best songs and this performance is pretty much perfect... so why are you people STILL talking about his hair?! I MEAN, SERIOUSLY.
i hope they don't go back to their old style. i'd love if they could evolve some more. if that's even possible, because humbug is unbelievable! can't wait for the new album!
