Arctic Monkeys new album - pile of poo

Recommended Posts

Yeah, been listening it today since I got it this morning. Wasn't expecting much musically, but it really is a pile of poo. The equivalent of the latest RHCP album, where all the songs sound the same.

The last album showed they were more of a singles band, now they don't even seem to be that.

they were never good to me anyway, but it seems they cant keep up their momentum. they cant re-invent themselves. i predict they are going to shove themselves further up their own arses and slag off radio 1 and such even more.

on the grid.

See i'm not a fan of these bands that are re-inventing music, although The Klaxons are a band that have done something for me. They're a group that I expected the Arctic Monkeys to be when they raved on about their new album.

I always think that the singer looks like a special needs kid. Mind you, he does talk like one too.

*is from Sheffield and sounds exatly like that* :cry:

I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor and When The Sun Goes Down were good, but they started to fall apart after that.

I've had it for nearly two weeks and it hasn't grown on me as yet its not as instant as the first one and has nothing as catchy as dancefloor. I was quite disappointed with it and have to agree with the RHCP comparison oh well i'm sure loads of ppl will still buy it as theres so much hype surrounding it.

I'm glad I never got caught up in the Arctic Monkeys tripe hype last year. They've got that sort of nouveau arrogance about them and to me represent what is really dire about living in the noughties. Needless to say, I've only heard Brianstorm from this latest outing and that was enough for me to refute any claim made by them to be surpassing themselves.

    • The shows surely being driven for him so all he has to do is talk between the tracks and he can’t get even get that right 
    • I thought the same to that comment, the license fee is going on me babes 
    • What with Jamie Laing, now him. Is it time for a new Head of the station?
    • He also just said coming up we have brand new segment, I thought they were a band 🤣 how did this man get on Radio 1? Aled needs his head testing. It’s an insult people who deserve to be on the radio 
    • Of all the times not mention capital it's probably now? Jordan is flying on breakfast with chris & sian and there's a presenter on friday and saturday that doesn't know who a main r1 artist, tldp are. Mentions capital which surely has to be a big no no given recent events and then says the licence fee goes to me. Talk about vom. We can't have it on here no more as it's that unlistenable and I'm about to switch back for m&m, but this is a Maya Jama x50 level mess of a show. Forget fading the microphone down, the entire show needs fading down
    • As positives go, at least Danny said what the last song played was and upcoming song played was. Plus I guess in that link are perhaps ideas for content (asking listeners to come up with bands from things around them, things that have happened to them this week). That's where's the positives end. It comes across as no thought has gone into what Danny will say next. It gives me proper flashbacks to some Jamie Laing links (especially that one show where he was unexpectedly solo). It's ironic that for all the duos and trios on the station - the one show and DJ that is positively crying out for another DJ to help show them the ropes is left all solo. At least with Jamie Laing they learnt their lesson and he's not been left solo since.
    • How he was just faded out at the end of the link reminded me of the Oscars music fading you out 
    • RPReplay_Final1713612277.mp4   You’re welcome
    • At a time when Radio 1 has surely lost listeners to Capital at Breaktast you’d be trying to protect the station so people switch back.  Certainly yesterday I didn’t switch back to Radio 1 at all.
    • Was abysmal…Surely Danny can’t be a contender for anything permanent when the new schedules are locked in I.e Matt and Mollies slot 
    • Alexandra Burke creating the phrase 'Elephant In The Room' whooooooooo
    • Zane Versus.... Whooooooooo. Do You Do Fridays? WhooOOOooo.  
    • The Capital Breakfast show is right up my street so far - such a fun listen. You've both been great on Radio 1 and are sounding excellent again on Capital A few quickfire questions: You've both been part of some great pairings on radio and on podcast - what goes into making a duo or trio work and sound great on air? Also, Chris - were there ever any discussions about you moving over to Radio 2 with Scott or had the Global offer already come first? Also how do you both go about managing that split between your radio 'you' and the private 'you'? You share a lot on air but also there's some understandably some stuff you keep private (famously Jordan doesn't 'talk about those things'). And how do you make sure if you're having a miserable day or are a bit low that it doesn't come across too much on air?    
    • What a nightmare link at 11.15am this morning. Spent 30 seconds waffling about the name of The Last Dinner Party as if he’d never heard it before, then started mentioning Capital and the license fee, and how it’s been used to pay for him to be there, and was then cut off by the start of the next song.
    • Have been reading this all week. She's such a brave woman. Just got to the chapter where she explains why she missed Scott's leaving event at Radio 1. She talks about leaving Radio 1 because her mum's health got worse, and wanting to quietly leave radio at 44 just how she first arrived on the airwaves at 18. Worth a read!
