Brand new professional band pic to go along wif the album announcement:

A bit strange to have Alex on the far left. Fuck it, though. They all look great, especially Alex and Helders.

 

[u2popmofo]

I like that Do I Wanna Know song.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Yes!!!

Holy fucking shit. This is so great. I need to sit down and watch their entire Glastonbury set sometime soon. Damn.

 

[trojanchick99]

Caught most of it and they were in fine form. They have 3 shows in LA coming up!

 

[Jive Turkey]

Uh, that Do I Wanna Know song is wicked

 

[MoodyJ]

They have 3 shows in LA coming up!

And none in New England.

 

[iron yuppie]

Uh, that Do I Wanna Know song is wicked

Yes it is. Bit of a Black Keys vibe going on in that riff, which is a great thing.

 

[u2popmofo]

GAF might kill you for saying that, iYup.

 

[iron yuppie]

He's not a Black Keys fan?

 

[nielsgov]

I like the Black Keys a lot but Do I Wanna Know is better than every song of theirs I know.

Disclaimer: I only have their last two albums.

 

[LemonMelon]

1. Do I Wanna Know?
2. R U Mine?

This album is going to start off really well, at the very least.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

He's not a Black Keys fan?

Not a fan, no. I just find them a little bit humorless. No doubt they can rock a little bit, and there are a few songs I dig. They're a tight, professional duo, and I can respect that. But, yeah, no love.

I know you were just comparing the one riff, but if we did have to compare the two bands overall I think it's no contest. Monkeys are ten times more fun and colorful and melodic, and Alex Turner is about 1,000,000 times the lyricist of whatever the fuck his name is in Black Keys. In fact, he's the best young lyricist in rock music today.

 

[iron yuppie]

Let's just be clear that I meant the comparison as a compliment.

 

[Tacvbo]

pretty cool new b-side to Do I wanna know?

New single, new video. Both are awesome. The band looks great, the video really cracked me up, with a hilariously spot-on ending.

[Jive Turkey]

Not bad. Not as good as the previous two, but maybe it'll grow

 

[Mount Temple]

I like it. The new stuff seems quality. Arctic Monkeys are a good band. "I Bet You Look Good On The Dance Floor" was in my top ten best songs of last decade ( the naughties) so good, rockin and full of life.

 

[nielsgov]

Love this band. Love the three new songs though the first two were better than this new one.

 

[BigMacPhisto]

I think I'm seeing them live because I accidentally found tickets in my girlfriend's back pack. I've honestly listened to their first album like once and didn't really care for it, but I hear their live show is great. Also, I really love Alex Turner's soundtrack to Submarine.

Album is shaping up well. Long overdue for a leak! Only 5 days until the Aussie release though, so won't be waiting too long.

 

[LemonMelon]

Would be surprised if it isn't up on NPR at midnight.

[dan_smee]

aaaaaaaand it's leaked.

rlslog has the goodies

 

[dan_smee]

So far have listened to:

Do i Wanna Know
R U mine?
One For the Road
Arabella
Why'd You Only....

Very very good so far. Mixes some Zep 70s, classic 50s, some cool falsetto just a really classy, clean, good mix of songs so far. It makes sense as an album as well. Looking forward to the rest.

 

[Lila64]

Link to the leak? *shifty*

The kid has already preordered the CD. We're seeing them at the end of the month.

 

[nielsgov]

Sounds good on first listen. Extremely cohesive. Some great hooks. They surely enjoy their falsetto's. Happy with this. So now we're at 5 very good albums...
