i am a rocking horse
i like anything thats guitar-based but has a vague assosciation with mr tune.
Myrtle stop basing quality on success
success these days is generally caused by some extenuating factor rather than the actual music. In Arctic Monkeys case its because they are the first band to take advantage of downloads since it became legal.
The media have latched onto them and they have become media darlings forcing the big brother fans and sun readers of the world, many of whom cannot formulate their own opinion, to buy this album.
It doesnt matter who bought the album
They may have sold X amount on Monday, but how many copies were sold to second hand shops on tuesday or wednesday
If the band can transcend this current scene and stay popular then fair play to them, but i personally think they are crap.
Before people start to attack me I am not saying everyone who bought this album or watches reality tv or reads the sun is a sheep, but i do believe that all sheep bought this album, solely because it is flavour of the month.
I am not a sheep I am a horse
ps the band are also now using the 'its uncool to do top of the pops' gimmick. hmm the papers wont report on that one if u dont want to do top of the pops dont do it, dont garner publicity by saying ur not going to do it
