I haven't heard this band or read anything about them other than a few Obner mentions.

I've never heard them either. I've read a bunch of headlines about them, but haven't clicked on any links.

I've seen the album everywhere, but I think I have heard maybe 2 or so 30 second snippets on iTunes.

Never. This thread is solely dedicated to us haters. As soon as someone says something positive or defensive, this thread is over.

I'm a non-knower, not a hater, but based on the awful name I imagine that could quickly change.

That's the spirit! Inhale the hate!

Snap judgments and shooting down what other people like is what makes this board, nay this world, so great.

Snap judgements? Did you even read what I wrote earlier about not having heard them yet...or better yet, my comment (THAT YOU QUOTED) in which I said that I'm "not a hater?"

I said that I think the name is dumb...that's it. If the band is as bad as the name, I won't like them. I haven't written them off based on the name - if I did that for other groups, I wouldn't have every Superchunk album.

I clearly read what you wrote. You said that you haven't heard anything but the bad name could be foreboding.

I, being a hater, said that you should just start hating them right now. Don't bother listening to them. Just jump over to my side now.

Because I like having people on my side.

You Canadians are crazy people. Thanks for the gift of Neil Young, though. You can have Alan Thicke back.

They may be overhyped, have a ridiculously stupid name, and are all-around too Dalen-centric, but I like their album because it's reminiscent of The Libertines' finer moments.

I'm going to watch SNL tonight primarily for the overwhelming look of disinterest and bafflement on the face of Matt Dillon when he introduces them.

To sum up, FT sez hooray for Arctic Monkeys!

I like the album more now than when I first heard it.

The bass player kicks ass for a kid in a band like this.

because i was so desperate for something new, i bought it. most of the even-numbered songs aren't bad, and i think the drummer's pretty good too. i didn't realize they'll be on snl tonight -- here's hoping that they'll be better than james blunt.

yeah, same here.

i don't really hate AM but i don't think their album is as great as everyone made it out to be. and it's still a dumb band name.

I'll wait till I see it used or if Best Buy sells it for under $10.

Are there any key tracks that really stand out?

They were good last night. A tight four-piece, that lead singer has some Liam Gallagher in him (as do all brits nowadays?) and i cant stand singers who play lead guitar but no rhythm (they always look like its forced) and drummers who sing.

They were about 20X better than The Strokes were.

last night's SNL appearance proved that Arctic Monkeys are a fucking kick ass live band. tight and full of energy. better than any band out right now that play that style of music.

if you don't like them, go fuck yourself. simple as that.
