    Usually opinion and tastes, thats why - I usually say I don't enjoy so and so music, but I never say its '****' because I know theres a target market audience out there, and that would just be biased

    All music taste is a matter of opinion...

    ...but at the same time I want to hate them for no valid reason

    I personally think they are living off hype at the moment, and a lot of people like them because they want to go along with this hype. Let's see if they are about in a few years.

    listened to all their tracks before the big hype... i realy did like them, well liked well every song... Now.. everyone basically bums them for a few cruddy songs and their terrible new album....

    the new album consisits of all remade track of which are all slower, worse lyrics, renamed tracks, slightly different beat, calmer/boring, no real drama emphasis or anything their original songs were much better... now they simply suck they have changed to POP! and proberly won't go back to their real roots... which were as still are much better than the music they are now producing, especially the stuff they are likely to produce. *makes me crindge*

    nearly brought tickets for cambs early december... Glad i didn't now *phew*


    edit: Blah! i can't believe you are all listening to the well frankly c**p verions of all their songs on the new album....
    i think i might hate it alot more as n00bies love it and they are going to loose any tallent they previously had.

    I'm trying to remember the last single I bought. I'm pretty sure it was 'In Too Deep' by Sum 41*. Has there been anything worth lisening to in the charts since then?

    *Great song- but an utterly almighty video, that's why I bought the DVD

    How elitist are you? I bet you listen to bands just 'because no-one else knows about them'.

    Personally, I've been listening to Arctic Monkeys for ages and they werent anything that special to begin with. Certainly not as good as all this hype has made them out to be.

    After listening to their album a few times, the only song which has really been changed is A Certain Romance. They slowed that one down and imo, it doesn't ruin the song in any way at all.

    Matt.
    Really not the kind of act you want supporting a band like Green Day, tbh.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    I can't stand them personally, same old same old indie-pop that you get all over the place these days (other examples inc Hard-Fi, The Killers, the strokes, bloc party etc)

    But they will sell loads of records because at lot of people like that type of music..each to their own

    try ebay for tix - tho they will be exensive

    I saw them at Reading last year, stood near the front for two bands before just to get to the front for them.

    Was also lucky to see them on the first date of their last tour in Oct Nothing beats seeing them in a 300 person venue before they got hyped up.

    I didnt wanna see them this time as it just wouldnt have been the same.

    Had enough of the album too, everyone is like 'wow its so amazing' but any real fan had heard almost all of the tracks ages ago when they had them for download on their forums.

    I think its a good album. Enjoy listening to it.

    I dont get all this ranting and raving about Hard Fi tho - the albums ok but its no super album is it?
