There's something good here--but I'm trying to figure out if it's enough........

Fun, but nothing original or inspired.

Homage or rip off? I am trying to figure that out.

that initial guitar riff sounded a bit like punk-era Joe Jackson, too. Glad to hear some bands doing straight-ahead punk/rock these days.

No. Best Arctic Monkey is a non-singer one.

They do sound like Bowie, don't they?

I didn't even notice the lyric change. That shows how much attention I pay to the lyrics when listening to the radio.

The version on the album is one of my favorite songs right now. They got a great groove going on that one. I can only assume the final version would be doing a little better than this in the song ratings if RP was playing it.

Noticed the same thing, biggest difference (aside from it sounding "rougher") is the lyric which starts

" 'Oh you saved me!' She screamed down the line" and was changed from "the band's a f***ing wanker, I'm not having a nice time" to "the band weren't very good"...

Think I like the album version better =)

Get off the bandwagon, and put down the handbook...">

Now that I've been living with the album for a while, it seems like this is a different mix. Is this the version that was floating around the 'net building up the pre-release buzz? It has the somewhat raw quality of a demo, but the album version is more polished, yet still gloriously groovy.

I'm thinking I shouldn't like this...but I'm slowly being sucked in.....help !!!

The UK's latest saviour of rock. Let's watch the scene build them up then tear 'em to shreds an album or two from now. It never stops.

again...



Rock ON RP - YEEAAHH !

Some of these wannabe bands that are (seemingly) everywhere of late really kick. This ain't one of 'em.

Have you ever said "glottal stop" while using a glottal stop?

Rock ON RP - YEEAAHH !

When I walked into my medieval philosophy class the other day, my professor had her laptop blaring music through a set of external speakers that she brought expressly for the purpose of exposing the class to The Arctic Monkeys. She raved about them the whole time she took roll. It was a strange moment for me, but I guess you had to be there. Anyway, I would like to hear more of them.

yet another good band I have never heard of.

There's SoCal & NoCal... ...BAM BAM!!

...sorry, tammaye, I agree that Jack White is better than the Edge. He plays the parts of 2 guitarists and a bassist, which is extremely impressive whether you like the music or not...

I don't get the impression that The Artic Monkeys intend their music & image to be taken entirely seriously... Besides, I can't help myself from pointing out that I find guitar riffs from "the edge" to be dull and pedantic.

Just my 2 cents worth - don't get too worked up about it.

How about to Rolling Stone?

I'm really growing to like this song. Good stuff.

Too much of a Bowie rip-off.

Decent song though.
