You know how sometimes everyone goes crazy for a band and even though you think they are pretty good the inner snob in you demands that you rise above it and you then commit yourself to rubbishing them to anyone who is willing to listen? I did it with Oasis (although in fairness they are rubbish now). Maybe you do it with The Beatles or Led Zeppelin? Anyway - I give you The Arctic Monkeys. Society as a whole seems to be lauding them like they were the second coming of Christ, and you know what.....damn right! They are that good. Every time I listen to this CD it gets better and better. Every fibre of my being wants to dismiss this record\band as hysteria and to brand their fans as sycophantic, moronic, watchers of CD:UK. But I can't. The Arctic Monkeys are great and I make no appologies. Buy their CD. Do it quickly. Claim that you "were always into them even before they were famous" if you must but BUY THIS CD.
