has anyone heard anything of the new Arctic Monkeys album?
I listened to the clips on Itunes Music store - not so keen on it yet but have been playing Fluorescent Adolescent from YouTube non stop...

(although not a music video - it has the best sound quality at the mo)
It does remind me of Mardy Bum Smile

I love the clever, quick, witty lyrics - it's just fab

thoughts?

Being one of the few people in the world not to have fallen to the charm of the Arctic Monkeys' first album, I gave the samples a listen, plus the current single Brianstorm - video currently here - http://www.amazon.co.uk/o/ASIN/B000NA2UM8/ref=s9_asin_image_1/203-1297340-7194342?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-1&pf_rd_r=0NNP9B0MHB3S83MME5WM&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=137840191&pf_rd_i=468294. and your link to youtube.

They're very dark and serious, aren't they? Flourescent Adolescent is possibly the lightest and most commercial song - very witty as you say, it reminded me of Madness, or what Madness might have evolved to had Suggs not decided to cosy up with Jools Holland etc.
