Ahh I hate when I'm late to music. I DID hear a couple Arctic Monkeys songs on live105's soundcheck new music radio show when there was all this hype about them/when the songs first premiered in 2006 or maybe even 2005(?), and yes, I liked those songs, but never bothered to look them up. A few months ago I listened to their sophomore album, "Favourite Worst Nightmare", and was unimpressed, so yeah. Only now, the day before I go to their show at the beautifully renovated Fox Theatre in Oakland, that I listen to their debut album. Yeah, I totally win at this. Well apparently, this album is about the life of 19- and 20-year-olds, which is how old the band members were when they produced this. Actually I also listened to their latest album "Humbug" which features "Crying Lightning", and was about equally unimpressed with it as with "Worst Nightmare", so I think I'm just not a big fan of the Arctic Monkeys. I like this album, though. And hopefully I'll like them more after their show. =7
