    I think they're very good and I'm looking forward to see if they can follow up such a great record. After PJ, the Arctic Monkeys album was my favourite from last year.

    They're certainly the best of the UK bands that have been popular over the last couple of years. I think they could well be the ones who'll still around when the likes of Hard Fi, the Kaiser Chiefs, Fratellis, Editors etc have all faded into obscurity....where they belong

    I like the Kaiser Chiefs - they are better than the rest you don't like

    I'm 19, and I just really don't like the sound of Alex Turner's voice. Or the sound of the guitars actually. I just don't like the whole British retro-indie scene that has arisen these last couple of years. then again, my favourite thing to come out of Britain recently was Lily Allen, so what do I know?

    ARCTIC MONKEYS are brilliant, I like their stuffs...their debut cd was a prize of a competition...and I was one of the lucky winner...and I had been about to buy that so it managed to get to the appropriate environment:)
    IMHO Kaiser Chiefs are terribly overrated, i was quite bored after just few listens!!!

    I think the Editors are 100 times better than the Arctic Monkeys, although i have to agree about Hard Fi and the Kaiser Chiefs, really hate both of them.

    I liked the Fratellis before they released songs like Chelsea Dagger, theyve become really cheesy now.
    People say im paranoid. Well, they dont say it, but i know that's what they are thinking.

    I'm 17 and I just don't like them. I agree with what Rhinocerous Surprise said. Apart from the Lily Allen part :p


    Gordon Brown's a fan...

    Hehe... I didn't want to be a fan of Lily's, but that LDN song got in my head and wouldn't get out. She is something of a rarity today, I think, in that she just makes good pop music.

    Unlike, to bring this back on topic, the Arctic Monkeys!:D

    they are boring...

    the first track I heard was "I bet you look good..." and I thought it was ok...

    Then the second single was released on the radio and it was exactly the same...
    Then the third single came out and then again it was the same...

    I can't hear them anymore...

    not a fan, but i definately won't say they suck
    at least they try to sound original - that i always appreciate
    and as someone already said, they're not too bad a band for a couple of 19 year olds.

    but it is difficult for me to invision them really expanding their sound in the future
