    I don't think we should assume that AM or The Strokes are unwilling victims of NME's arse-licking. I'm sure they're loving the arse-licking. I'm sure it's mutual, musical arse-licking.

    Anyway, not that I actually care about either band, but would someone mind spelling 'Arctic' right? Please? It has a 'c' in it. Thanks.

    The next time someone says 'ARTIC' to me, I'm going to punch them.

    the strokes changed a little (for the better IMO) "music" magazines don't like it when bands change

    A Pitchfork or (insert popular music magazine or website here) review is basically saying.. "On a scale of 1-5, here's how trendy this band is right now".

    With that position in mind the patterns you drew attention to make a lot of sense.

    Yeah, I think their last album was pretty good. They changed somewhat drastically from their old sound which is gonna help keep them around.

    Yeah Yeah Yeahs & Kings of Leon did the same thing with better albums.

    The Strokes are a much better band imo.....The Arctic Monkey's don't interest me one bit. The Strokes are beginning to broaden their horizon, and I see nothing but good things and a long career for them.

    "Kings of Leon dropped 3.5 on the trendy scale @ pitchfork.com" :p:D

    Good. fuck pitchfork. "Because of the Times" is the best record of the year. Yes better than Zeitgeist by my favorite band.

    I dont even love The Strokes but The Arctic Monkeys have nothing on them.......they are easily the most overrated band in history, I still cant believe that so many people and critics love a band with this little talent

    Yeah the Arctic monkeys have a few ok riffs here and there but more than anything remind me of a shitty Libertines, and isn't that what babyshambles is there for?
