    I´ve heard their record and the first song which i don´t remember the name just blew away my brain...the rest is good too, but I want to see them on stage. They are ok

    I guess I'm in the minority...

    I'm utterly bored with them.

    But then they didn't hold my interest for very long.

    They are really okay - their album kicks ass and the live-show was good...

    Hope their 2nd album will be as good as the 1st...mostly British bands only make good debuts...

    I've seen them. They do well, and even enjoy the odd gig they play. Man, imagine playing to bunch of twats around the country, every night of the week, and be judged on media created preconceptions of what you're supposed to be!

    Superb analysis. They're overrated and blown out of proportion, and a little arrogant, but for a bunch of nineteen year olds that've been in it for a year, they're not that bad.

    One of the brightest hopes that I have had for a bad since the strokes released their first album and ditto kings of leon. I have seen them live and they rocked the place. New album out in the spring and I can't wait for it to come out

    from everything i've seen of them in the media, they seem the least arrogant band out there

    a lot of people seem to say they suck simply because they dont like the hype surrounding them, but it cant be ignored that the album is actually good

    I dont think they are arrogant really, they seem to go about their business quite quietly. I dont think they are as good as NME would have us believe, or as good as the hype surrounding them suggests. Having said that i think they are a half decent band, its not their fault they have been hyped up so much.
    People say im paranoid. Well, they dont say it, but i know that's what they are thinking.

    I really don't like them, but better they be popular than whatever skank brought out that dance version of Another Brick In The Wall, I guess.

    Eric Prydz? He did the song with the video of all the hot girls working out, so we'll let him off with the fact that his music is shit! lol

    I don't like them, I bought the album because I was really into Hard-Fi and The Kaiser Chiefs, but they just didn't live up to all the hype for me. The Fratellis are a funner version for me, voices are almost the same.
    You are just a negative mindless pud.

    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
