AM is an amazing album. I feel they have taken the darker sonics from the Humbug album, the more melodious singing from Suck It And See, combined it with the storytelling nature of Whatever The People Say I Am... and made their best album. I think all their work stands the test of time. I saw them live at Earls Court and it is interesting to note how the slower songs sound more reflective of them at their current time. I mean yes, the crowd went mental for "I Bet You Look Good...", but that song almost sounds like it's from a different band. It is well worth the hype that has been lavished upon it in my opinion!
