Arctic Monkeys (metal, rock, albums, Kraftwerk, bling)

I love Sigur Ros, and Explosions in The Sky, but I don't really compare them because they play different styles of post-rock. Sigur Ros is more dreamy, and hypnotic, while EitS are more upbeat and energetic. My all time favorite EitS song is Song For Our Fathers, and I cannot differentiate between tracks on () but the entire album blows me away. Like I said, I really cannot compare the two.

they're big but its all about the 2nd album now, they've gotta prove it wasn't a fluke

In my opinion, having listened to their whole album, only two songs are good on it. It seemed a shame to be honest, and I left my Stereo with disappointment. I think they could of done so much better, but really they're mostly just cover songs. Perhaps they should of stuck with the elements of music that they put in `I bet you look good on the dance floor`, because, for me, that's the best song on their album.

Cover songs? What? And I bet you look good on the dancefloor, in my opinion, is a bad song. It pales in comparison to what the rest of this album has to offer.

I think what he means by cover songs is that they're just ripping off other bands, and there's not much original about them.

She* I didn't mean cover songs, I meant tracks which fill in the album. I meant fillers :-)) It's just my opinion.

The guy sings flat. It's the same songs over and over and they're spotty.
So what's the big deal?

Nikie Pentagram · 04-08-2006, 02:32 PM

Are you joking?...None of their songs sound alike.

And most singers for indie/alternative bands arent exactly what you would call very good singers.
