You must listen to a lot of great music then because even though I don't really care for it it's not garbage, and Humbug is pretty good...

In the last year or so I have stepped up my game regarding what music I listen to, so I generally don't listen to much garbage any more.

Humbug is okay.

I know that i'm in the minority here, but I think that they gotten better as they've matured. For me, Suck It And See and Humbug > Favourite Worst Nightmare and Whatever People Say I Am.

I am the exact opposite. Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not may have been completely generic, but it rocked. To people like myself, who wasn't deep into music at that time of it's release, it was fresh. It made me want to hear better music that was being made in 2006, not just looking back at The Stooges and The Velvet Underground for musical inspiration.

I mean... That's just bad ass and I don't care what anyone says.

I've only really listened to Whatever People Say I Am Thats What I'm Not.
I think its a good album but not good enough to make me want more of the band.
Generic but, after having the album since not long after its released, I've been surprised how into it I can get every once in a while. Pretty solid.

Their new single is truly the best song they have released in years. Return to form!

R U Mine is definitely a great single. The b-sides that they've released since SIAS, plus this new song, are pretty great. Evil Twin is another wonderful rocker.

If I hear another Arctic Monkeys album before I hear a second Last Shadow Puppets album I'm going to be severely disappointed.

A new album from either is fine in my books! Considering his connection with The Arctic Monkeys does anyone like Miles Kane here?

I liked that Last Shadow Puppets album, but The Rascals have never grown on me. Not sure if he has any other projects.
