Arctic Monkeys (funk, single, album, band, songs)

Arctic monkeys for me have got stronger and stronger with each album, unlike say The Strokes, their Debut album hasn't dragged them down.

Suck it and See was a great record that maybe suffered from releasing Brick by Brick as its first taster instead of one of its poppier tracks and its track order then anything else having a fast start and slow ending did put a few off. But tracks like The title track, Shalala,Reckless sernade, That's were your wrong, Black treacle and Piledriver Waltz are as good as anything they have done. Don't sit down and All my own stunts are great rockers. Plus B-sides Evil twin and You and I are album worthy tracks.

R U Mine is their best single since Crying lighting.

Humbug is a masterpiece, Favourite worst nightmare is probably better then their debut and Whatever people say.. is their stamp on British music.

I think Alex Turner is probably Britains best songwriter right now and in Mat Helders, they have the best drummer around. I think along with Radiohead, Muse and Kasabian they are one of the few class British bands around.
