anyone like them? thoughts? worth buying?
some of their stuff sounds good, but i'm not sure. plus, i hate being american and liking european bands more. :( (maybe its because all the US bands are shit on a stick)
i am contemplating buying/downloading them, but i would like some input.

"I was a fan of the Arctic Monkeys before it was cool."
I want to shove ared hot poker poker down the singers throat, then beat the guitarists over the head with their own guitars. Even then that wouldn't be enough punishment for the shit thats been constantly blasted at our ears for the past 6 months.

They're alright. I like Serafin better.

They're really American for England, I think...
Why is it we don't hear more about Kasabian?

Especially in Britain. Those people just go through bands like candy.

They are ok, but they don't deserve the "greatest band since The Beatles" title NME throws on everyone.
They do make me upset that Clinic has yet to dent the American airwaves, they are immensely better.

They're ok, some of their songs are pretty good, some are pretty damn funny. But some of the album is a little filler. They aren't The Greatest Band Ever TM. For starters it's only one album, wait until they have released 4 then see how they are doing. But still, they are a lot better than the Kaizer Chiefs, Kazabian and Embrace who are flavour of the month right now.

The Kaiser cheifs and the arctic monkeys are both great bands in my opinion. Of course they lose a bit of their appeal when they make it to the mainstream, but that always happens.

I am proud to say that I liked the Arctic Monkeys AFTER they became famous.
I like their music, kinda reminds me of the Boomtown Rats (Compare Scummy Man to Rat Trap...) but I have to say I like Kasabian more.
