As long as I'm a part of this Solar System I will not like him.
he is a great songwriter
the last arctic monkeys album was terrible though I think they should just quit and he should do solo albums

nah AM was a shit load better than fucking Suck It And See
I currently have mixed feelings about them. AM had better songwriting and lyrics than SIAS but the subjects of said lyrics were fucking trash, and they completely "americanized" their sound.
I still have hope for them, but I doubt they'll ever reach Humbug-levels again, that shit was a masterpiece.

>invoice me for the mic
First three Arctics albums were fantastic. Suck It And See was quite weak in parts, but in other parts fucking strong, like Reckless Serenade and Don't Sit Down.
Their last album is just trash though. 13 year old Tumblrina pandering nonsense that clearly jumped on the Black Keys popularity bandwagon.
By all reports the guy is a colossal dick.
I really like this record. Only about half of it is bona fide great, but some excellent moments. All the singles work a lot better in context of the album. I miss when great guitar pop was mainstream in indie like in the 2000s.
Have met the man himself a few times during the Sheffield indie revolution from 2003-2007, wasn't too bad back then.
Since then, a complete fucking dick. Met Matt Helders again (and the old bassist Andy) after nearly seven years not long ago at a friend's parents dinner party as he's vaguely related, and he told me that Alex just didn't enjoy coming home cause he's enjoying his current lifestyle.
Plenty of better Sheffield indie acts then and now, Arctic Monkeys are nothing special.

It's funny how Alex apparently became the thing they criticized in their early years. I seriously have no idea how such a drastic change happened.
>>63781008
AM shits all over SIAS. More consistent, huge peaks that rival the ones in SIAS. Also, they nailed what they were aiming for with Don't Sit Down a lot better in AM imo. SIAS still has a couple of fantastic songs though.
>Arctic Monkeys are the best band from Sheffield
>Arctic Monkeys are the best band from Yorkshire
If you think this you should basically kill yourself.

Only standout song on AM is Arabella, everything else barring the overplayed singles is forgettable.
I'm hoping they'll return to their old sound with number 6, like Kings of Leon did with their last album.
