I forgot to mention this in my earlier post, but The Arctic Monkeys have released a new song on there official website, complete with video. The song is called "Brick By Brick" and you can hear it right now...
What do you think?
I personally love it. Got a great 70's american feel to it. Nice jangly guitars, cracking middle 8, quite catchy. its a buzz.
I have read a few comments left by fans on a few other blogs and also on youtube. The general consensus is the lyrics are weak and the song sounds to "americany".
There are also quite a few comments mentioning there 3rd album "humbug", how it was a massive let down and that this new song is to similar to the sound from that album.
I fucking LOVE the monkeys for this. When I heard humbug I thought to myself that this is an album that will piss off at least half of there hardcore fan base. There were no songs about standing in line at the chippy, drinking a 6 pack of lager and getting a taxi home. They did that on there first albums. They were 17-18 year old lads. They were writing songs that mirrored there lives at the time.
What is the point of writing more songs like that when you have already done it and they are no longer relevent to you?
No, im happy with the (slightly) new direction. Will anyone else? Fuck knows. I dont think Alex and the other 3 will give 2 shits. They made it big on there first album, they have nothing to prove and they are making music for them.
Good lads.
