michael Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I think it's the singers voice / singing style that annoys me most of all. Discuss.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I loved their last album offering. I do find them a bit too Northern though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digsy Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I really liked their last effort. Chirpy songs about regular mates / weekend / relationships stuff without sounding chavvy like The Streets for example. "Red light indicates doors are secure" was brilliant. Judging by the last few singles the next album will be more of the same. I heard another band on Radio One the other night and they were a blatant Actric Monkeys rip off. I forget who they were now, though. Same style and subject matter though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 so you're northernist then? It's the Yorkshire accent I can't stomach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 I do find them a bit too Northern though. One of the things that annoys me is that he sings like he's trying to be an American / Cockney hybrid that pronounces things like a good honest northerner should.

Really? I always find him to be very Sheffield in his speaking and singing, especially songs like Mardy Bum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 Maybe I'm confusing them with N-Sync Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan.G Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 The lead singer sounds like a Northern Tramp busking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I love them... 'for my money', one of the best bands in the land currently.. I'm amazed how he can write songs like 'Mardy Bum' at his age.. Apparently the new album will be a bit noisier... I read an interview (abet a very short one) in 'Uncut' this month and they've been listening to QOTSA.. so hopefully it'll be good.. they're good at noisy.. Michael - I bet you don't like them for the same reason I don't like The Futureheads and Maximo Park.. they sound like me trying to sing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snooze Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I'm usually known here for my desire to seek out some of the less-well-known bands just to find something different. So, in a snooty, missed-the-bandwagon, kind of way I deliberately avoided the Northern Arctic Monkeys first effort for a while. When I finally listened to the album, some months later, I really, really, really didn't want to like it. Conclusion: best album I bought last year. Looking forward to the next one!

Jezz Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I think they're talentless, noisey, badly written, poorly produced crap. If they ever come on the radio, its turned off or switched over, or maybe thrown at the wall. Complete drivel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
