I like it. That Alex Turner has got some really good lyrics IMO.
Or is it just a re-hash of old Jam/Kinks riffs?

it's ok, but we're so used to product hype nowadays for films, music etc and it never lives up to the marketting. It's good indie but big advanced sales orders (which is what that means) due to global media/news hype doesn't a 'long-term classic' make.

i guess im lucky in that i never listen to the radio (dont have one), watch top of the pops or indulge in any of this z-list celebrity mush so aren't exposed to all of this, you could introduce any band i listen to and they will be better than anything in the charts at the mo, not to say i have great taste but moreso the charts is full of uninspired trite....
i feel for ya dom, i really do....

the original vibe was without 'industry' support .. free downloads, myspace etc. then sony/bmg/whoever got on board and carried on with the 'no promotion' thing -
they've "not really done any interviews" ... but they've had a ton af media coverage about the lack of industry support and how they've "not really done any interviews", the guardian love them.
apart form that, i like 'i bet you look good ...' the off-kilter chords are nice.
