Arctic Monkeys have announced that their new album entitled ‘Favourite Worst Nightmare’, will be released on Monday 23rd April. Their debut album 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not' introduced me into the indie rock genre and has remained my alltime favorite since its release. If the new one is anything as good as the first one i know we (most probably this generalization doesn't include the older generation of am) won't be dissapointed.

yep im looking forward to it. Although I feel i would have liked Arctic monkeys more if i was younger I know that they are a great band and their two recent eps have had some high quality songs on them.

can't wait for this one. apparently there is some organ used but nothing to drastic. i don't like the album title, it doesn't sound right.

well even 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, it sounds like the name of a pop princess's album

The first album showed they can actually write good songs and play but it just scratched the surface. I wish to think they have more in them, after all some bands found themselves after not one, not two but three to fours albums. Radiohead

LOL
although The Bends isnt as intelligent a OK computer or experimental as Kid a (although everything in Kid a has been done before - its more a monumental move in my eyes at least) it is a very accomplished album. In fact Radiohead could have simply recorded 'the bends part two' instead of ok computer and they would still become famous.

They started making Britpop 5 years too late, when Britpop itself was simply the effect of grunge in the UK, fallout after the explosion. Yorke repeating "I'm a creep" over and over and over again. You feel knocking him upside the head and putting him out of his misery. Britpoppers posing as grunge kids and even trying to top it off when grunge has already topped itself off and died slowly in the ecstatic delirium of teen angst it started with. Now think about the bastard children of the bends era and you end up with Coldplay.

umm i didn't quite get the last paragraph
well brian eno is producing the fourth coldplay album.
The thing is I championed coldplay when they released the blue room ep and i still think that the debut is very good. The rest I don't like too much though. Also Coldplay came at a time when music was generally awful so they came as a breath of fresh air.
true though bands like muse (early muse), turin brakes, Keane, late Snow patrol have all used the The bends as a cue and failed. Slowly these imitators are diminishing

god forbid anyone puts tom york out of his misery.
describing brit pop as a mere grunge bastard is a bit like saying that the beatles are simply the effect of elvis's fallout. (or saying that the female sex has 10 bananas instead of fingers and an olive pip for a heart)

coming from ihatemusic :-)
what did you expect?
teenage angst. some exorcise it on forums others through music. isn't teenage angst as muxh a part of life as pissing and eating? What's wrong with putting it into music.
It's not like Radiohead still smack of teenage angst. They moved on. hopefully so will you.
