I don't see what's so great...

[Genesis]

It's Arctic.

[Mama Kin]

I admit their lyrics are not complex and they're a bunch of young lads hell bent on not playing by the rules but i think they are just so fresh and great to listen to

[Genesis]

They represent the social situations in naughties Britain

[Mama Kin]

It's Arctic.

My bad I typed it how i say it

[*Dreamer*]

I like them but their not as great as people make them to be

I agree with you there. I think they're good but are overrated already which isn't a good thing in my eyes

[matt_barker]

yeah i love em

they are my fave "nme" band

i think they are overrated, and overplayed however

[Cold-Heart-Breaker]

Brilliant album

[Guest cherry_bomb]

Yeah that's a great song. Try and listen to When The Sun Goes Down and Cigarette Smoke these two are my faves

I had to say no, I'm afraid.

I like "From the Ritz to Rubble" and "Bigger boys and stolen sweethearts", but beyond that they really do my head in!

[Nightrain_Kid]

I finally listened to the album and in all fairness its actually pretty good, the lyrics are like the streets with some pretty good punky riffs, its not very original and its not the sorta thing id reguarly listen to if im just chilling at home, but it'd be great to listen to before a night on the town.

"You see her with the green dress?

She talked to me at the bar

How come it's already two pound fifty?

We've only gone about a yard

Didn't you see she were gorgeous

She were beyond belief

But this lad at the side drinking a Smirnoff Ice

Came and paid for her Tropical Reef "

[Guest katie]

not really, they are very catchy and poppy, but i just don't like them

i think they are a very much a part of the hype, people have seemed to become desperate in NME world ( i am not insulting it-i am a part of it, i am well aware it is the heat magazine of the music scene) since the libertines split

i think they are a little too pretentious for my liking-and i am a very pretentious person

[Wildrose]

Nah not really.

[gin_hotel]

there better than a lot of the shit bands out there, like kaiser chiefs for example or franz ferdinand

[supersillyspacemonkey]

iv never heard anythign by these guys.

but i guess from all ive been hearing about em here ill go check em out soon

[Gallagher Rose]

Yes and No.

They are really an overrated band,wrongly compared to the beatles or something like that by the shit magazine NME...

But is that the band's fault though?

[gunnai]

I love them, at first I didn't think they could live up to their hype but now I'm convinced, very good debut album. Fave song is Still Take You Home.

Yeah thats a tune, mardy bum or red light indicates door are secure (or whatever its called) are my favs

[Solid snake 89]

I love them, managed to get some songs that they had going around before the album, and the album itself is wicked

[Dead Flower]

Hmm, might have to give the album another shot. Had a quick listen to a few of the tracks and it didn't do much for me, but maybe I've just got to put a bit more time into it.
