Listened to their album today, it's bloody fantastic. Anyone else got hold of it yet?

I bought this today ,but the production on it seems to have lost the edge of the original demo's that were on the website !

Finally got hold of this,and I was very disappointed.It reminds me of some of the less successful punk bands of the late 70's.Poor quality music,with poor quality production.Why all the fuss?I can't work it out.Perhaps I'm just an old fart,but I do like music and this does nothing for me.

Heard a track on the radio earlier this week (bet you look good on the dancefloor??).
Thought it was very bland - another old fart wondering what the fuss is about I guess. Sounded like more music with no balls to me though

They're not bad. I think they're a good band, but I certainly don't think they're anything special. Every now and again there seems to be a band that explodes onto the scene, and everyone's talking about them (The Strokes, Franz Ferdinand, The Killers). At the moment it's the Arctic Monkeys. Time will tell if they're here for the long run. Have to say, though, extremely impressive on the sales front.

Indeed; since when did music sales figures bear any relation to quality?

I think this is an excellent release - pre-ordered it from amazon but only received today as few other items were out of stock.
