Every Arctic Monkeys album with the exception of Whatever People Say That I Am, has been somewhat disappointing to me at first. It takes  a while for me to get into whatever their new sound is, but eventually something clicks & I end up loving the album. With that being said, we're right on schedule with AM.

Sort of. At some point during my first few listens to FWN, Humbug, SI&S & now AM, there is I time when I thought "ugh, I'm not sure how I feel about this one". Every release of theirs sounds different & has taken some time for me to get into. I'm not really worried though, I always end up loving their albums eventually.

That is how I read it. I've liked everything I've heard from it a lot. Then again, I was so-so on them until Humbug came out. I thought that album sort of scraped the surface of what the band should sound like. This sounds like it might be delivering on that promise.

I know that probably puts me in the minority, but there it is. I guess we'll find out next week.

I'll join you in the minority on this one. New album sounds pretty good. I might pick up the record locally if it continues to grow on me.

When the singles off this album were first released, I only listened to the preview on itunes a couple of times & wasn't too impressed with them. After listening to the album more, they've become some of my favorite tracks. I'm also fuckin' loving Snap Out of It & Knee Socks. I guess I'm finally starting to come around on this one.

I got my deluxe today, but I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet. The deluxe is pressed on 180 gram vinyl & comes in a gatefold sleeve. It includes a photo book & bonus 7" with the tracks 'Stop the World' & '2013' on it. I'm not sure if the standard version is 180 gram, or if it comes in a gatefold but I know the booklet & 7" are exclusive to the deluxe. If you order at SoundStageDirect use the code LP11 to get 11% off your order, but it's only good thru tomorrow.
