Fastest selling album in history. What's the appeal? Have the caught a moment or something?

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?

thing is tho, it used to be that distinctly & obviously 'better' groups got it, now it seems it's just the luck of the draw. Any reasonably decent band will do. I cant say the AM are better (as musicians or writers) than alot of the unsigned bands playing around town... no better or worse, but there it is.

They're OK but don't deserve all the accolades they get. Hard-fi are way better.

Its all the fault of the idiot Jo Whiley and muppey boy Zane Lowe.. It seems that if they say a band is good the whole nation beleives it and rushes out to buy the album.

P.S now you should all go and buy the XXV Gathering by Killing Joke! NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

and the problem with wiley is you never get the impression that she really likes all these bands, just knows she should be saying that she does.

The woman is extremely annoying, what with permenantly being stuck up the flavour of the months' arse...

Jo Whiley's a skanky slut but she sure knows how to chug cock... Get Jo chugging yours and I'm sure you'll have a smash hit album too!
