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?

yes it'll prolly go down in rock history with other 'seminal' albums & people will still talk about it in years to come... um...

it's ok, but we're so used to product hype nowadays for films, music etc and it never lives up to the marketting. It's good indie but big advanced sales orders (which is what that means) due to global media/news hype doesn't a 'long-term classic' make.

maybe the kids like it and woolworths have agreed to stock it? generally helps other pop acts dominate the chart

supposedly all their fans colluded to go out and buy it at once, which was why they've got two number ones and this fastest selling album thing. Not a bad band though.

i guess im lucky in that i never listen to the radio (dont have one), watch top of the pops or indulge in any of this z-list celebrity mush so aren't exposed to all of this, you could introduce any band i listen to and they will be better than anything in the charts at the mo, not to say i have great taste but moreso the charts is full of uninspired trite....

i feel for ya dom, i really do....

one interesting thing about this band, apart form the jam/kinks thing is the way the marketing has worked ...

the original vibe was without 'industry' support .. free downloads, myspace etc. then sony/bmg/whoever got on board and carried on with the 'no promotion' thing -

they've "not really done any interviews" ... but they've had a ton af media coverage about the lack of industry support and how they've "not really done any interviews", the guardian love them.

apart form that, i like 'i bet you look good ...' the off-kilter chords are nice.

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!
