Quickly becoming an Arctic monkeys where the fans seem to think they’re much more important than they actually are which is fucking insufferable

Never listened before. Gave the new album a quick listen. Actually really enjoying it. I like a big, ambitious pop album every now and again.

Well surmised, a big ambitious pop album is exactly what it is. Three weeks in and it’s some of the less showy tracks- Surrounded by Heads and Bodies, Inside Your Mind and How to Draw/Petrichor which are really standing out. Curious to see the extreme reaction their music provokes, however, I bet the band love seeing forums like these filling up with all the praise and bile.

I know mostly every song on the album sounds like something else but It’s Not Living is really killing me right now. The chorus is identical to something but can’t put my finger on it…

I think it sounds like a Belinda Carlisle song. Not exactly sure which one, so i’ll just say it sounds like all Belinda Carlisle songs.

The chorus hook is ‘Heaven Is A Place On Earth’. Rest of the song is a ridiculous facsimile of Neon Neon’s ‘I Told Her On Alderaan’. Like, Gruff Rhys deserves a cheque.

Anyone seen them on this tour? Fucking brilliant last night, they gave absolutely everything and the crowd were feverish from the front to the gods, completely drowned them out for half the show! Every bit as good as the arcade fire last year - I love seeing a band get a big show right. The set was absolutely eye popping as well.

Yep, going tonight. Really looking forward to it, of course. Glad you enjoyed last night.

Yeah. Apart from seeing them at Reading a few times, I’ve only ever been to a gig of theirs in Prague, so am yet to experience their UK fans in full fury. I think i’ll enjoy the fans.

Saw them in Belfast. Proper eye popping set and all. Bit of a lul in the set list when they did loads of ballads but sure gave me time to piss.

Liked how they played loads of fan favourites. The encore was fucking banging too, ‘the sound’ in particular

Oh, and their drummer is stellar

Every couple of months I open this thread, remember that someone already wrote “in pog form”, and close it again

That Black Jaguar with matching headstock is fit.

It sounds like how someone who knows nothing about the year 1993 thinks how 1993 sounds like after looking at a couple of pictures.
