Babylon Posted 22 January 2006 Share Posted 22 January 2006 Wasn't keen but the last two singles have grown on me the more i've listened to them. Still hyped up beyond belief mind you. All the "oh he's such a poet" crap spouted by nme readers really does my head in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveyJ Posted 22 January 2006 Share Posted 22 January 2006 Like who? Blink 182/Sum 41/New Found Glory meets Razorlight/Snow Patrol etc Their all right but their not that good. The songs are all fairly similar, upstrumming with a broad yorkshire accent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head Honcho Posted 22 January 2006 Share Posted 22 January 2006 I thought I'd just gloat at my prediction coming true (note dated septemeber the 1st, pre-mega-hype) on the eve of their second single going to number one as will their debut album. Going to see them for a second time on the 11th, its going to be brilliant! Why has "Scummy" been changed to "When the sun goes down"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultra Posted 22 January 2006 Share Posted 22 January 2006 Their album's out tomorrow. Can't wait. It's gonna be the biggest-selling debut album EVER!

Head Honcho Posted 22 January 2006 Share Posted 22 January 2006 I thought it was called "When The Sun Goes Down (Scummy)" I dunno! I always thought it was called just Scummy but I may be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libertine Posted 22 January 2006 Share Posted 22 January 2006 I dunno! I always thought it was called just Scummy but I may be wrong Yeh, they changed it to Sun Goes Down. No idea why. I'll try to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head Honcho Posted 22 January 2006 Share Posted 22 January 2006 Yeh, they changed it to Sun Goes Down. No idea why. I'll try to find out. Probably something to do with the BBC refusing to play it in case they offend Scumbags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libertine Posted 22 January 2006 Share Posted 22 January 2006 Probably something to do with the BBC refusing to play it in case they offend Scumbags I honestly wouldn't be at all surprised if that were the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head Honcho Posted 22 January 2006 Share Posted 22 January 2006 I honestly wouldn't be at all surprised if that were the case. and so here we are, footprints on the ceiling and screaming the words in each others faces, sharing in it like a party we might have hoped it could have been had we closed our eyes and dreamed hard enough on the bus on the way into town. An Arctic Monkey or four screaming at I the Rev Rarsclart, eyes bulging, faces red with the joy of it all. London, Glasgow, Wakefield wherever... And the people who have shared it. Those who felt some connection with getting on their Dancing Shoes, a Mardy Bum or Scummy Man or something. There's these moments on which it all turns. I have two or three, London, a French Kiss in the Chaos. Maybe even a full house and not Al, as lead singer. You might have others where you first felt something stir in your belly. Or you might be reading all this and this is your first taste if the whole thing. Not that it should ever be exclusive, like a club or anything nasty like that, or a commodity. Like a big mac meal or something. It‚s more. Its everyman and for I, that is the point of it all, the message and the romance. For as we approach yet more forks in the road, bear left or turn right I hope that may continue. Cos‚ after all what is it if not an adventure? Like getting on a bus to the other end of town and your not really sure where it goes but you get on anyway. As I started out the Arctic's four screaming faces, spoke to the people who had traveled for eight hours in a micra, or as I tried to sleep, listening out of the window at some drunken lads singing dancing shoes at four in the morning, it dawned on me that there are no leaders in all this or no plan or scheme, other than what's unfolding. People understanding it, relating to it, not relating to it but dancing to it, whatever. Everythings happened yet nothings really happened at all. Why set flags in the sand, it could all end tomorrow and it be back to the local and the chippy afterwards, or it could run and run and run to places unknown. Dreams and schemes and bla bla bla. But the reasons it started are as pure today as they ever were and that's gotta be a damm sight better then formed a band, drank some JD, took some drugs, had some birds or whatevers cool these days. All thats left to say is, welcome to anyone and long live it all say... Well there it is! It was definitely called Scummy Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultra Posted 22 January 2006 Share Posted 22 January 2006 It was originally called "Scummy Man". I think they might have changed the title to ensure the track got a little more airplay.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrev Posted 23 January 2006 Author Share Posted 23 January 2006 Most of the tracks didn't have titles but and it only picked up the name "scummy" because that is what fans had labelled the mp3 files. Apparently the band had never called it that or anything else other than when the sun goes down. The album is blinding but I think a couple of the tracks could have been cut out of it and Bigger Boys and Stolen Sweethearts should have been in there.

CosbehFox Posted 23 January 2006 Share Posted 23 January 2006 The Album is upon us, the album of the decade, no other band apart from the Streets have written about working-class Britain like this. An album full of stories about the weekend. I'm just here to clafily a few things through my opinion. 1. NME. Wankers. Install them as their own. When they have rightly built their success on downloads plus mainly the music be good. 2. Every decade/generation needs a band which symbolises the public feelings and culture. They have pulled it off in making a masterpiece, A Certain Romance is one of the best tracks ever. Listen to lyrics super good. Alex Turner isn't a poet, just a master storyteller. Concerns 1. Over-production. See Bigger Boys And Stolen Sweethearts B-Side. 2. The AM are writing songs about their surroundings, I just hope it continues as the AM's get swallowed up by the Music industry. All in all, well done Arctic Monkeys, they have created a sound for our generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babylon Posted 23 January 2006 Share Posted 23 January 2006 I can't see it beating Definitely Maybe as the fastest selling debut Album that sold 7 Million Especially now days with with people nicking them off the net. Then again back then people jusst taped the albums off other people so i suppose there has always been that going on. I'd be amazed if this record was still selling thousands of copies a year in ten years time like Def' Maybe still is. Good luck to the guys though. I just hope they can live upto the hype!!

Babylon Posted 23 January 2006 Share Posted 23 January 2006 I can't see it beating Definitely Maybe as the fastest selling debut Album that sold 7 Million They are on course to break week ONE sales figures. Def maybe was something like 50k in the first week I think. May be wrong but i'm sure i read that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babylon Posted 23 January 2006 Share Posted 23 January 2006 I've always wondered how they define fastest selling debut Album Like if Linford Christie got the first one and ran out of the shop? That would be a quick selling debut album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
