For those of you around my age the artic monkeys caught a mood when they first came on the scene. The tracks on the first two albums appealed to those who didn't really have an interest in music. I am with a few on here that struggled with them after the first two. Don't get wrong, they very rarely do a bad track, the urge to keep that album in the cd player/ on the turn table and streaming site just doesn't seem to be there.
They have reached the stage oasis got to. All the media hype, within a week people will go " heard the new oasis album? It's alright" move on.
Speaking of listening to stuff The LA's by The LA's.
