    I Want It All reminds me of a mishmash of 10cc and Sweet, bizarrely. There's a fuzzy guitar solo in there that could easily have been played by Eric Stewart.

    PS They did a fantastic cover of Drake's new song on Live Lounge today.

    I love the new album i put it up there as one of their bests, which is great news after the boring Suck it and See.

    I've only heard the singles but I'm a big fan so I've ordered the album. I get a free download of it from Amazon whilst waiting for the CD to arrive but I won't be able to download and listen to it until tomorrow as I have work this evening.

    I've heard great things so I'm looking forward to hearing it! :)

    I've finally got round to listening to the album. I haven't finished it yet but my personal favourites are:

    Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?
    Do I Wanna Know?
    Arabella
    No1 Party Anthem
    Fireside
    Snap Out Of It
    R U Mine?

    Mad Sounds is interesting.

    All in all, so far...I really like it. :)

    They certainly are. And the second biggest opening week sales of 2013 so far in the UK with 157,000 copies sold. Very impressive for a guitar/indie band lol.
    Congratulations to the unstoppable Arctic Monkeys and all at Domino Records,” comments Official Charts Company Chief Executive Martin Talbot. “Scoring a fifth Official Number 1 studio album in a row is an exceptional achievement.

    I tried to get tickets to see them in London and failed. I know a few people who are going. I'm so jealous!

    They could at least triple the size of the tour and still sell out every venue to be honest.

    Doesn't do it for me sadly this one, everything sounds a bit 'same-ish'.
