Humbug – Arctic Monkeys

arcticmonkeys_humbug-300x300 OK! This is an early birds preview of the new album by Arctic Monkeys. My tastes aren’t exactly conventional and I don’t want to speculate on whether this will go on to break any records.

So without making any sweeping judgments for you, my opinion is that the droney voice of Alex Turner sounds just as good as before. Being a sort-of fan of these guys, Yes its worth downloading.

The tracks that stand out – for me – would be Propeller and Dangerous Animals. Propeller is seriously the best track by far. I don’t understand how there can be such a difference in the quality of tracks in one album, though.

Ratings – Mine of course : 6.5/10

[edit]

Before the edit, I had a link to the torrent I downloaded it from. Within 20min of posting this I received a comment (below) from WEB SHERIFF asking me to take my link to the torrent I downloaded it from, off the site.

Being an intelligent person I have now removed the link. You can be intelligent too and download the songs online. Torrent no. 2809220 on mininova.org.

Cheers.
