Arctic Monkeys Suck It And See Sucks?
Although I see where you're coming form as far as I'm concerned Suck it and See is far better than Humbug, Humbug was the beginning of something a bit different for Arctic Monkeys but I'm not quite sure that they pulled it off, whereas with Suck it and See i think that they succeeded in doing what they failed in Humbug. I think that Suck it and See is like the older brother of Humbug, who is the kid who sits in the corner not talking to anyone. Suck it and See did what Humbug couldn't, what Humbug was trying to do. And yes, they have taken a different direction from their earlier stuff, but if you are a true fan you will respect the bands decision and back them all the way. I agree the Whatever People Say I Am was their best, and possibly the best they will ever achieve, but that doesn't mean that their new stuff isn't worth listening to, it's still a lot better than a lot of the music around and, if you we weren't comparing it to the older Monkeys I'm sure that we would like it and see it for what it is, rather than thinking that it isn't as good as what has been. And a band should change if they want to, music for most (good) bands isn't about what others will like and what will sell, it's for them, and if they feel inclined to write like they did on Suck it it should be their decision, as they are the ones who are writing it from their hearts.
