Can someone explain the Arctic Monkeys hype to me? I've heard the song a lot, but it doesn't seem especially interesting, different, earth-shattering, or anything else that would justify the way every DJ or music magazine seems to be drooling and fawning over them. The chorus is mildly catchy, but the same thing goes for half the songs on the

I haven't heard the entire record and don't intend to seeing as the hype and overplaying of the single already has me annoyed.

i really like the single. maybe because it mentions dancing like a robot to electropop? or maybe because i first heard it while i was out dancing with friends. haha. who knows, but even though i really love that song, i don't think the hype is well-placed. it's not all that different, really, from what's been done before.

oh I cannot agree more!

I'm glad to hear I'm not alone. I have nothing against them, I just don't get what the big deal is!

I realize my comment on this is delayed somewhat... But I'm so glad I'm not the only one out there terribly confused by all the hype.

I was actually going to see them last month, but was bribed out of a ticket by someone who's sister was flying in from England for a visit. Not that I cared a great deal... I have heard the CD (preparation to see a band I didn't know) and the music is okay. It's semi-different than what is out, I guess... The only people I know who keep saying they are going to be huge come from England, so maybe they are speaking from that perspective?

This just seemed a little overboard. The dude who cuts my hair was even gushing over them, and I'm hoping that radio payola hasn't infiltrated Super Cuts.
