After hastily clicking on this webpage (anything that has 'Arctic Monkeys' and 'brand new' in the title, i'll go to it...) , I had a listen to this new song, and I'm impressed over all. They've evolved so much since Whatever...., and from their last album, it's clear to see that they're moving to on deeper music. Turner's voice is smooth velvet on this track, giving it a darker sound. What would I rate it? 8/10.

It sounds like "Do Me A Favour," if The Last Shadow Puppets and him out of Queens of the Stone Age got their hands on it.Oh.

Seems like a 'gettin into' tune but gonna buy the record regardless! Wish they would tidy up their image though, they look like a bunch of tramps now haha!

well it had to happen eventually... it sounds like a (bad) b-side from the last album, and I do not hear the the QOTSA influence anywhere, and when did alex join suede.

Arctic monkeys are piss poor.I didnt jump onto the bandwagon when people were bumming 'whatever people say..blah-blah-crap'...and I'm glad didn't. They're a mediocre band.

I think their new stuff is excellent! There is also an amazing blog and videos by The Sheriff on their website (they guy who put all the songs online originally). He's been following them around for the whole tour. http://www.arcticmonkeys.com/news.php?type=1
