Do you know what makes me laugh?

The people who decide who has created the 'worst' album must have some serious self esteem issues. What type of human being kicks someone when they are down?

I wonder if one the artic monkeys was at the lowest point in their life, would you proceed to s**t on them? I very much doubt it.

Maybe you get pleasure from seeing attractive people fail and see their lives take a turn for the worst. I, however do not. I suggest that the NME readers, journalists, critics stick to what they knwo i.e. indie/rock. As it is obvious you have a bias opinion anyway, why force it on others?? Why not criticise music you know something about?

What the people at NME clearly lack in personality, integrity and empathy they obviously make up for in mallice. PATHETIC.

well done NME you have officially sunk to a new low!
