Is it just me, or have we been waiting for this arctic monkeys album for ages. I mean wasn't it ,,almost finished'' last october. then everybody thought something great was coming after they played some new songs in New Zealand. But that was like 4 months ago. come on remind us why we all thought you were great at the start, by getting some new material out there!!

The piece of paper that keeps changing has the names of the new songs off the album on. So there's songs called 'Dangerous Animals', 'Propellor', 'Crying Lightning' and 'Secret Door' on the record. I'm clever me.
