I had unrealistically high hopes for this, but after five listens, it is even better.

Damn, if only i could be that fatty little boy in the church where the two best boys sing X))
Anyway, this song is so different from Arctic Monkeys, kinda epic and full of danger. And the chorus too ^.^

I so did not expect it to sound like this. Sounds like something you would have heard as a theme tune for a 60's/70's cop show with the strings and horn sections...but in a good way!!!! Glad to see them diversing from the sound of the Arctics and providing something different!

Video is epic, song sounds kind of reminiscent of "Knights of Cydonia" ...the album should be really interesting.

knights of cyndonia
i think its one of the best things turner has done though, and the use of strings almost make me which he'd used some on '...worst nightmare' like on 505 or do me a favour
nothing other to be said that already hasnt, brillaint.

That is a dreadful song, and as for the video, come on, the word that springs to mind is 'shite'. Never the less, I have no doubt people will call it a 'masterpiece' as it has Alex Turner's name in it. I m a bit dissapointed actually, especially being such a big 'Monkeys' fan.
