I love the new Arctic Monkeys album. I was a bit afraid of it at first after having heard the live sessions and many reviewers calling it "difficult" but it's not difficult at all: it's very enjoyable and just brilliant. What a band!

About half of it I really like and about half I can do without. I don't like their harder side. (hence why I much prefer Last Shaddow Puppets.)

I love that Mumford and Sons tune. Very Old Crowe Medicine Show-esque.
