Great review Sean. Is there any chance it's you that post's on ArcticMonkeysus with the username Sean?

as much as i do love the album i was let down by welcome to the rave after hearing it live. Live it is amazing but on the album there is just far too much going on. personal favourite though has to be Are you in love with a notion? absolute belter.

absolutely love the new album - once again the wordsmithing is amazing and the tunes are a great mix of ballads and uptempo - fully agree with Sawyer - the album really takes off at track 3 VDG.
My only question (and don't crucify me) but "is it over-produced?"
Can't wait to find out if it translates to a live performance in March but am a wee bit concerned

Yep that's me! What're you on there?

RE: Anna, currently sitting at #1 in the midweeks. Wow. Get your brother, sister, mother, father and grandparents to buy it. Would be massive for the band and something they deserve.

TeddyPicker. Not a big/regular poster but just realised it was actually yourself who recommended this forum to me in the Courteeners thread on there!

Sorry for the double post but this youtube user has loads of good quality videos from the acoustic show in Preston.
