Arctic Monkeys – Crying Lightning Video + Album Leaks Predictably
I still am not digging Crying Lightning as much as other people seem to be. Despite the guitar work (being that it’s good), it’s an okay song. While it seems apparent that it’s not okay to call a song average, I’ll continue to do so.I should really temper expectations with music videos. Only a handful a year are good so I guess I should just hold myself back a little .
I shouldn’t be mad and they are in the ocean while it rains in an awful background while the band just plays. It does afterall go with their song. I guess my problem, is that the song while average does have more energy then the band is showing. The band is bored in the middle of the ocean while playing…. I do dig Alex Turner’s hairstyle actually seems sexy (no homo) and makes it look a older as he’s a bit of babyface. Yeah, I’ve got nothing left to talk about. Video is very meh.
Check out the video:
Crying Lightning by Arctic Monkeys
Anyway, the album predictably leaked. Bloggers putting up mp3s will get this message. I feel like after being bossed around by RoadRunner records, I’d want to leak Arctic Monkey’s record (just to receive such a nice message lol). That message is both pure class and so respectful – that’s one way of handling it and people do respect your wishes if you are nice about it. Considering we don’t leak material ever, I guess I’ll go on being deceitful. (I’m not dropping this topic, I’ll take my shots at RR where I can).
Still, Humbug – awful title aside is an album worth checking out in my opinion. At least expect the blogosphere to have their panties in a bunch over this album regardless.

I had somehow managed to never hear of the Arctic Monkeys before reading this post. It’s good stuff, I’ll have to check out more of their music. I agree the video is meh. It looks a bit like the budget wasn’t quite big enough to really pull off what they were trying to do.
Good post! Thanks!
