And so here it is then, in the flesh, this years most eagerly awaited single and in it's full glory I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor is 'quality'. The shorter 'diet' version that's been doing the rounds on the web was just about right, but with an intro and an outro nailed on either end it's even better. I Bet You Look Good... is basically a nocturnal tale casually layed over the most energetic guitar/drum fest you'll hear all year, vodka and red bull on disc. We're off out on the pull with the Monkeys and it aint going very well, and by bed time they've resorted to oggling over the lass in Spar. It's fantastic fayre, enjoyable from the beginning to the end, and it will undoubtedly shift bucketloads. It's a testimant to the following the Arctic Monkeys have gained that only 2000 people actually own a legally produced song of their's yet they're selling out gigs across the UK in record time. And here lies the key to the Monkeys unbelievable fanbase - relation - they are one of us. Yes there are other bands out there doing the same, but they aint talking about fit birds dancing to electro pop like a robot from 1984. These aren't the prententious skinny tie wearing plonkers who feel it's there duty do be seen at fashion shows to get record deals. The Arctic Monkeys are REAL. It's similar to how the Sex Pistols went about making songs back in the late 70s, but without the cultural shift. So while in the South deluded gliterati snort and smoke there way onto the front pages and into clinics, us Northerners are getting high on life.
