April 22, 201114 yr Couldn't care less how the cover looks like. What I do care about is the music - same quality as Don't sit down and I'll be thrilled. Did like the Cut Copy cover alot though.
April 24, 201114 yr As long as the music's good I'm not bothered and I like what I've heard so far. That said, I saw this and the new Bon Iver cover on the same day and I know what I prefer ...
April 25, 201114 yr yeah so clever The Beatles did it over 40 years ago. Do you mean the 'White album'? That one had no title (which was only suggested by the white cover) on it and only the band's name. The "Suck it and see" album hasn't the band's name of it, only the title, so it's the opposite situation actually. So it's not the same "trick" at all to be fair... I mean, yeah kind of the same logic if you wanna go that way, but it's still pretty much different and the "Suck it and see" cover stands on it own, no need to refer to an album released in 1968 to draw a comparaison...

April 25, 201114 yr Author Yet again a very interesting post from you :/ Your post was just that remarkable Bert. Just because The White Album only had the band name, and this has the album name does not make them entirley different concepts? This has been done before and it's just not original or clever anymore. Here's a similar example: http://motherjones.com/files/legacy/riff_blog/mojo-cover-hardfi.JPG
April 25, 201114 yr http://spiritdimension.com/music/aphex-twin-mixes-for-cash-cd.jpg http://www.amiright.com/album-covers/images/album-The-Dandy-Warhols-The-Dandy-Warhols-Dandy-Warhols-Rule-OK.jpg http://static.midomi.com/a/pop/cov200/drd600/d650/200_d6505962921.jpg http://assets.thequietus.com/images/articles/1209/neu_1235647396_crop_300x300.jpg thats just off the top of my head. and mostly are inspired by The Beatles, much like Arctic Monkeys clearly are. it's a boring and overdone way to do a cover. especially considering how interesting the 'Humbug' cover was. as james said just because The Beatles has the band name and AM's have the album name doesnt mean they are different, what the words actually say mean nothing when it comes to the design.
April 26, 201114 yr ok , not the most original idea ever but at least you have to suck it n see the difference...
April 26, 201114 yr To be fair, the Beatles idea has been nicked far more blatantly by many other bands in the past - pretty much any album called "The *insert colour here* Album" (except for Jay-Z's Black Album) so that's Metallica, Weezer three times and probably others.

May 9, 201114 yr Listen to 'Reckless Serenade' HERE. :wub: This has somewhat given me hope that the album still might be good...
May 14, 201114 yr Author Arctic Monkeys have also made a guest appearance at Radio 1 Big Weekend today!
May 14, 201114 yr I have precious little desire for this new album. I don't think there's a single Arctic Monkeys song I like as little as 'Don't Sit Down...'
