Posted November 3, 200618 yr Alex Turner has spoken about the crazy year of success endured by Arctic Monkeys, and that it still hasn't distracted him from writing more songs. Speaking to Uncut magazine Turner said: "I can’t stop writing songs, I don’t know what else I’m going to do." He also admitted that the new album will not carry the tempo that debut record-breaking album "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not" did, adding that some may even be played acoustically: "I’ve written quite a few slower ones- there’s 13 or 14 songs, maybe a few more, in different states." Laurence Bell, head of Domino Records has already heard one of the new songs, which Turner named "Brain Storm": "Very bright and metallic – it’ll shock a few people." is what Bell had to say about the track. To read more on what looks like a promising interview, get the December issue of Uncut magazine, out now.

November 5, 200618 yr It sounds like it could be another solid album. :D Glad that they're going to experiment with their sound a bit whether it be for better or worse. :)

I'm quite sure NME have a backlash prepared for them at the very least seeing as they have a tendancy to build artists hype up to the hilt then when they return with a 2nd album they tend to get tired of them. I doubt the follow-up will sell aswell as the debut but I think they would still be pretty secure for #1 on a quiet week, but I think they also need to return with an indie disco track along the lines of (Dancing Shoes/IBYLGOTD)

Yeah the fans will buy the album regardless of how bad the lead single might be, but they need to reach out to those people who are casual buyers and who wouldn't normally class themselves as an Arctics fan. ^_^

November 6, 200618 yr Author I'm sure they will manage to comeback with a great single anyway, but it was proven that it will have to be something more mainstream than 'Leave Before The Lights Come On,' was. I think the new single they bring out will be very mainstream. :o I'm expecting it to be very catchy for some reason. :o and at the same time I think it will have a bit of a different edge to some of their stuff they've already released. ^_^
November 17, 200618 yr Author new album still due early next year? I don't know exactly. I think its possible that it will be out sometime next year though. :D But not in January as there would have been more information about it already I think. :unsure:
