No Bakery Song :o Still I'm so bloody excited about this now :cheer:

 

NOTE: Brianstorm is NOT a typo apparently :o

Some very interesting song titles there, I can just imagine them being faster than the previous stuff as Arctic Monkeys have said they will be. :D I want to hear 'The Bakery Song,' but perhaps they will use it as a future b-side insted. :) Hopefully we will get to hear 'Brianstorm,' by the end of this month. :D

Earlier than I expected! :o :cheer:

 

Album will be released April 30th then! :D ^_^ I'm loving the title for the album as well. :lol:

 

Hopefully the new single should get its first play within the next few weeks. :D ^_^

According to NME's website the single is released April 16th and album April 23rd. :unsure:

My bad. :lol:

 

I read the article wrong. :lol: I thought the single was coming out on the 23rd and then the album the following week. :P Seems the album is coming out on the 23rd though! :D ^_^

 

The single should be gets its first airplay even sooner then. :lol: ^_^

I expect they will let Radio 1 give it it's first play which is never a bad choice aslong as it's played on the correct show. :D

Yep I think it will as well! :D ^_^ It will be played on either Jo Whiley's show as her pet sound or Zane Lowe's hottest record in the world. :D If it's not getting its first airplay on Radio 1 then I expect it to air on XFM. :P

It definitley will be a much bigger occasion than 'Leave Before The Lights Come On,' as this single has to bode for the album. :D I think that tracklist answers the question of 'Leave Before The Lights Come On,' being on the album or not, that is if it isn't a bonus track?

It should be a much bigger occasion that LBTLCO. ^_^ And yes it does answer our questions. :P I don't think it will be included on the album at all now.

 

Looking at the tracklisting though some of the song titles seem really random. :lol: Mind you the majority of songs from their debut weren't exactly your average song names were they? :lol:

I actually think the song titles make the album sound exciting, they must have really used some innoative to have though of titles such as 'Brianstorm,' and 'Teddy Picker.' :lol: Now that they've set our hopes up the judgement relies on whether the album is as good as it actually sounds. :)

Brianstorm is gonna get on my nerves. :arrr: I keep wanting it to be Brainstorm. :lol: #

 

But well if it's been released as the first single then everyone must seem to hate it highly! ^_^

I actually read 'Brainstorm,' when I first saw the article, it was only when Nicky pointed out about it being 'Brianstorm,' that I actually noticed. :lol:

I've just realised that Mutya is releasing 'Real Girl,' on the same week as Arctic Monkeys release 'Brianstorm.' :o I realise she's no threat to Arctic's but it would make things a lot easier for her if she changed the week she was releasing imo. :lol:

I did exactly the same thing when reading the titles. :lol:

 

Yeah she probably could have released a better week. :P But still we shall just see. :lol: Y'never know, she could do better than you think. :P

I'm looking forward to the new album.

I'm expecting her to flop worse than Alesha did with 'Lipstick.' :lol: I hope that I am suprised and she does well though. ^_^

I wouldn't expect Mutya to do so badly, she's not manufactured like EVERY other ex-band member who releases stuff

 

And as for the monkeys to quote Daft Punk the new album sounds Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger :lol:

I would like to hope that Mutya manages to have similar sucess to Beyonce, Justin and Robbie but personally I know I would be kidding myself believing that. :lol: I just hope she does reasonably well and that the album is actually as good as expected. ^_^

 

That description makes Arctic's new album sound very promising aswell, so it had better be a good one. :lol: ^_^

Loving the Daft Punk comparison. :lol:

Maybe not that big mate :lol: but an Amy Winehouse type success

 

Anyways, I have a feeling that AM aren't going to sucumb(?) to the 2nd album troubles most bands seem to, but I wonder if they can top the intensity of View from The Afternoon, that's a great instrumental in itself
