Let the Arctic Monkeys backlash begin


I can't possibly be the only one around who thinks the Arctic Monkeys--the so-called "Biggest New Band Since Oasis"--are kind of a snooze. I just don't get all the hype. (For a somewhat less enthusiastic, though definitely more useful discussion, clicky here.) Their performance last weekend on SNL was sleep-inducing. I've listened to the album several times and am completely underwhelmed.

Morrissey--a Genuine Musical Genius--recently dogged them, but has since--disappointingly--backed off. Sigh.

Am I missing something here?
