Music I'm having trouble with

As diversified as I am and as much as I love music, there are still times when I just can't get into something. Regardless of hype or music snobbery, there are some albums I hear and feel...well...close to nothing. Other than the wonderment of why the bands are doing so well. Forgive me for being harsh, but sometimes that just has to be done.

I cannot get into the Arctic Monkeys. No, I've tried. I've listened. There is so much talk going on about the band that I almost feel wrong NOT to like them. But to each their own and just because they don't float my boat doesn't mean they are dead weights.

What I hear are empty songs with pretentious lyrics sung by guys who just want to feel the lights on a stage. How many times should you really play the exact same guitar rift...? Listen to "Fake Tales of San Francisco" Tell me seriously, is it a freaking loop or what?



Go ahead, send hate e-mail it's okay. We all have our own views, that's what makes life so fun!
