first up, i think the mass popularity of the monkeys cloud the fact that they are a real good band for a bunch of, lets face it, kids who just wanna play good songs. dancefloor is a kick ass song and so is about 75% of the first album but now this new, long awated eagerly anticipated album arrived and i think its a bag of shite. thy have become so big that the music now kinda is formulaic to the point that they now have found out how to write hit songs. half the glory in the first album is that they werent trying to write hit songs..... thats the fun part, thats when talent shines, not when you become old hats at the game by the time you are 20. fair play to the monkeys th, they are gonna dissappear of my radar but not off millions of others............
