At a secret show Saturday night at the 900-capacity Leadmill in Sheffield, Arctic Monkeys previewed the spiky guitars and wry witticisms from their forthcoming record Favourite Worst Nightmare, including “D Is For Dangerous,” which sounds like the love child of first album cuts “When The Sun Goes Down” and the “I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor.” Hear it at YouTube (the vid is crap but the audio is quite stylish). The A’Monks performed six more newbies, like “Brianstorm,” “This House Is Circus,” “Balaclava,” and “Fluorescent Adolescent,” which is clever ’cause it rhymes.
Favourite Worst Nightmare is out 4/23 in the UK (4/24 in North America) on Domino.

Erm…
All i can say is, aren’t they awful live? they can barely play, and Alex whatsisname sounds like he can barely speak. Drunk?
please don’t judge live abilities on youtube vids. They are great live.
They were great here in August. Can’t wait for the new one. But still the worst “band name-to-music quality” ratio in history.
CRC,
I’m not, i’ve seen them play myself here in england before and didn’t think much of them then either. It would seem that things haven’t improved.
paid for advertisement post?
both times i saw them live were amazing concerts. that song is a little dull.
I’ve seen them play for 400, 800 and 2500. They were amazing every time.
By far, the worst band name-to-music quality is The Beatles
wat the hell! do u know music? they’re like effotrlessly good! better than bloody muse or the crap u lot listen to!
