A locus for eccentrics (hopefully)

Montagues and Capulets

As I implied earlier in my Ted Leo review, I've always been a whore for the power-punk pop rock thing. I don't know if that's cool--for what it's worth, I'm also become more of a sad-bastard afficionado--but what it means is that I really like the new Arctic Monkeys album, the Arctic Monkeys being the latest in a long series of bands that've been anointed to save rock and roll in the last five years. Sonically, they're like the Libertines except with a lot less heroin-induced noodling.

So... B+? That sounds reasonable.
