When you've been drip fed the same melancholic meanderings of the Coldplays, the Keanes, the Killers and their clones... I can see how you wouldn't 'get' the AM's.
They've suffered a crushing amount of hype unfortunately, but as a guy who has been listening to them since long before they became the trendy thing to talk about, I've got nothing but love and respect for their endeavours to breath some originality into the chart by being audibly, visually and lyricly different. Especially for their age.
'Dancing Shoes' currently rocks my existence.
Best of luck to them.

Neither are Coldplay or Keane? Assuming he wasn't insinuating they were.
I like the Arctic Monkeys. I'm not a critic so I don't really care why, or whether they'll be around in five years, or how many instruments they can play. But they sound good and make me wanna dance. So someone did their job right.
Plus their singer is kinda hot.

I think calling "Sugar We're Going Down" another average punk song is pretty silly. It's distinct, if mostly for the vocals.
They have a knack for writing catchy tunes.

More a 'give me a year or so to sort that out and there's no way you'd chuck me out of your bed' kinda way.

They're all between the ages of 18-19 I believe.
"take this to your grave" was a killer album. however, "from under the cork tree" i could take or leave.
There is something crazy about the Fall Out Boy's singer's voice that reminds me of the Proclaimers :-O!
Ya... I think there's something wrong with my ears.

The media is out of control. It's official.
Fall-Out Boy don't sound that bad to me. I've only heard their big single though.
They write decent stuff and recorded the singer's voice doesn't kill kittens anymore but they are horrible live as my friends have told me.
---Anyone perfect must be lying, anything easy has its cost, Anyone plain can be lovely, anyone loved can be lost, What if I lost my direction? What if I lost sense of time? What if I nursed this infection? Maybe the worst is behind---
Bands like that are more about showmanship than sounding good live. Same with the likes of Blink 182. If you just go to a show to be entertained, they do a good job of it. It's just their antics are at the expense of the music.

I adore Fall Out Boy. Have both their albums, yes some of the songs sound a bit similar, but when they sound so freakin' good for a start, does it really matter???
If you havn't heard "I've got a dark alley and a bad idea that says you should shut your mouth" (FUTCT) yet then you owe it to yourself to get it this instant. Beautifull punky/rocky/poppy ballady thingy.
Long live FOB!
...or write particularly good songs.
But bless him, he has the occasional decent lyric. And apparantly that's enough to earn you fifth place in the Greatest British albums list.
That's six places above the Bends.
The NME have really lost it this time.
Hahahahaha. You'd do well to listen very carefully to NME, and then consider the exact opposite of what they say. That way it might have some sort of substance.
