I can't fucking believe they're releasing this. By far the worst song on a disappointing, mediocre album, all they're gonna do by releasing this is highlight to everyone how weak the lyrics are (Weak as fuck, in case you didn't know already...) and produce some shitty, heartfelt video to go with it. Pish. And by the way, if there's any cunt around that was willing them on when they were releasing their new album, worked on by the fuckin man himself BabyDuck Homme, it was me. So i'm not just being a greetin faced gimp. Seriously boys, you've let us down this time.Btw... what was wrong with bringing out, say, 'Potion approaching' or 'Pretty visitors'? Even 'Fire and the thud' would've done us nicely.

Cornerstone is to humbug what mardy bum was to whatever and what fluorescent was to favorite. I can see why they chose it as a single. Its going to be one of the more popular tracks on the album for the people who dont want to delve deeper into it. I personally think this album is a great listen and has its own feeling much like the other two. It seems arctic monkeys may be one of those bands who evolve throughout their career and take new steps with every album, but i dont see that as a bad thing. Whatever people say i am was a classic album but im glad we haven't heard two more albums from the arctics with no progression. Take note 'The Kooks'
