No, the record is actually extremely shit. And that 'Vampires' song is one of the WORST songs on there (I had to review it for Subjectivisten (http://www.subjectivisten.org/archives/002130.php#002130), is how I know).
I didn't like the k-punk article AT ALL, the Arsetic Monkeys thing being the only OTM remark there.
The k-punk article annoyed me too, even though (perhaps precisely because) I have probably expressed identical thoughts 10+ years w.r.t. britpop. No old person likes being reminded of their younger selves. Right now I would much rather read an anti-rockist appreciation of the AMs than another "we (pop) could have it so much better" rant.
Simon's piece may or may not be it. I've only skimmed it thus far. I also had high hopes that mike t-diva might be the one to write such a piece - he actually went to queue for tickets for the AMs gig in Nottingham, only to be turned away empty handed - but he actually seems to like them (and indie in general) for k-rockist reasons.
For the record, I like both the AMs' singles, but that's all I've heard.
