With the Olympic closing ceremony, the Glastonbury headline slot and the gradual drip-releasing of new material, the wait for Arctic Monkeys' latest album AM feels like an age - but was it worth it?
When the lads from Sheffield dropped 'R U Mine?' last year, the track was mostly adored - which is saying something when you consider that everything that they've released since Favourite Worst Nightmare has divided opinion among fans. Many were left pining for the short-sharp indie dancefloor anthems of their early work, while others hailed the expansion and evolution on Humbug and Suck It & See.
It seems that AM has proven equally as divisive. Now that fans have had a few days to live with the album, we scoured Twitter to find out what the Monkeys' fans make of Alex Turner and co's fifth effort. Is it 'effortlessly smooth' or 'depressing shit'?
