Arctic Love

So, Arctic Monkeys: First album, huge! Second album, huge! Third album, huge! Fourth albums are always trickier, still, huge! So, I guess it goes without saying, but we're talking about a pretty huge band - pretty huge fan too! NME gave "Suck It And See" a 9/10 and said, quote, "They've aced it, well and truly". True story. But today you don't get a professional album review, you just get a music video and my personal opinion.

Considering the title of the song, it didn't surprise me that an attractive-near-naked-girl would stroll around a motel with her badass boyfriend by her side. Although the song tells the story of a guy who's head over heels for this one of a kind gal, who doesn't exactly love him back, the video is kind of the other way around. A girl who's in love with a complete douchebag, who, besides her obvious good looks and demanding attention, just couldn't care less about her... Aww! And they say romance is dead! 

So yeah, this is yet another "love vs. hate" scenario, but the video is actually pretty cool and the song is simply amazing. Oh, Fun Fact: the on-screen couple is actually the bands drummer Matt Helders and real-life girlfriend - move over Alexa Chung!
