| Re: "Arctic Monkeys," Music Reviews, May 31-June 6, 2007.
What was the point of getting Jesse Locke, a man who hates the Arctic Monkeys, to review their album? They may be the "darlings of the N.M.E" but English music journalists are generally the most fickle middle-class arseholes in the world. If the Arctic Monkeys can win their hearts, it's a huge achievement. They are successful, they have been hyped and you are, of course, entitled to your opinion, but a review should at least be somewhat objective. In that much you failed miserably as a journalist.
