I loved most of the tunes with the exception of R U Mine? All the others were really top notch.
WHA WHAT?
Easily the best song on the album.
It's actually my favorite thing they've ever recorded.
It just doesn't do it for me. Feels too familiar, they've got tons of songs that sound like R U Mine? to my ears at least. But other than that this album is top notch.
"Who'll pick you up when you're spread too thin, when the walls you built are closing in around you? I found you...."
wow! great album after the first listen. i don't really like the last album, which was more like a nice try to go in a new direction but this is really thought through
I would never call a gay guy a faggot – unless he’s being a faggot. If I would watch two dudes blowin’ each other, I would be respectful to them. But if one of them would put the dick out of his mouth and start saying annoying faggy things like ›People from Phoenix are Phoenicians‹ or something like that, I would say: ›Quit being a faggot and suck that dick! - Louis Ck

Although i don't agree with you totally, i will be very very very surprised if i find R U Mine to be the weakest tune on the album. Maybe people have heard it too much now, i dont know. Great song though IMO, but then again i like almost ALL of the monkeys tunes.
Yet to even hear the album though in truth, a little jealous as EVERYONE else seems to have heard it, at least i know the wait will be worth it.

I agree with you the fact it's been out for a while now so people would be too used to it now. I don't think the album has a weak track on it, it's a really wonderful album full of catchy numbers and hooks. I love R u Mine a lot.
I actually heard R U Mine? only once or twice when it came out so for me at least its not that it's been out long, compared to the other songs on the album it doesn't grip me.

I'm not gonna beat around the bush, "Knee Socks" is a fucking proper tune!
Along with 11 other tracks on the album, I'm a massive Monkey's fan and even they shocked me at how great this album is. I have to agree with something you said earlier Lennon, that the album is well produced, it's all out sheen. It's made to be huge. One for the Road or Snap out of it got to be the next single releases. No 1 Party Anthem has Lennon solo written all over it, wonderful track.

R U Mine? is my favourite Arctic Monkeys tune, absolute belter imo. Have only heard the album on the iTunes stream and wasn't paying attention to which track was which but really liked what I heard. Agree with what Josh Homme said, "It’s a really cool, sexy after-midnight record. It’s not disco [as such], but it’s like a modern, dancefloor sexy record."
So buy a fucking t-shirt and a poster on the way out you fuckers!
