Review: Arctic Monkeys - 'Stop The World I Wanna Get Off With You'

In the lead up to their brand new album, the Arctic Monkeys have excited us with a few teaser tracks, some taken from the album, like 'Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?' and a couple of b-sides such as '2013,' which was not as well received as I expected, and this one. 

I find it extremely hard to believe that 'Stop The World I  Wanna Get Off With You' has not made it onto the LP as it is certainly one of their most credible releases this year. This track sees confident, boastful guitars and drums protruded by Turner's current lyrical theme of trying to 'get with' a certain someone. This track is by far their catchiest yet (from this year anyway) and it definitely reflects the brand new style they have adopted on their new material. Even though it is only a b-side, this track definitely deserves some serious attention! It just goes to show how credible the Arctic Monkeys have become. If their b-sides are this good, what can we expect from them in the future?
