In what is to be the last release before the Arctic Monkeys disappear and write material for their second album, ‘Leave Before The Lights Come On’ is once again a witty social commentary about all the sleazy goings on in sweaty bars full of horny teens and indie disco scenesters. Or is it something more? Could it be a cleverly posed statement about their worry that ongoing success is based on constantly releasing stuff-“well this is a good idea/you wouldn’t do it if it wasn’t”, could it be their end note on a whirlwind tour of fame - “we woke up together not realizing how”. Leave before the lights come on or leave before we get really fucking bored of samey songs and over hyped single releases? Or maybe it's just them making sure that people are still listening to their hardly inspiring musical output that will be overlooked in a year or two. One can only guess.
