No, they're still together apparently working on the next album.

It’s a great album all around, but “Do I Wanna Know?” is the absolute peak for me. Love that so many people have covered it.

I was so disappointed by their follow up album. But I saw them live right around when it came out, and that was a really fun show because they played a good variety of songs, including ones from AM + earlier.

“Do I Wanna Know?” is probably the best rock song of the last decade. I just love it. I remember when I first heard it, I had it on repeat for weeks.

AM is one of the groups i have the longest relationship with. i used to read the AM forum obsessively back when i was in high school - back when andy was still in the band and wpsiatwin was their only album. to this day it's still my favorite, but i'd put AM at number two. ... or maybe tied for second with humbug. was anyone else on the forum???

i actually haven't listened to them in awhile, but thanks to this post i know what i'll be playing when walking the dogs tonight!!

A Certain Romance remains my favorite Arctic Monkeys song. I saw them in concert a couple years ago and was glad they still played songs from their earlier albums, which are my faves (maybe because I was in high school then).
