No you aren't, hence why music in general is so great. I think Lady Gaga is stupidly overrated as an artist but there we go, others worship her for some reason... Anyway, I also thought 'meh' when I first heard Humbug and especially Suck It and See, but having listened to it solidly for just under a month, there aren't any signs of it boring me anymore, it just continues to get better and better with every listen. But on your second point I have to inform you as someone more familiar with other Monkeys fans, you could not be more wrong. Whilst every fanbase of course has some fans with that kind of attitude of thinking they're gods and the like, generally there aren't many Arctic Monkeys fans like that... I'm on probably the largest forum of Arctic Monkeys fans on the internet (it only arrived last year and it's already got a much higher overall post count than TPM), and despite them being the 'hardcore' fans, they're a bunch of the nicest people you could possbily know and they'll freely criticize the Monkeys whenever they feel is needed and always give a fair opinion. They aren't completely blinded by fanboy/girlness is what I'm saying. You also seem to have gotten Alex Turner mixed up with one of the Gallaghers or something, he's always raving about other music in interviews and is generally quite modest when it comes to his own music so I fail to see where you're coming from. Having also actually met him in person, he was one of the nicest 'famous' people I've ever met.
