Customer Ratings & Reviews

This album is a perfect representation of the talent that this band possess.

There are a lot of great songs on this album. The singles from this album are what got me into the Arctic Monkeys, however, some of the songs seem pale in comparison and feel hollow and leave a lot to be desired. All in all, a great album. If just getting into this band, I would recommend "AM" first, it is a bit more friendly and rocks from the first track through the end of the album. Or "Whatever people say I am, thats what I am not", this album is a bit more groovy and has a lot of great hooks.

This album is their most accomplished work yet. I didn't love every single track but 505, Fluorescent Adolescent and Brianstorm are destined for a greatest hits collection from this band some day when they are old enough to have one. The CD is worth it just for those 3 excellent songs and you get a bunch others which are pretty good as well. They may not be as hyped as they were a year ago but they've never been better.

if their first CD was a 10, this album is a 9.9. not every song is amazing, but the majority are. the songs that are amazing are some of their best work yet. best songs include brianstorm, teddy picker, fluorescent adolescent, balaclava, if you where there beware, yellow bricks, and 505. definitely a must have album. one of the best sophomore albums in recent history.

This album is even better than their previous one. Some songs are not as great as others, but there are a few really great ones that you can listen to over and over such as 505, balaclava, and fluorescent adolescence.
