Album Notes
Reportedly the fastest-selling debut in British history at the time of its early-2006 release, the Arctic Monkeys' WHATEVER PEOPLE SAY I AM, THAT'S WHAT I'M NOT is a brash, hook-filled album that immediately warrants music fans' attention, if perhaps not all of the pre-release hype. Clearly taking notes on the evolution of U.K. punk, the Sheffield-based band reveal the influence of revered predecessors such as the Jam and the Clash, while most notably evoking the Libertines in their youthful, hood-rat persona. On this hyperactive 13-track set, singer/guitarist Alex Turner is armed with an arsenal of sharply observed middle-class narratives (a la the Streets), which are propelled by wiry guitar lines and formidable rhythms that, at times, verge on funk (see Bloc Party). Highlights of this much-lauded disc include the raucous "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor," the woozy "Riot Van" (one of the record's few quieter moments), and the lurching "When the Sun Goes Down." Like Franz Ferdinand's scruffier (and considerably less effete) kid brothers, the Arctic Monkeys prove that the hyperbole of the U.K. music press occasionally has roots in an impressive reality.

  Arctic Monkeys' Fantastic Debut Album!

Do you like Oasis, The Kaiser Chiefs, Hard-Fi or The Foo Fighters?

If the answer is "yes", there's a good chance you'll like the Arctic Monkeys and this album. That's not to say these guys sound the same as any of those groups. In fact, they have their own unique style!

The album is mixed with guitar rock, interesting lyrics and the now unmistakable northern voice of group frontman Alex Turner. The tempo of their music is often adjusted with a sudden break in their songs.

As well as containing the now well-known number ones, 'I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor' and 'When The Sun Goes Down', there are other top tracks like 'Fake Tales Of San Fransisco', 'Dancing Shoes' and 'A Certain Romance' that'll keep you amused as you listen over and over again.

The album is well worth listening to and will make you smile as you listen to the lyrics. Hopefully this is just the tip of the iceberg and a sign of great things to come. Enjoy!!

From sheffield which hasnt got much going for it these days, but one day these guys appeared from no where and created there own little style, the album contains many of the latest great singles such as " i bet you look good on the dancefloor " and " fake tales of san francisco ".

Good points

Catchy tunes

Bad points

Love or hate accent which could spoil the album for you
