Released in 2006, the Arctic Monkeys' debut album was fairly typical of the 'good' (in my opinion) music that was in the charts at the time. THAT is what makes this album so impressive to me - the sum of its parts is stronger than any album I've heard in a long time.

rather, they spent their school days listening to roots manuva, braintax and other stuff on low-life, not to mention lyricist lounge compilations and rawkus records cuts like pharaoh monch.

Despite their tender years--or perhaps because of them--with 'Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not,' Arctic Monkeys found a new and unique way to chronicle the rushes of youth, and in doing so created a classic take on a stage of life we all experience. Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not became the UK's fastest selling debut album, selling more than 360,000 copies in its first week. If you want to check the colour of the record before you purchase, I would be happy to answer any questions you may have. I love this album for the guitar runs, especially on the B side, and the guitars in particular are extremely clear and isolated.

What I like the most is that you can train your ear to listen to any of the parts of this band - the drumming is solid (far more so than say, Franz Ferdinand), each song is driven by terrific guitars and bass that will stay in your head as long as the lyrics will. Within the course of a year, the band rose from the ranks of an Internet phenomenon to the biggest band in the U. We carry a broad range of CDs and vinyl (7”/12” singles and LPs) and specialise in indie, alternative, rock, punk, metal plus a few other genres.Transport yourself to the heart of the British indie rock scene with this classic record that will have you singing along and feeling every beat. He has contributed to MOJO, the BBC, The Guardian, Q and NME among others, and has interviewed Arctic Monkeys on many occasions. If you're the type who likes physical copies and have heard this album on Spotify then why not grab a copy? this was life in satellite-town england, as cutting and observant as anything youd hear from mike skinner.
