Product Description While this sophomore release is unmistakably Arctic Monkeys, everything's a little more muscular and aggressive. Each song is embedded with revelatory moments, as if some sort of critical mass is achieved through skillful song craft and sharp arrangements until an explosive release of energy or emotion is inevitable. Arctic Monkeys have exceeded expectations with this record. desertcart.com Snarly and stone-sharpened, the Arctic Monkeys open their sophomore effort with "Brianstorm," a bracing blast of guitar fractures and rhythmic herky-jerks. Alex Turner's voice is the centerpiece, scoured the way the Streets' Mike Skinner's quick. Favourite Worst Nightmare moves from frontal blast quickly to the lean, mid-paced pop nugget, "Teddy Picker," which even with its clear guitars and straight rhythms still has Turner's tart intonation piercing the air. The tugging bass and guitar of "Fluorescent Adolescent" show shades of the retro-soul tip that drives Amy Winehouse (and Lily Allen), showing that the Arctic Monkeys have a taste for the dancefloor that spans generations, even if their guitars can cut across each other with relentless jaggedness while Turner's caustic pipes lasso the ears. Nightmare expands the band's reach, as when "Do Me a Favour" goes wonderfully haywire from tumbling rhythm, clear-guitar, and fluid narrative to a cresting blast of guitars--big and brawny and borne from the merely tumultuous, like the band itself. --Andrew Bartlett Review: Love it! - I love the album so I decided I would get it on vinyl.

Arctic Monkeys Get Surreal
(3 1/2 *'s) UK's latest and greatest new sensation, The Arctic Monkeys, come up with a follow up to their smash debut, 'Whatever They Say I Am, I'm Not' with more experience under their belts. Overall, they add some texture and, as the title suggests, the darker aspects of their brain hemispheres for the lyrics. While I don't possess their heralded debut, I know by listening to the samplers that this album has more variety, but less of the immediacy of their first C.D. Starting with "Brainstorm," we get a propulsive electrical storm that provides a cyclical effect reminiscent of the 'Pulp Fiction' soundtrack. In the fast forward vein they still deliver their best, fronted by Alex Turner's trajectory of images that sometimes seems like alternative's free association answer to rap. Never getting tongue tied, Alex's words, nevertheless, don't always integrate well into the mesmerizing mix. Following the "Brainstorm," "Teddy Picker" comes to the fore with arguably the album's best song. Proving that experience hasn't tarnished the band, anti-glam "Teddy..." is truly an intricate gem. Keeping in the third person, we get lines about women who make love go wrong. Included is that propulsive assertion for "D Is for Dangerous" with some scathing words for some wayward girl known as "Your favourite worst nightmare". Later, "Do Me a Favour" featuring Ventures'-like sounds, asks the lamented beloved to "Break my nose." And "Old Yellow Bricks" seals the bad deal, lamenting "You're a fugitive, but you don't know what you're running away from." The playful "This House Is a Circus" and the heavy "The Bad Thing" almost live up to the aforementioned, but new territory is achieved with the shimmering "Fluorescent Adolescent" and the Stray Cats-like "Only One Who Knows". At their best, Arctic Monkeys gives us some new hooks and elaborations of what they've already accomplished. When they're effective, they connect well. Sometimes the trajectory flows like a dream; at other times the whole project is ordinary and stuck in idle. For those who remember The Undertones, this album reminds one of the transition when they went from the propulsive punk to the artiness of 'Positive Touch'. Hopefully, with gradual changes, The Arctic Monkeys won't undergo the Undertones' fate.

A CLASSIC
This album is easily tied for number one in their catalog. Every song is distinct but somehow they all fit together as well. The lyrics are crisp and the songs and they are ALWAYS playing in the pocket. CLASSIC “Do me a favor”. Go get this one.

最初はBrianstormとFluorescent Adolescent目当てで買いましたが、他の曲も超カッコよくてリピートしまくってます。 捨て曲無しです。ファーストも買って聴きましたが、個人的には断然このセカンドです。 カッコよくて、テンポ早くて、どこかエモいメロディアスさ。たまりません。
