To begin with this album was a bit of a dissappointment to me, after whatever people say i am that's what i'm not, i thought that am belonged to that genre, but of course they grow as a band.
After listening it through again and again i fell absolutely in love with the album.

Arctic monkeys is a band in an everlasting evolution - and that is something i love. Am ftw!

This album is totally amazing. It took me a while to get into it but when i did i really did, i'm actually likeing it more than their first album at the mo. You gotta listen to the drum beat n the lyrics in the tune "Do me a favour i think that song is amazing. I LOVE every track on the whole album, it is a must hav and i dont think any1 should hav it missing from their CD rack. 5 out of 5 no question about it.

well, i'm very happy they have proved to have been worth the hype around their first album. although this album sounds very different, and this may disappoint a lot of their first-hour fans, this album is certainly as good as 'whatever people....'. yes it is. considering their age, you simply can't expect that these guys will be doing the same thing over again. if they're good, they'll continue to re-invent themselves again and again.... and you will love it... or not. (listen to U2, do they still sound the same as on their first album.... i don't think so)
i like it! yeah!
