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!

Having owned this album since it came out, I've tried many a time to get into Favourite Worse Nightmare having loved Arctic Monkeys previous offering, but everytime I listen to this, I can't help but feel let down. The only track that really stands out is Brainstorm, but that aside, there are no tracks that excite like I Bet That You Look Good On The Dance Floor, Mardy Bum and View From The Afternoon.

There are some decent tracks. Flourescent Adolescent and Room 505 are pretty decent, as is Teddy Picker, but overall, they all fail to live long in the memory. At the moment, the Arctics are the media darlings, they can do no wrong, and this was apparent in many of the media reviews of Favourite Worse Nightmare. But what happens when their bubble bursts? If they come up with another average album like this then their time in the spot like could be over, which would be a shame as I feel the Arctic Monkeys are a band with true potential. Lets just hope their next offering is better.

A top qualtiy album, from a top quality band.

A must have for any music lovers!!!!!
