Product Description

 
Arctic Monkeys: Alex Turner (vocals, guitar); Jamie Cook (guitar); Andy Nicholson (bass guitar); Matt Helders (drums). 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" (o...

The title is right, people say they are good, but they're not!

Date of Review:  Mar 1, 2006
The Bottom Line: 1 good song and not a grain of originality does not a good album make, and when one is performed by an irritating wretch, it's even more unbearable.
Review: Have you ever heard people say the Internet is evil? I'm sure most of us have heard accusations along those lines thrown at the 'net, but I guess the fact we are all on this website proves nobody reading this will, strictly, adhere to it. For the...

How To Live Up To The Hype 101, By Arctic Monkeys

Date of Review:  Feb 23, 2006
The Bottom Line: Arctic Monkeys are being hyped for good reason: this debut of theirs is fan-f*cking-tastic.
Review: To be hyped as the "next big thing" is an all too common occurence in today's rock and roll scene. With no band claiming the type of legacy that Nirvana or Guns N Roses laid claim to, critics have been quick to heap praise on anyone who sounds...

I Bet You Look Just As Good On the Dusty Shelf

Date of Review:  Mar 2, 2006
The Bottom Line: If this brand of misogynistic club clangbashing is for you, you'll know.
Review: I read the headline. Arctic Monkeys' Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not has equaled first-week sales of The Beatles in the UK. And The Beatles came to mind. I pictured this Brit foursome for a while as a kind of Beatles tribute. I mean,...
