Arctic Monkeys
Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not
Copyright Domino Records
Released February 21, 2006
4/5 stars ****
NOTE:THIS ALBUM IS NOT EXPLICIT, BUT OCCASIONALLY HAS SOME QUESTIONABLE LANGUAGE
This is part two of my reviews of the best and worst albums of 2006. Check out my other review of The Black Parade by My Chemical Romance. My cousin told me he liked this quartet from across the pond, and I went on iTunes and listened to the samples.I loved it. These young kids have been playing instruments for a shorter than 5 years, and already are international rock stars. And they earned it completely. My only real complaints are: 1) It is very repetitive,and you might get bored after a while of listening to it, and 2)They should(Like I think most bands should) stickwith the fast paced songs, and forget these ballads. Stick to what you are good at. And for these guys, its catchyriffs and suprisingly good bass lines. I have to say, this bass player doesn't just follow along making it sound like an extention of the guitar. It has its own beat, and does what a bass is supposed to do, make the rhythm (for example, listen toFake Tales of San Francisco). Overall, it is a hooky album with good bass lines, that may get repetitive and could be goodwith out the couple of ballads.
Songs You Must Download:
