Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Skitmusik!

Slog for me to get through.

buh

Gash

Makes anal cunt sound like the beatles

All sounded the same and honestly kind of forgettable. Was fun enough for the first couple songs but nothing stood out

How did I know that the Arctic Monkeys were making music for this long??? It's fine, but there's not one song I feel head over heels about. I still think AM is really the only album of theirs I truly like through and through.

It's like oasis actually figured out how to play something complicated and then decided they wanted to sound just as terrible as oasis.

Joj dosta mi je loše ovo i nikad mi nisu sjeli. Ti britanski pokušaji nekog modernog pank rocka su mi često baš promašaji teški. Kako nije klasični pank, ovi bubnjevi mi zvuče baš očajno, vokal još gore, a ostalo je dosadno za umrijeti. 1/5, 1/10

Arrogant children. Fuck this band.

Nothing on this album appeals to me.

Dogshit

1 stern

Dont lie Artic Monkeys. Too hectic

Alternative band. Not great songs.

Pourquoi pas, mais c'est un rock qui peut rapidement me fatiguer ... je cherche mais j'ai l'impression que rien ne va finir dans quelconque playlist..

Just not my jive here. Not the best Arctic Monkeys album and a roadbump along the path of this project

Meh

fucking sucks 2/10

Hard to digest... You keep waiting for a climax that never cames. The songs are all the same: extremely boring.

Oy. I don’t know about this. Comparing them to Oasis is not a compliment. I’d say this is like a louder, more annoying Oasis on speed. Just cause it’s loud and fast doesn’t mean it’s good. I really don’t like this and need to stop on the second song, which happens to be their big hit. This sucks donkey balls.

Hektischer punkiger Rock. Nix für mich.

This came out when I worked at Music World and other employees played it plenty. It grew on me a bit but not really, this kind of aughts rock from strokes to jet to white stripes never did much for me, it was everywhere.

God damn I'm still bitter my uni days coincided with this lazy shite British indie rock nonsense. Ruled out 90% of songs played in clubs. Boyband pop for teenagers who think liking guitar music is cool. Only of my biggest regrets is waiting hours at the mainstage to watch these headline Glastonbury. Should have just left my mates for a few hours and actually had a good time elsewhere.

Not for me. I find the delivery to be grating on my nerves.

No, I dont need to listen to Arctic Monkeys before I die.

Didn't care for it.

I really don't want to listen to this. My feeling was justified. I got to track eight before the relentless Arctic Monkiness of it got the better of me. How can something be both oppressive and boring at the same time? Maybe - just maybe - if thus was just one track used in a film to emphasise how much of an arrogant wanker dome coke-addled posh boy pretending to be working class in the mid, 2000s was - I would think that the song was perfect. It isn't, and it just reminds me of how music in the early-mid 2000s killed clubbing, with its posturing androcentric lack of fun and danceability.

so bad i even lose the will to be merrily vengeful and hatefilled and just left here with battered and defeated in deep sadness

Geordie Shore done by no talents. Try and talk to a girl when you're sober you useless twat! 3 stars less 1 for the repetitiveness less 1 for the Geordie Shore shit.

Unmelodic noise

I had not heard of Arctic Monkeys, I did listen to the album. I did not care for this type of music.

Not my fav.

Not really me

Did not like it - too loud and obnoxious

Meh.

Gar nicht meins, mir zu hart

Mostly cringe lyrics. Great voice.

Nič moc

I don't care what anyone else tells me, I can't stand the Arctic Monkeys and I think they suck.

Tiresome, noisy, formulaic rock-pop. Don't listen to the hype.

poor

Not for me!

Yup. Tried a few times with this band and nope. Still not a fan. I have no idea what it is.

Mildly annoying shout-singing stop-start songs that all sound the same.

Nope . Not for me

Didn't like the first time around, don't like them now.

As rubbish now as it was then

Feels like a waitress in a diner saying “we’re out of Dr Pepper, is Mr Pibb ok?” Except it’s Green Day and Arctic Monkeys. Disposable guitar pop/rock. Probably incredible to a 15 yr old English kid.

Not my thing

Not into there sound

The Arctic Monkeys' Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not is appealing right out of the gate. It's got energy to spare, a nice direct sound, and the band is incredibly tight. But by the second song, I was getting worried. They are already recycling musical ideas. It turns out that the Arctic Monkeys are artistically monochromatic, reworking the same tropes over and over. It's dispiriting. Even old punk bands like The Clash had more arrows in their quiver than this. The Arctic Monkeys take limbs from the corpses of their favorite bands (Franz Ferdinand, The Strokes), which are themselves stitched together from other bands (The Clash, Ian Dury), sew them together, and then attempt to breathe life into it, pretending like it's something new. It's fucking boring. Now, I haven't yet addressed the lyrics, which seem to address various aspects of nightlife. Actually, the music is such a turn off, I don't think I will.

Don't under the hype...I hate this. 4/10

- I liked it! This sounds like quintessential alt rock. - Very similar lead vocal sound to The Wombats, though stylistically different sound from the band. - Do rock bands that sound like this actually make music today? Are they still forming?

no

Oh fuck yeah, this album SLAPS and has SLAPPED for as long as i remember

Raw and unformed compared to battle for los angeles. De la Rocha is angry and on point

classic indie album
