Arctic Monkeys with their first album brought yorkshire into the UK rock scene and were unapologetic in their no nonsense lyrics and love/hate relationship with Britain. Amazing album front to back and I would say could be the album of our generation, they could be the band of our generation. Personal faves are, of course, When The Sun Goes Down, Red Light Indicates Doors Are Secured (but that might be because I have a real soft spot for Rock Lobster) and Perhaps Vampires Is A Bit Strong But... Ending the album with A Certain Romance is bittersweet and a perfect ending and the riff is quintessential circa 2006 UK indie. I can imagine every indie kid in their skinny jeans and skinny scarf, horrible trilby, potentially trouser braces if they were committed, fag out of mouth and glens in the other hand walking down the canal in the sun. Even though the lyrics I feel are talking about a different sub culture - I wonder if they loved the Monkeys too?
