I miss the days where you gambled on one song you'd heard on the radio a few times, buying the album hoping the rest will live up to it! This was one of those albums for me, and I absolutely love it! I still remember buying this album in '06 on a girls weekend in Sydney - this album and a pair of boots! Arctic Monkeys (despite having a dumb name) are such a great band, I particularly love the youthful, horny, loutish, loud energy of this album! Alex Turner's accent is amazing, and I've always enjoyed the way they feature each instrument with momentary gaps in the music before it all picks up raucously again (there's probably a musical term for the style?) I also love the album AM which I don't think features on this list, but I'll make special mention of my favourite Arctic Monkeys song 'Do I wanna know?'. They have some music I'm not as into, but we are not here to talk about that - this album is fantastic and even though some of that might be nostalgia I still think this stands up nearly 20 years on as great rock music! 5 star album - I listened to it 6 times today! Perfect album for driving up and down the midlands, only shame is I've lost my voice, otherwise I would have been singing along! I was thinking while listening to this album that it'd be great to pick a few shared favourite albums as a group and do a listening party - this one would be on my list!
