Editorial Review: Album Description: While this sophomore release is unmistakably Arctic Monkeys, everything's a little more muscular and aggressive. Each song is embedded with revelatory moments, as if some sort of critical mass is achieved through skillful song craft and sharp arrangements until an explosive release of energy or emotion is inevitable. Arctic Monkeys have exceeded expectations with this record. Amazon.com: Snarly and stone-sharpened, the Arctic Monkeys open their sophomore effort with "Brianstorm," a bracing blast of guitar fractures and rhythmic herky-jerks. Alex Turner's voice is the centerpiece, scoured the way the Streets' Mike Skinner's quick. Favourite Worst Nightmare moves from frontal blast quickly to the lean, mid-paced pop nugget, "Teddy Picker," which even with its clear guitars and straight rhythms still has Turner's tart intonation piercing the air. The tugging bass and guitar of "Fluorescent Adolescent" show shades of the retro-soul tip that drives Amy Winehouse (and Lily Allen), showing that the Arctic Monkeys have a taste for the dancefloor that spans generations, even if their guitars can cut across each other with relentless jaggedness while Turner's caustic pipes lasso the ears. Nightmare expands the band's reach, as when "Do Me a Favour" goes wonderfully haywire from tumbling rhythm, clear-guitar, and fluid narrative to a cresting blast of guitars--big and brawny and borne from the merely tumultuous, like the band itself. --Andrew Bartlett Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Written review?I've written a few music reviews, and I've come to a great realization. They are useless! Everybody is the same when it comes to music. And that similarity is that no two people have the exact same taste. What we all write here should have no influence whatsoever on whether or not these guys are 'good.' Go sample them and decide for yourself! Personally, I like them. They are upbeat, have a british charm, and some humorous lyrics. Rating: - The Monkeys Get CoolerI thought it would be hard to follow up the fastest, fiercest and most enjoyable punk rock album, but the Arctic Monkeys' sophomore album is a great expansion of their ferocious sound. In the Arctic Monkeys' first album, "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not," they set the British punk scene on fire with a speedy flurry of virtuoso guitar riffs and drum beating. The second album, "Favourite Worst Nightmare," continues their virtuoso performances, but with a more streamlined expansion of their surf-guitar sound. The first single, "Brianstorm," demonstrates that sound with a killer opening riff that resembles that opening to the film "Pulp Fiction." I love Jamie Cook and Alex Turner's killer staccato guitar blasts ... Read More: Rating:  - Monkey ChillThe Arctic Monkeys delivered an audacious and brash debut, actually bearing up to their hype when Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not hit American shores. It was low-fi teenage rock and sounded it, but the sheer manic thrill carried the album. But now that they are stars, that low-key charm is was what many were looking for in the follow-up. "Favourite Worst Nightmare" is basically, a more mature version of the debut, produced more cleanly, with stronger recording skills and a better budget, by a band that is road-tested and better because of it. "Brainstorm" is the kind of jagged guitar pop-rock that you would expect, and sounds as good as anything on the debut. The almost funky "Fluorescent Adolescent," about a former party ... Read More: Rating: - FantasticIt is like Franz Ferdinand's self titled album but with more brithish insight and awsome lyrics. Rating:  - Favourite Worst Nightmare is good, but not throughoutArtic Monkeys have a great sound, however, in my opinion the song "Florescent Adolescent" is much, much better than many other songs on the album. If they had more with this type of sound, I would easily recommend it to others. For now, I would just recommend a few of the songs. |
