Up There With Ray, Paul and Noel,
By Sue "Martin's Aunty" (North Yorks, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not (Audio CD)
At 51, I am surely not the type of listener the Arctic Monkeys were aiming for. But, having heard Johnnie Walker play the track "Mardy Bum" and being wowed by it, I got a young colleague to lend me his copy of the album. It's wonderful. On first hearing, my "elderly" ears were about to dismiss it as a row, then the lyrics got through. I think Alex Turner is as excellent a spokesman for his generation as Ray Davies, Paul Weller and Noel Gallagher before him. Much more appropriate (and clever) than the whingeing of the likes of James Blunt. A superb album.

Is this the best album of all time?,
By
This review is from: Whatever People Say I Am, That'S What I'M Not [VINYL] (Vinyl)
When my boyfriend said 'You've got to listen to this album, this band are great', I was 'Yeh, yeh, yeh whatever. Typical music industry hype'. But I was absolutely wrong to draw that conclusion.Not since Radiohead's 'The Bends' has an album been released and it has has had such a dramatic and positive influence on its audience. The lyrics to the music are modern poetry and the music is stupendous. It's life changing in so much as it gives you a positive view of musicians and the world, in that young people can analyse (and pleasure) the world around them so accurately. In fact I think this album is better than 'The Bends'. Every song on it is an absolute classic, that nearly six months on, I am not tired of listening to it. Whereas, I didn't scour 'The Bends' cover for more snippets of trivia to satiate my junkie appetite for the band. The melodies are as good as, dare I say it, The Beatles. The guitar leads are as good as any of the best rock bands I've loved. The bass lines are spine tingling; the best I've heard on 'I bet that you look good on the dance floor'. Gives a new dimension to the word 'bass'. If I had to criticise, the album doesn't celebrate women as much as the Beatles, which is one of the reasons I love the Beatles so much. But then, to compare a band with the Beatles? I can't believe I'm doing it. I only love Abbey Road and the White Album more than this. I want to go on a Arctic Monkeys tour of Sheffield - it'll do wonders for Sheffield's tourism industry. It's so good it makes me cry. And when I think I might have lost (my three copies of ) this album I break into a cold sweat. Hurry up with the next album boys.

Great Start,

This review is from: Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not (Audio CD)
When I got this album, I found myself listening to it over and over again. The best song on the album is I bet that you look good on the dancefloor and When the sun goes down isn't far behind. The only poor song on the album really is Riot van, however except that this is an excellent album. People who say Franz Ferdinand and the Kaiser Chiefs are better are wrong because the Arctic Monkeys are a more individual rock/indie band. Everyone will like the Kaiser Chiefs with their radio-friendly and catchy lyrics but the Arctic Monkeys are something different. I am not saying I don't like the Kaiser Chiefs or Franz Ferdinand's first album (however overrated the second is) but to be honest you either love or hate the Arctic Monkeys rhythmic indie/rock sound or you don't and I believe more people do. The second album is good as well but I won't go on about that. So all in all, the Arctic Monkeys have bucked the trend of normal rock bands with boring lyrics (this doesn't include the Kaiser Chiefs) and have produced a masterpiece.
