Sticking to their guns 20 April 2006
Format:Audio CD
"Bring on the backlash!" demands front Monkey Alex Turner in the comeback single from a band that never went away in the first place. Their recent world-conquering success would cause most other young bands to vanish in a cloud of tantrums and intoxicants, but these whippersnappers seem determined to prove they've got staying power.

Smack bang in the middle of their U.S. tour Arctic Monkeys drop their most chest-thumping EP yet, featuring the raucous opener from their LP, a thorough reworking of an old song and three new slabs of simian succulence.

The View From The Afternoon is getting all the radioplay, and though it's always been a bit confused it's still the best thing on the airwaves at the moment. Cigarette Smoker Fiona drops all the strippers and lyrics from its earlier version and focuses on yet another night of debauchery. If anything it's a slight improvement on the unreleased original - and not just because it rhymes ghetto with stilettoes.

Two of the remaining tracks are slower and more sober: Despair In The Departure Lounge sees a sad soul watching sitcoms on a plane to keep his mind off his lonely heart, while the chirpier No Buses investigates infidelity and the lunacy of chasing what you can't have. "And just 'cos everybody's doing it / Does that mean that I can too?" asks Alex wistfully, before the song shrugs its shoulders and turns into a George Formby cover (almost).

And then to finish, there's the obscene, self-referencing title track. Taking a snarling stand against the short-lived nature of success and celebrity - as well as the willingness of their contemporaries to conform - the Arctic Monkeys don't just throw down the gauntlet with this track, they nail it to the floor. "Just 'cos we're having our say-so / Not lining up to be Playdough / Oh in five years time will it be / Who the ****'s Arctic Monkeys?" wonders Alex. On the strength of this, I doubt it.

6 Stars !!!!! 17 May 2006
By Mr. J. Buck VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
I agree with an earlier reviewer, the album is the best debut since Oasis. This EP follows up with a punch to the rest of the music industry - it's as if the Monkeys have really challenged everything and taken music into a completely new direction. Sure they have their influences but these guys stand alone in their use of lyrics, guitar and sheer passion.

This EP just whets the appetite for the next album. Its one of those CD's that you play, play and then play again. And then you get on the Mardy Bum's nerves for humming it around the house.

Tops. Buy it.

NEW SONGS ARE WICKED! 20 April 2006
Format:Audio CD
We all know the hype behind the Arctic Monkeys debut album, which in my opinion is the most exciting LP iv ever heard since Oasis' debut in the early 90s.

Now, we have 4 brand new songs on the 'Who The Fuck Are The Arctic Monkeys?' EP, as well as previous album track 'The View From The Afternoon'

This is one of the best EPs I'v heard in a very long time. The new songs are great material expected from the group, and they all take on a more lighter approach to the previous albums tunes.

The style of music we are fimilar with is still there, but packaged in a much gentler tone.

Cigarette Smoker could be an exception, but the albums 3rd track, Despair In The Departure Lounge, is definately a great example of a mellow but beautiful Arctic Monkeys song, with great lyrics invoolving the usual depressing theme of heartbreak.

Onwards from here, we hear No Buses, another mellowish track. The final self-titled-album track is my personal favourite, as it adds a touch of enthusiasm and rock to the albums music - only a bit mind.

All in all, this is a great EP from a great band. I expected the best, and it was delivered. Buy it!
