Advantages: Great songs, interesting Lyrics

Disadvantages: None

I really love this album. It made my top ten of last year easily. I had heard Heavyweight Champion of the world months back on Zane Lowe one evening so I had been keeping keeping an eye out for when an album would be released.

After re-releasing Heavyweight the album was released and I couldn't play it enough. It is melodic, but rocky.

It also has a realistic edge that we can all identify with. each track is a mini story in its own right but you can tell that there is also a common theme running through some of the tracks. There rea track there that will make you smile - bandits comes to mind. I'm sure we can all relate to the guy in the song who answers his mobile and turns away from the fruit machine for a moment only to have someone win the jackpot by pushing in.

There are others that just make you feel sad - such as "He said he loved me" when you can relate to the poor girl who has been left with a baby .

I keep going back to this album and I have converted many of my family to it as well

Summary: Great Debut album give it alisten - not as harsh as the arctic monkeys
