A brilliant debut album from the Arctic Monkeys. Has some brilliant sounds to it. None of the songs do you ever get the urge to turn over and skip it. Every song is catchy, upbeat and generally fantastic. The highlight for me is When the sun goes down, the song has real meaning and how the song is put together is also excellent. The album describes British life with some really catchy and well written lyrics. Sung over the top of upbeat Indie-Rock backing with excellent guitar riffs and drum soloes throughout. The drumming keeps all the songs going and puts them one stage ahead of others. The band definately have hints of Kaizerchiefs, and the Libertines about them, and despite it being a great album the media and overplaying of the album have lead to this type of sound becoming all too samey in British rock, making the album seem less brilliant. As although the vocals and musical playing are top rate, the fact that this type of sound has been done before drags it down abit.
