Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'M Not

Product Information

He has contributed to MOJO, the BBC, The Guardian, Q and NME among others, and has interviewed Arctic Monkeys on many occasions. What I like the most is that you can train your ear to listen to any of the parts of this band - the drumming is solid (far more so than say, Franz Ferdinand), each song is driven by terrific guitars and bass that will stay in your head as long as the lyrics will. the boys may share a love of the smiths, the clash and the jam, but in no way were the monkeys ready to simply regurgitate the well-trodden brit-rock path. We also specialise in Limited Edition coloured vinyl so if that’s your thing you have come to the right place. Despite their tender years--or perhaps because of them--with 'Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not,' Arctic Monkeys found a new and unique way to chronicle the rushes of youth, and in doing so created a classic take on a stage of life we all experience.

Experience the iconic sound of Arctic Monkeys' debut album, Whatever People Say I Am, through the warm and immersive quality of vinyl. With his later side projects (The Last Shadow Puppets with Miles Kane, and the soundtrack to the film 'Submarine'), he has become one of my favourite young musicians. Not only was it good, it was impressive, the whole CD sounded so raw, yet polished, that you would think that the Monkeys had been established for years. The album features the singles 'I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor' and 'When the Sun Goes Down'.Every song is, at worst, above average, while most could make equal claim to single of the year to this point. Critics hugely praised the album for its depiction of youth British Culture and for resurging British indie music that had waned after the 1990s.

containing thirteen newly recorded tracks, some of which have never been heard before anywhere, even amongst the diehard fans trading demos and versions on the internet, this is a remarkable modern british debut. This album takes everything that's good about the current crop of British bands (stop-start guitars, great hooks, catchy and danceable bass lines, great lyrics) and then turns it up to 11, so to speak.No band will ever be the Beatles, and Oasis have two great albums while the Arctic Monkeys have only released one album to date, and its a totally different style and sound than Oasis. The guitar playing, drumming and vocals completely embody that angst which so many teenagers go through. Yeah, is a surreal, funky, profane, and perversely joyous album, overflowing with casual eclecticism and giddy humour. The songwriting delivers a mix of the observational storytelling of Davies and Weller crossed with the harsher documentary eye of Mike Skinner of The Streets and "Ghost Town"-era Specials.

I love this album for the guitar runs, especially on the B side, and the guitars in particular are extremely clear and isolated.

As catchy as those reference points are, it's the lyrics that have won this band a fiercely dedicated crowd very quickly. Released in 2006, Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not is the debut album by English indie rock band Arctic Monkeys .

When there is sound, it's honestly still a little quieter than my other records, but with the volume raised a bit (nothing unreasonable) it sounds just fine.Many critics and figures in the British media hyped the Arctic Monkeys and their rapid rise to acclaim through unconventional means. As for the band now, they are back with an outstanding new album AM , which might be their best yet. For a debut - 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not' was very strong, and there was even better releases to follow. Within the course of a year, the band rose from the ranks of an Internet phenomenon to the biggest band in the U. All four members of the Arctic Monkeys were a little bit shy of their tenth birthday at the time, a bit young to be sure, but old enough to have Oasis be their first favorite band.
