( - Debut album from Sheffield-born quartet the Arctic Monkeys. Even before the release of this first offering, the band were being touted as the next big thing. With their mix of melodic pop, fused with a punk-garage edge, their sound appeals to the alternative rock crowd. Their first single. 'I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor', which went straight in at No.1 in the UK singles chart, is included.

I'm not really a fan of Arctic Monkeys, but I have to say, this album is fantastic!!
Alex Turner is a very talented songwriter, and uses very clever lyrics throughout!! Like I say, I'm not a fan of the band, but I can't get enough of this!!! It'll probably be looked back on in 10 years time as a classic!! (in the same way we look back on Oasis' Definitely Maybe now!!)...
It took me a while to get into 'Riot Van' and 'Perhaps Vampires...', but the rest of the album is simply faultless!! best song, imo, is 'Fake Tales of San Francisco'...
Top Notch!!!!

This album is so hard to describe in words, it needs a listen. It speaks to you! Definitely the best album in my collection - Loved it from day 1 and still loving it.
Very upbeat music, but the slow songs such as Riot Van & Mardy Bum are World Class as well. You will only cheat yourself by not buying this album.
The Sounds of the Steel City

For me, as a Sheffield lad this album captures everything great about the city. The vibe, the people and the excellent social commentary from Turners at time genius lyrics.
