Arctic Monkeys

Arctic Monkeys
Favourite Worst Nightmare
[3.5/5]

When I first heard the Arctic Monkeys last year, I thought that they were getting too big too fast. Their debut release sold more copies in its first week than any other British band. I could understand such a huge leap for a band, but this was their first release! It has only been a year since their debut release, so I wasn’t expecting anything too outstanding on their sophomore album. Consequently, Favourate Worst Nightmare is a short album with little change. This one is not a sophomore slump by any means, but it is not quite as catchy as the debut release. They may have lost some of that youthful charm, but the Monkeys are still an aggressive and powerful force.
