Full review
The arctic monkeys to many are the band to have defined our generation. There really haven't been any other bands to so accurately and cleverly depict young peoples lives in the 21st century .
This album features the destinctive sound of the arctics both in the mars volta esq guitars and the distinct and diverse lyrics from the lead singer Alex Turner. Alex Turner has definately not lost any originality lyrically but my only critisicm is the similarity musically between this and the last album. Still this is an amazing album.
Songs such as Teddy Picker are perfect examples of the catchy and distinctly Northern lyrics from Turner. Featuring the distinct sharp and bouncy sound of the arctics. In short this is a great album although obviously it lacks the impact and originality that second albums so often do.
