Arctic Monkeys - "Favourite Worst Nightmare"Coming quick on the heels of the debut "Whatever You Say I Am ... " it was feared that the Arctic Monkeys' had jumped the gun a bit by releasing another album so soon and on the first few listens, this sounded a tad weak.
After letting this grow on you for a while though and its clear that Alex Turners song writing genius continues, supported by a tight band on a mission.
The beauty of "Favourite Worst Nightmare" is that your favourite track never seems to be the same on consecutive listens. Kicking off with the first single "Brianstorm", followed by "Teddy Picker" sets a hell of a pace that doesn't let up until the half-time whistle signalled by "Only One Who Knows".
The second half kicks off with one of the slow burners, and my favourite track on the album "Do Me a Favour" and the whole thing wrapped up with the sublime "505".
I heard many people say that this was a disappointment after the first album but this needs some work and patience like all great albums.
Stick with it, its a blinder !!!
