Honestly this album perfectly captures being young in the UK. Especially the night life. The rowdy nights out, getting smashed in local pubs and bars, shitty clubs, drunken scraps, dodgy taxi's, the love/hate relationship with your home town and making it out the other end with your best mates with stories to tell for years to come. Guaranteed since this album came out, almost every British teenager has had a love affair with it at some point. So glad you discovered this absolute gem of an album!
So true man. I feel Sam Fender is fantastic at encapsulating that scene too!! Give Friday Fighting a listen. Spice, Greasy Spoon and Poundshop Kardashians are also a great take on UK (particularly NE) life.
Been listening to the Arctic Monkeys for a long time probably since I was 15 but I turned 18 about a month ago and have experienced basically everything they talk about including the getting in clubs underage as a 17 year old 😂

@@jakeneedham1895 Uhhh, I wasn't referring to that, I literally meant Famous Last Words like he ended up loving the album and song. Pretty coincidental tho
it really is true. Like, the gratification and feeling of someone praising and appreciating what you appreciate, it's such a good feeling, especially with music like this.
Same great seeing someone else experienced what we we did for the first time. This was my favourite album growing up. Every song was just so perfect and captured England in the 2000s so well.
Vessel is their best album and I don't think they'll ever top it, the only one that i'd describe as beautiful even though I do like Blurry Face and Trench
What a lot of people don't know is that A Certain Romance was voted 8th best song of the decade (2000-2010) by NME. Which is mental seeing as it's a song on a debut album. Also to think that this is the fastest selling debut album in the UK is mental.
They don’t know what mardy means that’s why😂 the whole song is a fantastic play almost with the singer trying to cheer up his mardy misses, a scene that has and continues to play out untold amount of times across the UK. It’s an amazingly clever and great sounding song
I think Matt Helders is the most impressive member of the band (at his instrument, obviously Alex's song-writing ability is what creates the music). His drumming during the ending solo in A Certain Romance is so fucking amazing
Being a Sheffield lad, I’m proud to say I watched artic monkeys live in the Leadmill numerous times before they broke. What time, what a venue, what a band....
Now it's time to react to favorite worst nightmare, I swear it's good too, but I wouldn't venture on to the others judging by your reaction to their later stuff so far. For me the first and second records are the best.
when the sun goes down is about a place here in sheffield, where they're from, if you drive over a bridge (heading out of town) you get to a red light district, which just means a place with loads of prostitutes, hence the references in the intro and outro. really cool to drive through and see what they're on about
Jeremiah Rivera well the line in roxanne ‘you don’t have to put on the red light’ is actually telling her she doesnt have to prostitute herself. The way people know they are prostitutes is if they have a red light on in their window, hence ‘you don’t have to put on your red light’ and ‘red light district’
This was blissfull, I smiled from ear to eat througout the hole video. Oh men I dont even know how to describe it but I love your content so much and you loving this album of my favorite band was incredible. Top tear editing, from the backgrounds images to the fun shit like 5:32 , to the sound changes and choice of what parts to cut and wich one to leave (like the hole ending of the album). The wait is worth it, especially when it shows the fun you have reacting and the efort that its in the editing. Its pretty obvious that you gotta keep going through the Arctic Monkeys discography, but for the next review i dont know, I just kwon tha ill be whatching. Keep it up Brad, this was incredible
Highlight Paradise Yeah this is one of the best debut albums ever, to the point that people thought that they have to be an industry plant since they started out already good
This album alone is why arctic monkeys are my favourite band. I literally only like their first two albums but they’re so genuinely amazing I’m willing to call them one of the best rock bands.
Id say Humbug > Fwn but yesh i agree. Suck it and see and am are ass and tbhc is mid. Song writing is great and they all have their moments but not that great sonically imo
I was waiting almost 3 weeks for part 2. Every day i check yt, but today is the day. Finally. And i'm not even angry, i'm amazed about this video. You finally know "Who the fu*k are Arctic Monkeys". Great video, great music. Please annouce that Favourite Worst Nightmare will be next, then i will be checking your channel every day again, just to see you reacting for, in my opinion, REAL Arctic Monkeys. Thumbs up man. Congrats from Poland ;)
We told you old Monkeys were worth it! My fave is a Certain Romance and my reaction was the same as yours when i first heard it, speechless and smiling like an idiot lol. I'm glad you liked it, it really is an iconic album
He looked so geniunely happy listening to A Certain Romance I want to cry. It seemed like the song took him to a place where he was just so happy to be there.
Spot on Luke! If I like a girl and am deciding on whether to date her or not I put on early Arctic Monkeys and if they do I move straight to the Libertines and if they are into that……. Well, it’s time for booze and pills and powders lol
yknow, watching someone react like this to songs youve known and loved for so long almost makes it feel like im listening to them for the first time. like after listening to this album for years now i almost sometimes take it for granted and dont really appreciate it as much as i should, but watching this it makes me fall back in love w it and look at it from a different light almost. i kept smiling the whole video, keep up the good work and im glad youve enjoyed it 🤙🤙
Not going to lie, I've been waiting for this video to be uploaded ever since I saw the first part. I have literally been checking every single day!! Was dying to see his reaction to When The Sun Goes Down" and A Certain Romance". Such a great channel, love his character and attitude!!
dudeee I never pin-pointed why the song structure of "when the sun goes down" fits so well! it really is like the sun comes down and rises back up by the end
I like how he dived straight into the video, rather than an intro for 5 minutes before. Your personality is brilliant 😆 I have overplayed this album, yet I could relisten to it over again. It's gorgeous
Arctic Monkeys were something super special when they first dropped, everyone in England knew about them.. they were just super hungry when they were young! Incredible album and glad you got this album
Please do Favourite Worse Nightmare, also by Arctic Monkeys. Personally I think it's actually a better album than this one and there's no way you won't love the closing track, 505.
IMO the second half of the album outshining the first one is not necessarily a bad thing. It's like the artist showing that he's still gotta lot of creativity juice flowing on him
This is only the second video of yours I've seen (the first being part 1) but dude the way you illustrate how the music hits you with green screen and editing is fucking phenomenal
Your energy has inspired me this morning. I only got 3 hours of sleep because I had to wake up and take my dad to see a cardiologist but I watched the rest of this video this morning and it was like a dash of morning coffee. This might have become my favorite channel on RUclips. Looking forward to the next musical adventures ahead.
Glad you loved it like I do Brad. Their live shows from around the same time (like 2005-07) are prob my favorite too. You should check those out, and to echo my fellow commenters, have a listen to Favorite Worst Nightmare.

I loooooove arctic Monkeys. And this is through and through a wonderful album. Happy too see someone else has enjoyed it this much too! I've seen them four times, and they are one of my favorite bands to see live. So upbeat, so clean, and fucking fast.
Love this! I did the same with my son and like to think his excellent music taste is down to me and my husband singing to him as a baby! We all saw them twice on the Car tour this year and our son is bigger fans than we are now! Also rapping the entire Slim Shady LP had the same result lol! I’m not quite as happy about that one!
Brad's reaction to perhaps vampires are a bit too strong is like his reaction to ode to mets by the strokes. He was like "this sounds so shit" then immediately loves it 😂
also; love how you absolutely adored this album without even getting into the lyrics, because they’re also SO FUCKING AMAZING, but you don’t even need them to fully appreciate how brilliant this record is! damn they really just, set the bar so high at the very start of their career that everything else they’ve done is outshone instantly
Please don't sleep on his lyricism on this album! His storytelling is top tier 👌🏻 every one of these songs is a great commentary on being young and the music compliments that perfectly.
I have ,watched this post at least 10 times, it is my go to every Friday after drinking. Almost like a comfort blanket. Why? Because although I loved early arctic monkeys I never really understood or appreciated just how good the first album was, considering when they made this they were a bunch of 16/17 yr olds from Sheffield. Just seeing the genuine joy on your face when deep down you went into this wanting to hate it, but after 1 track having the love of good music to throw away your earlier predjuces to love the fuck out of what you were listening to...love your reaction almost as much as the best debit album of all time. All the commenters are vampires
Thank you soo fucking much, it's been years since i last listened to this album for the last time, and you rekindled those teenager years of hearing this at the bus on my way to school... god... one of the best albums ever.
My favourite thing about old arctic monkeys is by far the lyrics and story telling - every song is just dripping with northern slang and such vivid imagery of the dingy pubs, drink and drugs of poor northern towns and it makes me feel at home every time.
When Brad said that the last song could make the whole album shit in his opinion it kinda worried me a bit bc I love this album wholeheartedly ... then I remembered the last track is Certain Romance. GG Brad GG
This is one of the first albums I listened to that made me fall in love with music and I’m so glad Brad loves it so much. After he didn’t like Humbug it’s so good to see how much he enjoys this. It’s reminded me how good this album is because I haven’t listened to it for so long. Take me back to when I first heard these tracks so I can get the same reaction as Brad has. This video has given me so much nostalgia. Brad, you have to listen to Favourite Worst Nightmare!
Growing up my dad would listen to classical rock every day and blast it in the house. I started to really dislike rock because if hear the same like 10 songs over and over. When I went to college I discovered the Arctic Monkeys and thought they were good. Then I heard the ending of A Certain Romance... Now I’m a massive fan of rock again!
This makes me wish I could listen to this album for the first time again
Same bro same

Brad's reaction to ACR's guitar solo is so fucking relatable bruh
also; love how you absolutely adored this album without even getting into the lyrics, because they’re also SO FUCKING AMAZING, but you don’t even need them to fully appreciate how brilliant this record is! damn they really just, set the bar so high at the very start of their career that everything else they’ve done is outshone instantly
The line ‘He told Roxanne to put on her red light’ in When The Sun Goes Down is a reference to Roxanne by The Police
one of your best reactions IMO, i really like all those green screen effects you put in
And Alex was just 18 when he wrote this songs... stunning
Please don't sleep on his lyricism on this album! His storytelling is top tier 👌🏻 every one of these songs is a great commentary on being young and the music compliments that perfectly.
Happy Brad is good, I hope you find a thousand albums that make you feel like this
I have ,watched this post at least 10 times, it is my go to every Friday after drinking. Almost like a comfort blanket. Why? Because although I loved early arctic monkeys I never really understood or appreciated just how good the first album was, considering when they made this they were a bunch of 16/17 yr olds from Sheffield. Just seeing the genuine joy on your face when deep down you went into this wanting to hate it, but after 1 track having the love of good music to throw away your earlier predjuces to love the fuck out of what you were listening to...love your reaction almost as much as the best debit album of all time. All the commenters are vampires

16 times. 16 times I've had to watch an American stranger fall in love with the best, the fucking best, debut album of all time.
I agreed. This album is a masterpiece. Most of the song from this album are great. When the sun goes down 🔥🔥🔥🔥
It was worth the wait. But FWN will be amazing to see.
Thank you soo fucking much, it's been years since i last listened to this album for the last time, and you rekindled those teenager years of hearing this at the bus on my way to school... god... one of the best albums ever.
“This album beats the sh*t out of you, then slowly lays you down to sleep.”
This is the best description of WPSIATWIN I’ve ever heard.
Your editing just keeps getting better man. Keep it up.
My favourite thing about old arctic monkeys is by far the lyrics and story telling - every song is just dripping with northern slang and such vivid imagery of the dingy pubs, drink and drugs of poor northern towns and it makes me feel at home every time.
When Brad said that the last song could make the whole album shit in his opinion it kinda worried me a bit bc I love this album wholeheartedly ... then I remembered the last track is Certain Romance. GG Brad GG
First time watching this guy but I already fucking love him
i got hip to you from the part 1 video and I've been coming back every couple days since waiting for this lmaoo
This is one of the first albums I listened to that made me fall in love with music and I’m so glad Brad loves it so much. After he didn’t like Humbug it’s so good to see how much he enjoys this. It’s reminded me how good this album is because I haven’t listened to it for so long. Take me back to when I first heard these tracks so I can get the same reaction as Brad has. This video has given me so much nostalgia. Brad, you have to listen to Favourite Worst Nightmare!
Growing up my dad would listen to classical rock every day and blast it in the house. I started to really dislike rock because if hear the same like 10 songs over and over. When I went to college I discovered the Arctic Monkeys and thought they were good. Then I heard the ending of A Certain Romance...
Now I’m a massive fan of rock again!
