Am slaps idk why music critiques hate it. This is my fav arctic monkey album, maybe my favorite album period but AM is a very good album and I'll die on that hill
It used to be my least favourite Monkeys album, though I have been warming to it lately. Still, WPSIATWIN and FWN > the rest of their work. Though that's not an insult to the other albums, it's a compliment to the first two. Imo, the arctic monkeys don't have a bad album.
Not many actual real Arctic Monkeys fans would say that. You have to recognise AM for the masterpiece it was while also realising how insanely good this album is.
this is one of the reason why i watch brad. when he doesn't like the album/song, he gives constructive criticism and explains why it doesn't sound good but when he likes it, he just straight up vibes with the song and it's so entertaining to watch
shut up (your username, not me telling you to shut up haha) I think that’s your personal opinion and not fact. Like how my opinion is Favourite a Worst Nightmare is my favourite of the AM discography. I think it’s unfair to call an album “the best” as if it’s up to you 🤷♂️
Here in the UK this record was massive, think it was the quickest selling debut of all time or something. They had so much energy and it was all grassroots north of England, classic record in the UK.
I remember their leaked demos being passed around on copied cds at my school in Leeds. Had like 20 tunes or something, including Choo Choo etc. The hype was so real
@@padawansound6423 That's fuckin ace, here down south east there was none of that but all the kids had it on those cheap USB MP3 players. Aahh what a time
@@EllisBailey458 Definitely Maybe by Oasis was front runner for best debut album ever. But then Arctic Monkeys came along with this! i'm not forgetting The Sex Pistols, but they are in a category all to themselves that being most important band and album. seriously, try and imagine what music would have been like last 40+ years if they hadn't happened. so many kids that wouldn't have ever bothered picking up and playing an instrument that they "couldn't play".
This is such a step up, I found the humour more funny than usual, editing good as always, liking this slightly new direction a whole lot - I hope you’re enjoying it to Brad sometimes a mild change in content is all you need to up your motivation
I went to university in Sheffield where the Arctic Monkeys come from. The whole album is very connected with the city, and is still huge amongst the student population. Went to a gig where a brass band played this album in full. Instead of anyone in the band singing, the whole 1500 person crowd sung every line together. Insane gig!
I’m from Sheffield and I know myself that if I have to explain where I’m from, I talk about the football teams first and then about where Arctic Monkeys are from
Nicholas Joyner I wouldn’t even say most cases tbh maybe for bands with groundbreaking debuts like AM I would agree but other than that usually the first album isn’t the greatest place to start
Freddy Hoser i feel like all the bands I loves best album is their first or maybe second like the killers, the strokes, metic, modest mouse although that might be a stretch. I think first albums are great to start with just to see how it all started and see how their music develops over time that might just be me idk
i'm always thinking about how brad never listened to the strokes or arctic monkeys before????? doesn't even make sense that someone who's this informed in music never got to listen some of the most famous band in the last two decades
Fun Fact : Arctic Monkeys debut album WPSIATWIN was produced by the same producer of first debut album of Catfish & the Bottlemen (The Balcony) , Adele (19 & 21), Kasabian debut album (Kasabian), Bombay Bicycle Club ( I Had The Blues But I Shook Them Loose ). He is Jim Abiss. Go google him peeps!
Lyrically, I’d say this is one of the best albums of all time. The way he writes from such an observational perspective that catches all the minutia as well is insane considering how young he was at the time.
I disagree. IMO their albums go: 1. AM 2. Favorite Worst Nightmare 3. Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino 4. Whatever people say I am, that’s what I’m not 5. Humbug 6. Suck it and see
“His bird says they’re amazing though, so all that’s left is the proof that loves not only blind but deaf” Alex had no right writing a line that hard at 20 years old
It's funny how Americans are always suprised by Dancefloor, it was such a massive hit over here in the UK that it's probably the song they are by far best known for.
This is iconic to everyone in Britain and is the perfect album for teenage and 20 year old life so if you don’t like this or say it’s simple I’m gonna be fuming😂
I think this is my first comment ever on youtube. I'm an adult and have never felt inclined enough to comment on a video until now. Give us part two so I can watch you melt.
I love all of Arctic Monkeys albums so much, it’s hard for me to pick a favourite. I appreciate them going in a different direction with each one, it means they stand out on their own. So glad you’re covering this Brad, this is one of my favourites! ❤️
As a huge arctic monkeys fan and musician myself I have to say that their debut feels MUCH more technically proficient than a lot of the later material. Some songs off the debut i struggled to learn for much longer than stuff off of say Humbug or AM. I’m not sure why there is a drop in the technicality for the instruments playing after the debut but having attempted to play a lot of Arctic Monkeys their debut is very technical compared to the rest and I think that shines through with the music from the album. The garage rock vibes are endless 🤙🏼
Holy shit Brad. You are liking Arctic monkeys finally. I enjoyed this Soo much, my heart was racing I was in awe and relief that you were liking the songs as much as I do. So this is what them girls felt when you liked trench! I'm sure that you will like the rest of the album, you will probably like favorite worst nightmare (next album) as well, it keeps a similar energy with some new elements. I hope you keep going through the Arctic monkeys discography, tho I'm pretty sure you will dislike the fourth and fifth album. But im still soo hyped that you liked this one. I don't know if you are into live performances but this songs live in a show with a great crowd are incredible. A great example is from Ritz to ruble (probably my favorite song of the album) in trnsmt festival a year or two ago, the crowd sings everything at the top of their lungs and the band plays as fast and as heavy as they did 15 years ago. I can't wait for the next video men, everything was on point and that was Tina's best cameo yet. Keep up the good work brad, and take care my dude
man this review is literally giving me goosebumps. amazing seeing someone go through this for the first time. brings back a lot of happy memories. the buzz when i heard their first demo was unlike anything ive experienced again (only hearing is this it for the first time compares).
Another great thing about the album is the story it tells in the first half. Alex turner takes the piss on night life and clubbing with great dark humor through different stories that we can all probably relate to from experience that we have had ourselves partying. Pay attention to the lyrics on the view from the afternoon (about meeting up with your friends, preparing for the party and hyped up with unrealistic expectations of the outcome) and Fake tells of San Francisco (talking about guys approaching girls and making up cool stories just to get laid. Something we have all done at some point hhehehe).
Oh this is great, I love how he started with HTBC and Humbug and made his way back here. This is why a lot of fans say just listen to the first two albums.
I accidentally stumbled upon "beneath the boardwalk" demo, one night in late 2005, on a file-sharing forum, months before the release of "Whatever People Say I Am...", before anyone I know (or anyone outside English indie-club scene, for that matter) ever heard about the Monkeys. .... I have never fallen in love with a band more quickly. All it took was a first couple of seconds of "A Certain Romance".
the fact that he came back after spending 3 years in jail just to start the review right where he left off, is actual dedication 💯 most underrated channel on youtube
This album is a masterpiece and a product of the times and their age at the time. We wont see something like these ever again, and even arctic monkeys are NOT able to ever do something like this again.
@@sanderaser8886 yeah maybe lol, i just want other Strokes album tbh, cause Brad literally butchered Room on Fire, maybe Angles or Comedown Machine will like him or not XD
I miss the Arctics. They were so tight, creative, and energetic in their early days. Oh, the rifts, solos, wordplay! Helders was an absolute beast drummer! They lost that gang of 4 vibe after about the 3rd album and they were spread all over the world. Alex stopped writing interesting stories I guess when he moved to Hollywood and just became about coke and models. I listened to this album so many times I wouldn't even want to guess and tried to learn all the songs on guitar. Their last album I labored to get thru once. AM showed they still can make great music. They are so talented I hope they come back guns a blazing!
Watching this was endlessly entertaining to me.. "Turn-man?.. You're Spoiling ME!!!" hahahaha as someone who was on board with the Monkeys at the beginning and then lost interest in their later music, it was like watching my 20 YEAR EXPERIENCE: IN REVERSE/ In 20 MINS.... hahahahah You're reactions are priceless, on-point and reminded me why they were/are one of my ALL TIMES FAVs. I'll be spinning the Turn-man like I'm 17 years old AGAIN immediately after this... THANKs for the MUCH NEEDED reminder...
This video I so good. Arctic Monkeys' career was built on how absolutely incredibly amazingly good this album is. Though they haven't ever been bad, they never made an album better than this one.
This was my childhood. In the UK we were given free tracks by AM online before their album. I remember proudly playing a AM track at school when I was 12 - we had a teacher who used to play music during the lesson. Them and Kaiser Chiefs were massive! I liked AM's first two albums but haven't liked any others; it is not the same sound and audience. That is okay - just not for me.
Funny how you've listened to the album's back to front that you think their debut doesn't sound like the Arctic Monkeys, but most others say their newest stuff doesn't sound like the Arctic Monkeys and that's why we're attached to this one, it's a classic.
The thing with Arctic Monkeys is that they have so much gutts and confidence (specially Alex) to experiment music in and try and mix up genres. You could easily observe this when Alex right at the peak of his fame went and did a side project and made The Last Shadow Puppets.
I'm using my last bit of data to watch this because I need to know what Brad Daddy (Braddy?) thinks of my favourite album. And I need to know RIGHT NOW
I loveeee this album! So great to see you enjoy it :D when this album was released they became THE BIGGEST deal in the UK, and I think the hype they created from this album was maybe a little difficult to replicate again. I do love a fair amount of stuff released after, but this is the only album of theirs I go back to often and can listen from start to finish. I think it is a good idea to react to more albums which are seen as classics :) Even though it can be funny to see you rip into stuff, I like seeing you enjoy yourself haha
You summed it up perfectly. I bought this album when I was 12 after seeing them on a repeat of Jools Holland on Xmas day at about 1am when I couldn't sleep. First album I preordered and was excited for. They captivated everyone out of the blue. So good.
oh my god Brad i've been waiting for this for ages, and you most definielty did not disappoint. Excellent editing, excellent video, can't wait for part 2
I was just smiling during the intro when you were talking about how slow and boring the other albums you heard are knowing this album haha. This is the album that even non-arctic monkeys fans like because its so good. And Alex was like 17/18 when he wrote all these songs.
It was the fastest selling debut album in UK history at the time
for good reason
Fastest selling UK debut album to be specific
@@kyle_hill_864 and it still is the fastest selling debut album by a band in the uk, craig david and susan boyle for solos

How is it? Favourite Worst Nightmare is upcoming. That’s hardly downhill
I thought you were talking about the tracks in the album for a second going downhill and got really angry

Someone seems to be forgetting The Black Parade reaction...
This is exactly what Arctic Monkeys fans mean when we say "don't just listen to AM, go listen to their earlier stuff"
Do I Wanna Know more like do I wanna know more than one Arctic Monkeys song?
Am slaps idk why music critiques hate it. This is my fav arctic monkey album, maybe my favorite album period but AM is a very good album and I'll die on that hill
AM is their best album, ratings and commercial performance wise. Get over yourself
It used to be my least favourite Monkeys album, though I have been warming to it lately. Still, WPSIATWIN and FWN > the rest of their work.
Though that's not an insult to the other albums, it's a compliment to the first two. Imo, the arctic monkeys don't have a bad album.
Not many actual real Arctic Monkeys fans would say that. You have to recognise AM for the masterpiece it was while also realising how insanely good this album is.
I didn't knew i needed a guy being mind-blowned by an album to remember how good it is
this is one of the reason why i watch brad. when he doesn't like the album/song, he gives constructive criticism and explains why it doesn't sound good but when he likes it, he just straight up vibes with the song and it's so entertaining to watch
It's genuinely one of the best albums I've ever had the honor of listening to
The reason people watch reaction channels is to see someone else enjoy the music they love, and it is such a good feeling.
It's kind of a bummer that on the tranquility base hotel video from 2 yrs ago he says he's heard this album before .
@@Snewtron he says so here too, but also that he's got very little recollection of it
Everyone nervous as hell for Mardy Bum. Don't mess with that one Brad. Don't
I hope he likes ACR. My favourite song ever
@@bentownsend4017 Same!!
I’m nervous about when the sun goes down

Tbh that's my only skip 🤣
I seriously hope that he listens to Favorite Worst Nightmares, I’ve been waiting for Brad to do them for AGES and I’m SO HAPPY
Best album
if he litsens suck it and see hell hate it
I want to see what he thinks of Teddy Picker. That song has consumed me.
First 2 albums are great and full of energy he needs to listen FWN
YEEESSSS
Man shakes his head & body uncontrollably to the sound of Arctic Monkeys for 15 minutes straight
And I loved every second of it

Yes he’s reviewing Adam Sandler’s most critically acclaimed album!!!!
once you see Adam sandler, you can’t unsee it
“This is so fast paced”. Oh boy wait until he hears Favourite Worst Nightmare haha
I really want Brad to listen to that, hands down my favourite Arctic Monkeys album lmao
Idk I have a loyalty to this one
Not as good as this one at all
shut up (your username, not me telling you to shut up haha) I think that’s your personal opinion and not fact. Like how my opinion is Favourite a Worst Nightmare is my favourite of the AM discography. I think it’s unfair to call an album “the best” as if it’s up to you 🤷♂️
I was thinking the same thing!
He just wanted to be one of the Strokes
But look at the mess we made him make
hitchhiking with a monogrammed suitcase
Miles away from any half useful imaginary highway
He’s a big name in deep space
Ask your mates
If he doesn't like this I'll be offended on a personal level this is the album that got me interested in music as a whole
This and OKC made me love music as a whole
@@shtefozoid1384 don't hate me but who's OKC?

@@TheXerosChannel ahhh have never understood that albums hype should probably try it out again
@@ahhhhyes it will click eventually. That album was celestial.
Why is no one talking about From The Ritz To The Rubble, best song ever

Not my favourite on the album, but my favourite to play on guitar (from this album)
Thank you.
Always gives me goosebumps that tune
Thank you!! so true

It is statistically impossible to reach adulthood in the UK without hearing I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor.
As someone who was born the year the song came out I can confirm this. Also one of my favourite songs
FINALLY, WE GOT HIM BOYS
I went to university in Sheffield where the Arctic Monkeys come from. The whole album is very connected with the city, and is still huge amongst the student population.
Went to a gig where a brass band played this album in full. Instead of anyone in the band singing, the whole 1500 person crowd sung every line together. Insane gig!
That sounds so epic, wish I was there ah
what a dream
I’m from Sheffield and I know myself that if I have to explain where I’m from, I talk about the football teams first and then about where Arctic Monkeys are from
I would’ve given anything to be there
Same bro, went to Sheffield Uni in 2018. Over a decade later and this album was still everywhere.
The View From the Afternoon is the greatest album opener of all time and that's not up for debate
The fact that it started with the words "anticipation has a habit to set you up" takes some balls for the debut
Idk man storm by Godspeed is pretty great
Wait until you get to: A Certain Romance
*you're not prepared for A Certain Romance*
My favourite song ever !!!!
true 😂
a certain romance en iyisidir hacım
He will do the headbanging on that track fo shooio
That song is so amazing.
He's gonna lose his mind when 'from the ritz to the rubble' starts
This is one of the reason why you shouldnt review in reverse.
Heavily depends on the artist/group
@@dallin1076 well i mean yes but in most cases you shouldn't
Nicholas Joyner I wouldn’t even say most cases tbh maybe for bands with groundbreaking debuts like AM I would agree but other than that usually the first album isn’t the greatest place to start
Arctic monkeys more recent stuff is a complete bore so its better going backwards and ending on a high note

i'm always thinking about how brad never listened to the strokes or arctic monkeys before????? doesn't even make sense that someone who's this informed in music never got to listen some of the most famous band in the last two decades
Just shows that he barely even listen to music, ac and strokes are pretty much baby's first indie bands
ah yes because everyone needs to listen to 00s and 10s rock albums for teenage girls
I'm a guy and this is my favourite album of all time
The Strokes and Arctic Monkeys are one of my favorite bands currently
@@dead_meat8362 look we got a boomer
Your opinion on Humbug made me wanna throw hands with the natural knuckle dusters but your redeeming yourself here.
Hello there!
humbug was shit tho
@@jb1197 it was not
It is
Humbug is their best album
Fun Fact : Arctic Monkeys debut album WPSIATWIN was produced by the same producer of first debut album of Catfish & the Bottlemen (The Balcony) , Adele (19 & 21), Kasabian debut album (Kasabian), Bombay Bicycle Club ( I Had The Blues But I Shook Them Loose ).
He is Jim Abiss. Go google him peeps!
You should also listen to some of the earlier B-sides like Matador and Da Frame 2R. Also “Who The F*** Are Arctic Monkeys?” is a great EP
Definitely! Bigger boys and stolen sweethearts and no busses are two of my favourite songs (tho i have a feeling Brad might not like those ones)
Ahh despair in the departure lounge now we’re talking
Catapult, blond o sonic shimmer trap!
The bakery, afternoons hat, leave before the lights come on too
oh no buses❤️ i’ve heard it like a thousand times and somehow i still hear it on repeat like every day
Lyrically, I’d say this is one of the best albums of all time. The way he writes from such an observational perspective that catches all the minutia as well is insane considering how young he was at the time.
Especially on Red Light^
This and Favourite Worst Nightmare way better than AM, it's a fact
I agree
100%. Though that's not an insult to AM, the first two albums are just so good.
I disagree. IMO their albums go:
1. AM
2. Favorite Worst Nightmare
3. Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino
4. Whatever people say I am, that’s what I’m not
5. Humbug
6. Suck it and see

“His bird says they’re amazing though, so all that’s left is the proof that loves not only blind but deaf” Alex had no right writing a line that hard at 20 years old
I'm shocked he's listening to this album in 2020 for the first time
Not the first time, he gave it a 68 on AOTY a while ago i think
It's not a big album in the US. Obviously in the UK it's one of the biggest albums of all time.
I was really shocked by how he reacted to 'i bet that you look good in the dance floor', like It was the first time he heard that song. Really weird
@@gabgab841 Same thing tho really. One of the biggest songs ever in the UK. Not huge in the US though.

From the Ritz to the rubble and when the sun goes down are miles better than a certain romance
@@PombaAbusada they are certainly great songs
Pedro Bragança from ritz to rubble is a close second to me - my favorite song to sing along to on the album
It's funny how Americans are always suprised by Dancefloor, it was such a massive hit over here in the UK that it's probably the song they are by far best known for.
When Brad reacts to 505 on their second album, I imagine him doing his shiny edit thing when the music goes all out
505 best arctic monkey song
Breaking news: he didnt..
BreaKing news: better not see that if you're a huge fan of FWN
On the bright side, he did ultimately like 505

Submarine soundtrack is incredible. One of my favourites 👍👍
Is it just me or did the quality of Brad's videos sky rocket. I mean Jesus Christ this is his funniest review😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

*THANK YOU* for giving Fake Tales the attention it deserves. I have friends from Rotherham and it's such an anthem.
I’m still waiting for Under Control getting an actual chance. #RoomOnFireGang
He’s probably listened through the album a couple more times offscreen before he came up with his final score.
I completely disagreed with that review but jesus christ it was funny

Definitely have to do Favourite Worst Nightmare someday.

yes
I don't think he would like them, but i'd be willing to suffer and see.
Okay 5 minutes in, in the clear so far, welcome to the good side of the arctic monkeys
Another great thing about the album is the story it tells in the first half.
Alex turner takes the piss on night life and clubbing with great dark humor through different stories that we can all probably relate to from experience that we have had ourselves partying.
Pay attention to the lyrics on the view from the afternoon (about meeting up with your friends, preparing for the party and hyped up with unrealistic expectations of the outcome) and Fake tells of San Francisco (talking about guys approaching girls and making up cool stories just to get laid. Something we have all done at some point hhehehe).
I've been waiting so long for this
One of the best debuts of all time! The energy, the riffs, the melodies, the drumming, everything is on point
Oh this is great, I love how he started with HTBC and Humbug and made his way back here. This is why a lot of fans say just listen to the first two albums.
I accidentally stumbled upon "beneath the boardwalk" demo, one night in late 2005, on a file-sharing forum,

before anyone I know (or anyone outside English indie-club scene, for that matter) ever heard about the Monkeys. .... I have never fallen in love with a band more quickly.
All it took was a first couple of seconds of "A Certain Romance".
Watching this man get his shit rocked by baby Alex is the best thing I've ever seen. LOVE early Arctic Monkeys
Can't wait for part two! The second half of the album is my favorite.
WE NEED PART 2. GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT!
the fact that he came back after spending 3 years in jail just to start the review right where he left off, is actual dedication 💯 most underrated channel on youtube
fortunately the camera was still set up and no one had rewound the tape. he was able to just press the button to unpause and carry on!

I'll be spinning the Turn-man like I'm 17 years old AGAIN immediately after this... THANKs for the MUCH NEEDED reminder...
Aw Fuk!! Who am I kidding?!>! hahahahahahahah
LMAO HIS REACTION TO THE FAKE TALES OF SAN FRANCISCO is soo meee like every single timee
Dude! The quality of your videos skyrocketed! Good job!!! Keep it up!
you should do Turn On The Bright Lights by Interpol
That album is one of my favorites of all time no doubt. I hope he reviews it.
Just for the pda outro 😍
yes yes yes YES YES YES
This would make my life complete.
U know he would just go like this during untitled “AHHHHHHHH”
love spending my mornings starting of these videos and yelling YOU DON'T KNOW at Brad with excitement
Bradley should have way more recognition for what he does. I can respect how he's brutally honest on the songs he reviews
This video I so good. Arctic Monkeys' career was built on how absolutely incredibly amazingly good this album is. Though they haven't ever been bad, they never made an album better than this one.
The editing in this is god tier i was laughing like crazy at parts omg😂
Gotta listen to Favourite Worst Nightmare next! But please upload Part 2 ASAP!
This was my childhood. In the UK we were given free tracks by AM online before their album. I remember proudly playing a AM track at school when I was 12 - we had a teacher who used to play music during the lesson. Them and Kaiser Chiefs were massive! I liked AM's first two albums but haven't liked any others; it is not the same sound and audience. That is okay - just not for me.
please do favourite worst nightmare!! it’s their best album x
Debatable

Not debatable
Wish I could listen to arctic monkeys for the first time again 😔 just pure joy.
I’m adding this to my “Brad’s reactions rewatch” playlist
Ok so you've made me fall in love with this album all over again. You'r'e ENERGY IS EVERYTHING
Funny how you've listened to the album's back to front that you think their debut doesn't sound like the Arctic Monkeys, but most others say their newest stuff doesn't sound like the Arctic Monkeys and that's why we're attached to this one, it's a classic.
I recommend listening to the last few seconds of riot van before jumping into the next song, they’re connected in the story and flow really nicely
Favorite Worst Nightmare is just this album but 1.5x better (IMO)
Couldn’t have put it better myself
It's definitely not. (IMO)
Yeah, no. Not even close.
@@cactaceous oh no my opinion is wrong!
The thing with Arctic Monkeys is that they have so much gutts and confidence (specially Alex) to experiment music in and try and mix up genres. You could easily observe this when Alex right at the peak of his fame went and did a side project and made The Last Shadow Puppets.
I'm using my last bit of data to watch this because I need to know what Brad Daddy (Braddy?) thinks of my favourite album. And I need to know RIGHT NOW
I never waited so long for a part 2 in my life
Its been a month
If you ejoyed this, you definitely should listen to Favourite Worst Nightmare man
I loveeee this album! So great to see you enjoy it :D when this album was released they became THE BIGGEST deal in the UK, and I think the hype they created from this album was maybe a little difficult to replicate again. I do love a fair amount of stuff released after, but this is the only album of theirs I go back to often and can listen from start to finish.
I think it is a good idea to react to more albums which are seen as classics :) Even though it can be funny to see you rip into stuff, I like seeing you enjoy yourself haha
You summed it up perfectly. I bought this album when I was 12 after seeing them on a repeat of Jools Holland on Xmas day at about 1am when I couldn't sleep. First album I preordered and was excited for. They captivated everyone out of the blue. So good.
I must admit that the beginning of this video is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in years.
I'm calling it: Brad is not gonna like red lights indicate doors are secured
I don't think he will like the "vampire" one, for me it's kinda meh
@@guilhermerosa6985 i always, always skip vampires.
You were all wrong, boys
@@danieldeburgh8437 Bruh the beginning is a bit eh but the middle onwards so is so sick
@@danieldeburgh8437 this is blasphemy
I wish I was this guy listening to this album for the first time again
No one:
Not a single soul:
Brad: F L A V O R
This album does kick ass
Screaming "BARS" to every other lyric is the only way to properly respond to this album. It's insane he wrote this at such a young age.
oh my god Brad i've been waiting for this for ages, and you most definielty did not disappoint. Excellent editing, excellent video, can't wait for part 2
I was just smiling during the intro when you were talking about how slow and boring the other albums you heard are knowing this album haha. This is the album that even non-arctic monkeys fans like because its so good. And Alex was like 17/18 when he wrote all these songs.
i keep coming back to this video because i love this album so much, and it’s so nice to live vicariously
The whole problem Brad is that you approached AM back to front. Now go forward through the later albums with a renewed sense of appreciation.
Genuinely dont think I've ever watched such a good reaction video. So informed, totally gets it, and was just having a great time.
