I went through that realisation almost had an orgasm getting right into all their good songs and actually listening to them properly for the first time.
I discovered AM first and loved it. Then I went back and listened to their older albums and loved them too. FWN is my 5th favorite album of all time in fact. That being said though I don't "hate" their new stuff and rather enjoy it. I think as a relatively new fan you don't have nostalgia clouding your judgement and can actually see and appreciate the evolution and diversity the band has brought over the past decade or so. This is one of the best bands in the WORLD, period. You guys should realize that.
Paolo Piecoro eh I disagree there friend. I feel like Alex's songwriting has definitely evolved and grew over the years and that shows in AM. Also, musically I feel like it's very diverse. There are a bunch of different sounds and instruments used that you just don't hear in WPSITWIN. Not to say that WPSIMTWIN isn't fantastic, because it it is.
Jesus Christ some people in these comments... Alex Turner's going on 30 and you're still expecting him to act as if he's 19? AM was a really solid album tbh, their old stuff will always hold a place in my heart, but Arctic Monkeys and Alex have changed their style now, you're just going to have to deal with it.
Fake Tales of San Francisco Echo through the room More point to a wedding disco Without a bride or groom There's a super cool band yeah With their trilbys and their glasses of white wine And all the weekend rockstars are in the toilets Practicing their lines I don't want to hear you (Kick me out, kick me out) I don't want to hear, you know (Kick me out, kick me out) I don't want to hear you (Kick me out, kick me out) I don't want to hear you I don't want to hear your Fake Tales of San Francisco Echo through the air And there's a few bored faces at the back All wishing they weren't there And as the microphone squeaks A young girl's telephone beeps Yeah she's dashing for the exit Oh she's running to the streets outside "Oh you've saved me, " she screams down the line "The band were fucking wank And I'm not having a nice time" I don't want to hear you (Kick me out, kick me out) I don't want to hear, you know (Kick me out, kick me out) Yeah but his bird said it's amazing, though So all that's left Is the proof that love's not only blind but deaf He talks of San Francisco, he's from Hunter's Bar I don't quite know the distance But I'm sure that's far Yeah I'm sure it's pretty far And yeah, I'd love to tell you all my problem You're not from New York City, you're from Rotherham So get off the bandwagon, and put down the handbook Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Get off the bandwagon and put down the handbook Get off the bandwagon and put down the handbook Get off the bandwagon and put down the handbook Get off the bandwagon and put down the handbook
They were good back then and they're good right now. For some reason the majority of this bands fan base doesn't realize that Bands and their music WILL CHANGE a lot over a period of time. Every newer album has sounded different than the one before it (for instance, college rock to surfer rock, surfer rock to mystical/dark rock, dark rock to "american" motorcycles and stuff rock, from american "rock" to darker yet "smooth" or "cool" rock. It has always been rock, and it has always been different) And Alex turner actually got his haircut during suck it and see..and that's a good album. Besides that, it's a haircut nothing special so i don't see why people complain. Well fault finders will find faults even in paradise.
that's your opinion. the newer songs are too clean and bland. they lack the raw energy here. i see you try so hard to defend them in this comment section, but just stop. it's annoying and everyone else disagrees with you
“Talking alone to Turner, I suggest he is hounded by an early lyric from "Fake Tales of San Francisco": "You're not from New York City, you're from Rotherham." Like Pete Townshend's "I hope I die before I get old," it's become a stick to beat him with in every interview, with the implication that he is now the person he was criticising. "No," Turner corrects. "I'm now the person those people were pretending to be." He grins. "That suddenly felt very crass coming out of my mouth. That lyric was just for a small circle of people, to make them laugh. It didn't occur to me that it would end up striking a chord with a larger circle."
When I first heard this album, I thought they were going to be some kind of leader of a new wave of punk. Maybe not punk necessarily, but something closer to that. I like where their style is now in a way, but fuck, don't yah just wish they still wrote songs like this?
nowadays people complain about the fangirls who are obsessed with Alex Turner and they only listen to AM and blah blah but i saw so many girls in this video so that's bullshit...and what i want to say is that music is for everyone and we are all free to listen to whatever we want and we react differently...so stop bitching around about the new style and music of the arctic monkeys and the new fans they gained since 2013...there's an evolution to everything...and that's how music works...if you want the old stuff back then listen to it there's no reason for complaining because believe me arctic monkeys don't give a fuck about our opinions they are going to do what they want to do...
This comment is 3 years old but you're spot on. I first heard of arctic monkeys cos of AM. That albums a master piece imo. But their early stuff rocks in a different way. Its ok to like different things. Its ok to like popular things. No need for the hipster police.
I just came by to remember my teen years and say thank you Arctic Monkeys for making me feel like a total badass listening to your music back then. Girls also thought I was cool when I introduced them to your album ;) Thanks for the memories
BEST SONG EVER! everything here is just its best fucking hell. Their vibe is so mad and full of ambition, they are just spitting out their honest thoghts, I love it! Their vibe here is so sharp and fun! I wish one day my band that I will start will be like the monkeys
I always hated people bashing their new stuff. I actually encouraged them changing styles and developing their sound. Because lets be honest so many artist died out because they didnt have the skills to improve or be creative and became stale. But tonight being super drunk and high i decided to put on some songs for the chilling and party I am at and I put on all the old songs. This is the moment I realized that how much i try to deny it.... their old stuff is the best.....
The song has been one of the band's signature tracks, with its popularity as the band's first recorded track. The song derides a fictional South Yorkshire band for taking its inspiration from the USA while never having been there, with lyrics such as "I'd love to tell you all my problem / You're not from New York City, you're from Rotherham", and "He talks of San Francisco, he's from Hunter's Bar". The song's title, however, has made it a fan favorite in the United States.
This album is the perfect demonstration of the minor pentatonic. They took a common scale and crafted it into something beautiful. Another reason why they are my favourite band
Im amazed at the amount of people in the comments who don’t understand that 1) People freaking change 2) Alex adopts an American accent and dresses/acts differently because that’s the THEME OF THE ALBUM. That’s the aesthetic and it’s part of the music.
I remember when their first album came out, the one moment nobody ever heard of them and the next week everybody was talking about them and wanted to see them and bought their album.. it was ridiculous but they totally deserved this 'hysteria'
El album " Whatever people say i am that's what i'm not " de 2006 de este grupo de Sheffield ( UK ) , es uno de los mejores de la primera década del Siglo XXI . Nada igual desde los noventeros Oasis en el panorama británico .
i agree Humbug showed there maturity not for the better, but to start again leaving behind 2 fantastic albums and continue to make 2 more and now possibly 3...
All of their music is awesome AM it's different but isn't "Comercial trash " as someone's called , the old music it's a like poetry and the new it's like sassy but romantic too, it's just a different style please wannabe hipster stop saying AM sucks cause their are famous now
Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not and Favourite Worst Nightmare are true masterpieces.
my two favourite albums ever
Love this album, but Favorite Worst Nightmare and Humbug are my favorite.
Larry Capinga fair opinion, yet AM has by far the most plays on Spotify
Quality over quantity
+michael numbarez also whatever people say i am thats what i am not isnt on spotify
Great line:
Is the proof that love's not only blind but deaf
literally one of my favourite lyrics of all time
Some great lines from the lads .. very clever .. dylanesque
Working class lyrics
HOW ARE ALL OF THEIR SONGS SO GOOD
!!!!!
I went through that realisation almost had an orgasm getting right into all their good songs and actually listening to them properly for the first time.
+get out THIS IS THE QUESTION I ASK MYSELF EVERY DAY
Because their new one's aren't.
Their new songs are good though, maybe not your type but they are objectively good when it comes to both lyrics and music
"And all the weekend rockstars are in the toilets
Practicing their lines"
genius
Glad I’m not the only way who thinks so, there are a couple of ways to interpret that line
When I used to work in bars this line was the most relatable
Great line the double meaning is aptly put
I've been listening to this album for almost 15 years and NOW is when I realize the true meaning of this... line.
Ohhhh wait wait. No, OHH
Ah 2006. A time where Matt had longer hair, Alex's hair was messier, Andy was the bass player, Jamie was skinnier, and they all had acne.

I shouldnt have laughed so hard at the acne part but i did hahahaha
So superficial... fuck you
Isn’t jamie skinnier now though

I miss this era and style of arctic monkeys. We may never get this again 😢
Not likely. As they get older, their sound matures more.
We never will. I like the new style though
XD
You'll like a band called The Doublejumps if you like this song
The New US Single!
Me and a couple friends are going to play this song at a pool party in a couple weeks, wish us luck!
Jobl ii two years late but how did it go
@Rab Donnelly aw... guess we’ll never know now :(
Bruh tell us how did it go
How did it go mate?
how did it go?
I love the fact in the early albums you can hear his Sheffield accent so well, and the songs are full of slang from the area.
Love's Not Only Blind But Deaf...
one of the best things I've ever heard.
I’d give anything to live inside this music video forever.
I love this song. ''you're not from New York City you're from Rotherham'' Awesome
The Arctic Monkeys are THEE best band of our decade!
Alex's accent in all albums are amazing:)
I love these guys..
To me this song is pretty much the unofficial anthem of Sheffield
Went to Hunters Bar junior :)
@@bentownsend4017 LMAO HI BEN
"The band ---------aren't very good----------- and i'm not having a nice time"

They changed the lyric, it was originally:

I’m from SF and I’ve seen them do this song live in SF and Oakland, needless to say the crowd was a “little” excited lol 😂
