Free Music Notes for Favourite Worst Nightmare
Free Music Review: Fantastic
Hit: 5 Stars
It is like Franz Ferdinand's self titled album but with more brithish insight and awsome lyrics.Free Music Review: Favourite Worst Nightmare is good, but not throughout
Hit: 3 Stars
Artic Monkeys have a great sound, however, in my opinion the song "Florescent Adolescent" is much, much better than many other songs on the album. If they had more with this type of sound, I would easily recommend it to others. For now, I would just recommend a few of the songs. Free Music Review: Excellent Sophomore Effort
Hit: 5 Stars
It was probably hard enough for Arctic Monkeys to live up to the kind of hype that preceded the release of their first album let alone follow it with another album of equal quality. Yet that is precisely what they have done. I first heard about them through a couple of English music magazines I read regularly and bought the first album shortly after its release. That was so good there was no question as to whether I would give them another shot so I pre-ordered this a year ago and was delighted to hear that Arctic Monkeys are not just a one stroke wonder.
Favourite Worst Nightmare confirms that Arctic Monkeys are one of the freshest sounding rock bands around today. The band has good basic rock instincts that it blends with judicious touches of punk and alt-rock. This CD is loaded with winners. My favorites are Brianstorm (no, not Brainstorm), Teddy Picker, Flourescent Adolescent, Do Me A Favor, This House Is A Circus, If You Were There Beware, Old Yellow Bricks, and 505. Most songs are relatively short and to the point in the classic punk manner. My only complaint is that the album is short as well, clocking in at just under forty minutes.
If you are already an Arctic Monkeys fan, you know how good they can be. If you are unfamiliar with them and just curious, then I highly recommend Favourite Worst Nightmare if you enjoy the style of music described above.

I was a bit anxious about the new album from Arctic Monkeys, because most bands have problems to clear the bar of a great d?but. The first single, Fluorescent Adolescent, was not really what I expected from the band. I bought the record anyway, and am glad I did. FA as a single may not work, but its absolutely ok within the context of the whole album. Favourite Worst Nightmare rocks. That was the first thing I noticed. The songs are more mature, and are much harder than the ones on the first record. One could say that Arctic Monkeys just push on from where the first album ended. There is nothing that can stop these guys. If you liked the first one, you are going to love this one!Free Music Review: Not as Ground Breaking, BUT...
Hit: 4 Stars
This album is a step forward. Do not let my title fool you. Sophomore albums are often hard to pull off.. You either get accused of sounding too much like the first or too little like the first and have taken a far-out turn. This one sounds more like the first than it does not. You have a couple of instantly likable tracks such as the three singles. Then there are gems that are hard to find, but with a few listens you learn to appreciate them such as D is for Dangerous. I found more likable melodies than lyrics. Not to say Turner has not written some catchy lines, but the melodies and driven riffs are quite appealing. If I had to say anything negative about the album is that there are a couple of dead spots in it, where as their debut only had one IMO.
As a side-note everyone should check out the B-Sides of the singles because there are some 5 star songs there for sure. Makes you wonder what this album would have been like with a couple of those. I for one enjoyed the song featuring Dizzee Rascal. Check those out and then rate this album. To all the haters; you don't get much anyway so live your life blind! -PEACE-
