Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not (2006)Arctic MonkeysAlt. Rock Arctic Monkeys is a teenage quartet that was formed in Sheffield, England, in 2003. They create vibrant punk-inspirited sound, which is well suited for Britpop and alternative rock fans. Arctic Monkeys' music is influenced by Franz Ferdinand (punk-funk guitar riffs), The Libertines (frantic rhythms and dashes of ska) and The Strokes (laconic, distorted vocal). Their early demos circulated on the Web as MP3s. Those demos built the band a rabid fan base before the Monkeys had released a record, even before they played more than a handful of gigs. In effect, 118,501 copies were sold in the first week after release. However, I do not like this album. In my opinion, "Whatever People Say I Am" is an unsuccessful combination of Franz Ferdinand, The Libertines and The Strokes. I'm disappointed. |
