Arctic Monkeys - Favourite Worst Nightmare

ARCTIC MONKEYS - FAVOURITE WORST NIGHTMARE, album to be released UK April 23rd 2007.
Encoded 192Kbps [Lame] mp3. Covers included.
Arctic Monkeys are an English four-piece indie rock-post-punk revival band originating from High Green, a suburb of Sheffield, England. Formed in 2002, the band currently consists of Alex Turner on lead vocals and guitar, Jamie Cook on guitar, Matt Helders on drums and backing vocals and Nick O'Malley on bass guitar, a position formerly held by Andy Nicholson. Arctic Monkeys achieved chart success with their first two singles, 'I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor' and 'When the Sun Goes Down', reaching number one in the UK Singles Chart. Their debut album 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not' became the fastest-selling debut album in British music history and received critical acclaim, winning the 2006 Mercury Prize.
'Favourite Worst Nightmare' is their second studio album that will be first released in Japan on 18th April 2007, followed by the United Kingdom on 23rd April 2007 and in the United States a day later. Recorded in East London's Miloco Studios with "new rave" producer James Ford, the album was preceded by the release of new single 'Brianstorm' on 16th April 2007. The music video for the song features the band playing in a sparse sepia set, interspersed with clips of female dancers in front of a large computerised display, stock footage from old medical educational programs and brief flashes of images of objects mentioned in the lyrics, such as "Brian" "jacuzzi" and "thunder".

Snarly and stone-sharpened, the Arctic Monkeys open their sophomore effort with "Brianstorm," a bracing blast of guitar fractures and rhythmic herky-jerks. Alex Turner's voice is the centerpiece, scoured the way the Streets' Mike Skinner's quick. Favourite Worst Nightmare moves from frontal blast quickly to the lean, mid-paced pop nugget, "Teddy Picker," which even with its clear guitars and straight rhythms still has Turner's tart intonation piercing the air. The tugging bass and guitar of "Fluorescent Adolescent" show shades of the retro-soul tip that drives Amy Winehouse (and Lily Allen), showing that the Arctic Monkeys have a taste for the dancefloor that spans generations, even if their guitars can cut across each other with relentless jaggedness while Turner's caustic pipes lasso the ears. Nightmare expands the band's reach, as when "Do Me a Favour" goes wonderfully haywire from tumbling rhythm, clear-guitar, and fluid narrative to a cresting blast of guitars--big and brawny and borne from the merely tumultuous, like the band itself. --Andrew Bartlett

Product Description
While this sophomore release is unmistakably Arctic Monkeys, everything's a little more muscular and aggressive. Each song is embedded with revelatory moments, as if some sort of critical mass is achieved through skillful song craft and sharp arrangements until an explosive release of energy or emotion is inevitable. Arctic Monkeys have exceeded expectations with this record.
