Good Points: Fluorescent Adolescent
Bad Points: All the other tracks!
General comments: I've been disappointed by this album. The Arctic's first album is one of my favourites ever but Favourite Worst Nightmare is has a different and quite depressing vibe which takes the fun out it for me.
Only 'Fluorescent Adolescent' reminds me of the cheeky, upbeat sound of the majority of 'Whatever People Say..." and the remainder of the album is much less accessible and I'd be really surprised if this album spawns more than one hit single.
You could argue that this album shows that the Arctics have grown up but I still think it's a shame because I thought they had something special going which alas now seems to be lost.

After the success of "Whatever people Say I am That's What I'm Not" the AM's were bound to stop the show again... thankfully they did. Favourite Worst Nightmare is absolutely addictive with amazing lyrics and fantastic guitar riffs - if you don't own it, buy it!

Arctic Monkeys are back with Favourite Worst Nightmare, and this is a fantastic follow up. The majority of the songs are perhaps not as up front and bold as on Whatever People Say I am That's What I'm Not but do not underestimate... By no means is this a difficult second album. The opening track Brianstorm is an absolute banger with the bands signature hard riffs, fluid guitars and lyrics with attitude. Follow up single Fluorescent Adolescent is wonderfully melodic and Alex Turner's voice seems ...

It's the most anticipated album since The Stone Roses' 'Second Coming'. And it's huge

When I heard that the Arctic Monkeys were releasing My Favourite Worst Nightmare, I was beside myself as the first time I ever heard I bet you look good on the Dancefloor; I was paralyzed by the magic of these monkeys and bought their first album. This second album is very different, but the new style is paralyzing, it makes you want to listen to it again, and again, and again... My Favourite Worst Nightmare is an excellent CD, with fast and slow songs, and a completely new style. 10 out of 10.
