Arctic Monkeys are in all senses and shapes how WSG thinks Rock & Roll should sound these days. Simple and effective, aggressive but sweet.
What they lack in charisma (yes, Alex is a fucking blast but they’re no Strokes baby), they compensate with dynamic catchy tunes and awesome lyrics. Just like the UK has got us used to.
Alex IS Arctic Monkeys. He writes the lyrics, he is the good looking one and he sings like a mad man (his voice is bloody powerful).
Their highlight and most precious work still is (and by the look of things will be), Favourite Worst Nightmare. It’s pure, transparent and catchy, I would even say it’s one of the top-10 Rock & Roll albums of the past 5/6 years.
What WSG likes more about it is the fact that it opens and closes with probably the 2 best AM songs.
