Whatever People Say I am, That's What
I'm Not
What does a dude sound like when he’s
singing with a cigarette and a pint in his hands? Most likely
like Alex Turner of Arctic Monkeys. The clear successor to the
UK’s favorite band of all time (even more popular than
The Beatles!), Oasis,
the Arctic Monkeys combine their, uh, Britishness with the brashness
of The Libertines producing
a sound that doesn’t belong inside the pub, but
outside when the brawls start. There’s sort of a mob feel
to the whole album with herky-jerky movements and bratty group
singing. For some reason skewering people in a drooling Anglican
accent in front of a thumping bassline inspires Brits to buy
albums, and that they did. Didn’t this thing sell more
than Thriller in the UK? I could listen to him say
“scoombag” all day long. Funny and entertaining. |
