"What characterises Arctic Monkeys as a great band and not just a good band in my opinion is the genius of Alex Turner's lyricism. This album may not have the same blinding wit as their first nor the poetic abstract imagery of their third but that's not to say this album has its own moments of brilliance. Songs like "Only Ones Who Know", "Do Me A Favour", "Florescent Adolescent" and "505" deal with the angst felt my many 18/19 year olds leaving school for college in a very honest way. Lines like

"Well all the little promises they don't mean much
When there's memories to be made"

"It's these times that it tends,
The start to breaking up, to start to fall apart
Oh! hold on to your heart."

Are laden with a poignancy and create a sense of a person's comfort zone being torn down and replaced by the uncomfortable vulnerability of a lone individual.

Intentionally or not the speed of this album reflects the speed of these changes. For these reasons I dare call this album a concept album a very good one at that."

"My favorite Arctic Monkeys album. It is darker sound-wise and lyrics-wise, which is a always a plus in my book. Most importantly, I think the songs themselves are all incredible. Alex Turner's lyrics are once again fantastic and all band members are great on their respective instruments. Love it."
