Before everyone starts bashing this album by saying "oh, it's not as great as they're debut" or saying it's just plain garbage. I'll say it here that I love this album. It may not be the most emotionally invigorating, the most energetic or the most groundbreaking album I've ever heard. Hell, It's not even the Arctic Monkey's best, obviously. But it has a charm to it. It's just a lot of fun throwbacks to the retro 1966 era, pop melodies with psychedelic aspects. Just one of the albums to play during the summer time. Plus, this has some of the best singles of this decade thus far.

A pretty OK album from a band who are consistently pretty OK. Possibly their most forgettable album, but quite probably their most pleasant to listen to. They've never done anything I dislike, but they rarely do anything that excites me either. I'm glad they exist though, it's nice to have a pretty OK indie rock band around. The best thing they've done is still that Who the Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys? EP, but I don't really have a problem with anything from their discography. Great live too.

I liked what they did with their sound here, very different from Humbug, but Humbug was very different from Favorite Worst Nightmares too.

I actually enjoyed this album. It's probably my least favorite Arctic Monkeys album but it's still a good album.

Totally: I've listened to it like 3-4 times and I don't remember a tune.

This album always felt like a safer, "gonna-return-to-form" follow-up to the darker, less consistient but far more interesting Humbug. Echo others that say while none of it is bad, absolutely nothing has lingered either. Nice to see they've finally moved on and grew up a little with AM, always been a band that has struggled through the massive hype put upon by others.
