the lyrics are retarded, the songs are overly simple, the drums

if you were a british kid growing up in the late 90s/ early 2000s it's great to listen to just because of how much you can relate. that and its catchiness are the main reasons i guess

Yeah this, if I ever moved out of the U.K. this would be the album I listen to to remind me of it.

Probably my favourite 00's album. Classic. OP is correct, it's just so much fun.

Never cared much for the albums after Favourite Worst Nightmare though.

i actually like arctic monkeys, catchy britpop tunes about mundane everyday shit. Not meant to be deep

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not [Domino, 2006]
The great thing about this album is how untranscendent it is, as if these lads know the guitar-band pleasures are cons. Sing-along tunes? Breakneck momentum? Next-big-thing ambition? Saturday-night swindles every one. Instead Alex Turner and crew evoke club life as it is actually experienced. They sound like not knowing the doorman, like moving on a girl you think isn't pretty enough, like missing the bus in a leather jacket that doesn't keep out the cold. Many details are too U.K.-specific for Yank-yob gratification. But aesthetes will come to enjoy Turner's nuanced adenoids and his bandmates' thought-through arrangements. A-

This album is great for the same reasons as Original Pirate Material by The Streets. It perfectly captures the British lad culture while also sounding great.

>arctic
>monkeys

Pick one, monkeys don't live in the arctic region.

It's the UK's attempt at emo, and its pretty fun

Humbug is good

Suck it and see is pretty weak but has a few gems on it

AM is okay but like another band

>it's great because it sounds great
I see

One of my favourite albums. Probably favourite band alongside Rammstein.
It's catchy and they MADE it themselves, give them a break.
If you'd talk about the commercial pop/hiphop artists(who aren't nothing without a team that handles lyrics and the music) then I'd agree with their "simplicity" and "retarded-ness".
