Arctic Monkeys - Your Favourite Worst Nightmare Review

Posted by Mitch Michaels on 04.24.2007

Can the biggest band in the UK avoid the sophomore slump?

My Story: In late 2005, early 2006, a new rock sensation exploded on the UK scene. The band was called the Arctic Monkeys and their debut album was the most successful in British history. Now, that would be impressive if the British music industry wasn't so quick to jump on ANY indie rock band as "The Best Thing Of All Time". Hell, I think even I have a million-selling album over there. Still, the Monkeys did manage to hit the Top 25 on this side of the pond, which was enough for many Americans to also stand up and take notice.

With their sophomore album ready to hit stores, will the Arctic Monkeys be able to show even more fans what all the fuss was about, or will they go down in history as another very successful British flash in the pan?
