Arctic Monkeys – Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not LP Vinyl Record

Blazing out of high school obscurity to the top of the charts, The Arctic Monkeys built a huge internet following before releasing their first full-length album in 2006. “Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I Am Not” was a huge hit with listeners everywhere, topping the charts in the U.K. and climbing up to #24 on the Billboard 200 in the U.S. The album won the Mercury Music Prize and features hits with “I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor” and “When the Sun Goes Down.” 

Musically, “Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not” displays bits of The Stone Roses, “What’s The Story Morning Glory”, and “Nevermind”. As catchy as those reference points are, it’s the songwriting that has won the Arctic Monkeys a fiercely dedicated following; a mix of the observational storytelling of Davies and Weller crossed with the harsher documentary eye of Mike Skinner of The Streets and “Ghost Town” era Specials. This modern classic is an essential for any collection.
