Hot on the heels of their shock UK No 1 single I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor Whatever People Say I Am Thats What Im Not confirms Sheffields Arctic Monkeys as the UK undergrounds most proselytizing young preachers of the DIY gospel Marrying nervy caffeineandcigarettes indie clatter to conversational pretensefree lyrics and the occasional burst of offthecuff eloquence No time for Montagues or Capulets/Just banging tunes and DJ sets proffers Dancefloor its an instant pulseracing hit

No question the Monkeys are more sinners than saints The opening The View from the Afternoon predicts a ruckus with a whole lot more grit than the Kaisers can muster while on the mellow Riot Van a tale of underage drinking and copbaiting culminates in a messy beating in the back of a station wagon Look beyond the Arctics bristly laddish exterior however because its actually affairs of the heart that comprise this albums secret core see the sweatypalmed Dancing Shoes bearing testament to the trial of nerves that is pulling in a suburban indie nightclub or Mardy Buma tribute to a moody girlfriend that for all its witty barbs Ive seen your frown and its like looking down the barrel of a gun is tinted with sweet affection
