Favourite Worst Nightmare is the highly anticipated and by no means ‘difficult second album’ for the Arctic Monkeys. In an era and genre which is bloated with (over) hyped new bands whose second album has majorly disappointed (The Libertines, Franz Ferdinand and Razorlight to name but a few), Arctic Monkeys have managed to grow and evolve on their second album. The lead single and album opener ‘Brianstorm’ goes to show that the Monkeys are back and they mean business. It is testament to the greatness of the album that it is still in the charts almost a year after initial release.
