Arctic Monkeys Go Bananas On Album No. 2

Arctic Monkeys Go Bananas On Album No. 2 Regardless of where you stand on their music, it’s hard not to be impressed with the Arctic Monkeys. Here’s an indie rock band that skyrocketed to fame thanks to widespread fan-made demo tapes and good use of the internet as a marketing tool. Unlike a lot of the manufactured studio-created bands that plague the airwaves nowadays, the Arctic Monkeys are around because they fought really hard to get here. And they were lucky enough to make it.

For those who were wildly impressed with their debut, Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, which is up for a Grammy for best alternative album, there is plenty more where that came from. The Arctic Monkeys are releasing their follow-up CD, Favourite Worst Nightmare, on April 23 internationally and the following day in North America.

In comparing the two albums, producer James Ford told Billboard: "It's quite a bit heavier in some places--there's also some really nice songs on there … Some of the songs maybe [have] more depth to them. [It's] maybe not quite as instant as the first one."

The first one sold 360,000 copies in its first week on the British charts, and has sold 294,000 in the U.S. to date. Consider that a tough, but not insurmountable, act to follow.

Here is the track list for Favourite Worst Nightmare:

"Brianstorm" (which will be released as the first single)
"Teddy Picker"
"D Is for Dangerous"
"Balaclava"
"Fluorescent Adolescent"
"Only Ones Who Know"
"Do Me a Favour"
"This House Is a Circus"
"If You Were There, Beware"
"The Bad Thing"
"Old Yellow Bricks"
"505"
