Arctic Monkeys - Brianstorm

The first thing to notice about the Monkeys' first effort from their
fast approaching sophomore long player is a slightly heavier sound to
their norm – however, its Fugazi-lite opening soon gives way to a
familiar Monkeys' hook and Brianstorm becomes something altogether
more recognizable. The lyrics appear a pithy critique of a certain
contemporary type ("we can't take our eyes off the t-shirt and ties
combination, well see you later, innovator") and in being so are more
or less in keeping with what we've come to expect. This isn't entirely
bad; even if Turner's vaguely self-righteous reverse-snobbery is
starting to grate. [Leigh Pearson]
