I do consider this one of their best albums, although that's not my reasoning for placing this on here. Remember the whole, pay your own price deal? They might not have been the first to do it but, come on...Radiohead did it. One of the most popular bands on the planet. They somewhat advanced the evolution of the music industry with that move.

Yeah I could see this getting more coverage than OK Computer and such do to it's possible impact on the industry.

Yes, Arctic Monkeys. I can hear everyone bitching already.

You'll actually find a surprising amount of love for them here on MB. I prefer FWN myself but it's a good album and was a refreshing sound when it came out.
