    What an amazing album, not even a single song I didn't like, absolutely worth listening to.

    Many many listens now. Better over the years. I think this should be considered a classic.

    The effects of this album seem to pop up in the charts now. - it seems to have had a ripple effect across the rock (and even 'pop') genre. Love the psychedelic element.

    An iconic album with amazing tracks from start to finnish , altough some track sound pretty similar , sonically , this is one of the sexiest , moody , and slick records of the last decade

    After Humburg and Suck it and See, Arctic Monkeys went to a whole new musical direction, from pure indie rock to slow, guitar riff driven songs, with lyrics talking about teenager love and alcohol (i was 17 at the time of the release of this record, i can relate to this).

    AM continues a pattern, then: every couple of years, the Monkeys make a great album, sounding tighter and more telepathic with each release. [Oct 2013, p.97]

    AM's a heavy seduction, restless and all the better for it.

    In the end AM not only signifies a career-defining moment that neatly places the band on a proper pedestal for all to admire--this is where not only Arctic Monkeys have come but in many ways, how they’ve masterfully conquered and continue to simply win.
