TimP.Jun 26, 2007Not altogether unlike their debut album, "this album just continues where they left us only a few months ago and solidifies them as yet another amazing British talent.

JustinJan 17, 2008Every song on here is brilliant, I especially enjoyed Do Me A Favor and Teddy Pickers.

LucasW.Feb 16, 2008The most creative and progressive type album for a long time, arctic monkeys and muse are the only two bands leading the music world forward into musical change and development. Great album!

May 8, 2012Favourite Worst Nightmare is an improvement of what the band was capable to do when they made their solid debut.

May 31, 2011A very good album from a very good album. "Brainstorm" is a pure classic, and is supported by great tracks such as "Teddy Picker" and "Fluorescent Adolescent". Overall, this album has more than enough of the Arctic Monkeys we got to know and love from they first album to make this a worthwhile buy.

Aug 9, 2012Seldomly seen such a good album! Fantastic lyrics, fantastic voice, fantastic music! Some songs are a bit too less entertaining but that's just a little bit ;) Really good album though! Arctic Monkeys improved their debut album but sadly got worse with their two following albums. However, this is awesome!

Jan 3, 2015Anxious, very powerful, clever, transparent. FWN plays a continuation of all that great hysteria and talent these guys showed up in their debut album, but with a clearer sense of auto critic, melancholy and precision. Excellent songs, human feelings: a truly fantastic band that plays each time better.

Nov 11, 2014Not quite as good as the first album but still an absolute classic. To begin with this was my favourite Arctic Monkey's album but after I started listening to the first one I started to like that more.
-
Apr 4, 2015Many of the tracks at the start and middle of the album are simply stunning but where the debut album didn't let up it feels like FWN does. 'This House Is A Circus' and 'The Bad Thing' are not on the same extremely high level of the other songs. 505 is a fitting conclusion however.

Sep 9, 2016Where "Whatever People Say I Am..." took place in and around a raving London Club, "Nightmare" is of another location, perhaps the alley behind it. It's darker, moodier, more adventurous, and therefore, that much more enjoyable than it's predecessor.

Jan 12, 2023Great! Amazing! Full of anthems from start to end. It obviously marked a generation and it's my favorite from AM until today.

May 26, 2020this album is a masterpiece. simply incredible in all details. Arctic Monkeys
-
Mar 11, 2021Grossly underrated album. 505 is one of the greatest singles produced by Arctic Monkeys. The album has smooth and chilled vibes, it wasn't written for those craving adreniline.

Oct 23, 2022simply the best, my favourite, this album made the arctic monkeys my favourite band. this review is too late but still
-
Jun 23, 2023They explored a lot of new ways to make indie music sound nice and they did it, this album have a lot of hits with easy, but good guitar riffs and i have to admit that i was really surprised with the drums, that is an awesome album and one of their best
-
Apr 16, 2023An amazing sophomore album that delivers tracks that are just as good and iconic as the debut album , making you wonder where the monkeys will go with their music next

Under The RadarFavourite moves forward not one inch from Whatever, which is safe and reliable, but also repetitive. [#17, p.82]
-
In the tradition of thorny newbie bands that get scarily too big (Nirvana, Radiohead, Weezer), they’ve followed their funny, catchy debut with a less funny, less catchy second record to prove how little they trust the good times their music obviously inspires.
-
UncutFavourite Worst Nightmare is a near-triumph, a far superior Album #2 than Meat Is Murder, The Libertines, or Second Coming. Yet some doubts nag, partly because of the subject matter. [May 2007, p.84]
