They still have a kinetic nervous energy, but this isn't a quartet that bashes out simply three-chord rock & roll. Favourite Worst Nightmare hardly abandons the pleasures of their debut but instead frantically expands upon them. That constant year of work resulted in startling growth as the band is testing the limits of what they can do and where they can go.

Unlike any of those three bands, however, the Arctic Monkeys haven't stumbled on their second album they haven't choked on hubris, they haven't overthought their sophomore salvo, nor have they cranked it out too quickly. Here, they're absorbing their influences, turning their liberal borrowings from the Libertines, the Strokes, and the Jam into something that's their own distinct identity. The Arctic Monkeys surely showed potential on Whatever People Say I Am, but their youthful vigor often camouflaged their debt to other bands. Some may call it striking when the iron is hot, cashing in while there's still interest, but Favourite Worst Nightmare is the opposite of opportunism: it's the vibrant, thrilling sound of a band coming into its own. All year long they toured, rapidly writing and recording their second album, Favourite Worst Nightmare, getting it out just a little over a year after their debut, a speedy turnaround by any measure. Heady stuff for a group just out of their teens, and they weathered the storm with minimal damage, losing their bassist but not their sense of purpose as they coped in the time-honored method for young bands riding the wave of enormous success: they kept on working. Lead singer/songwriter Alex Turner had to be the best songwriter since Noel Gallagher or perhaps even Paul Weller, and their debut, Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, at first was hailed as one of the most important albums of the decade, and then, just months after its release, NME called it one of the Top Five British albums ever. It wasn't enough for the Arctic Monkeys to be the best new band of 2006 they had to be the saviors of rock & roll.
