Noel sounds off on this version, but the song itself is still good, and even better live with the crowd singing along.

Became EVER so slightly stale toward the end, but a great album with amazing riffs, albeit repetitive lyrics.
Arctic Monkeys 2.5:
Remembered this existed after listening to FWN, so I put it on straight after. Tracks 3 and 4 feel much more heartfelt than the other early output from this band, which I think is my favourite side of Alex Turner as of yet. Despair in the Departure Lounge reminds me of The Bakery.

Morrisey is that one strange grandpa that says some questionable stuff but everyone still loves him
