If their debut defined a generation, this record shaped the band's future in a manner more mature, sexy and - just like the party depicted in the rowdy track 'This House Is a Circus' - berserk as f*ck. The first two singles from the album, " Brianstorm" and " Fluorescent Adolescent", were both UK top-10 hits. Included is that propulsive assertion for "D Is for Dangerous" with some scathing words for some wayward girl known as "Your favourite worst nightmare". The playful "This House Is a Circus" and the heavy "The Bad Thing" almost live up to the aforementioned, but new territory is achieved with the shimmering "Fluorescent Adolescent" and the Stray Cats-like "Only One Who Knows".

It was the band’s first album with new bassist Nick O'Malley, replacing their previous bassist Andy Nicholson, who left the band shortly before the North American tour of the band's debut studio album, Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not (2006). one can hear the great detail that has been put into the arrangement and structure of the song, yet if feels completely effortless at the same time. The thrilling second album, produced by James Ford and Mike Crossey, is a breakneck technicolour journey through screwball punk and guitar-fuelled dancefloor heroics; a brilliant racket that proves there's infinitely more to the Arctic Monkeys' than mere pop songs; though it has them in spades.UK's latest and greatest new sensation, The Arctic Monkeys, come up with a follow up to their smash debut, 'Whatever They Say I Am, I'm Not' with more experience under their belts.
