      ​@@ind3n I'd even go a step further and say it's one of the best songs I've ever heard period. Lyrics are incredible, easy to understand but by no means devoid of wordplay and symbolism. Structure is unique and dynamic without going off the rails. Emotionally it just always put me in a good mood even though it's told through a pessimistic lens.
      10/10 perfect song. Have never shut it off

    Honestly this album perfectly captures being young in the UK. Especially the night life.
    The rowdy nights out, getting smashed in local pubs and bars, shitty clubs, drunken scraps, dodgy taxi's, the love/hate relationship with your home town and making it out the other end with your best mates with stories to tell for years to come.
    Guaranteed since this album came out, almost every British teenager has had a love affair with it at some point.
    So glad you discovered this absolute gem of an album!

    when the sun goes down is about a place here in sheffield, where they're from, if you drive over a bridge (heading out of town) you get to a red light district, which just means a place with loads of prostitutes, hence the references in the intro and outro. really cool to drive through and see what they're on about

The way people know they are prostitutes is if they have a red light on in their window, hence ‘you don’t have to put on your red light’ and ‘red light district’

(Don't expect it to be exactly as good, but be forewarned they have some interesting & kick-ass ideas on that album that I'm sure you'll love.)

Because although I loved early arctic monkeys I never really understood or appreciated just how good the first album was, considering when they made this they were a bunch of 16/17 yr olds from Sheffield. Just seeing the genuine joy on your face when deep down you went into this wanting to hate it, but after 1 track having the love of good music to throw away your earlier predjuces to love the fuck out of what you were listening to...love your reaction almost as much as the best debit album of all time.

It’s reminded me how good this album is because I haven’t listened to it for so long. Take me back to when I first heard these tracks so I can get the same reaction as Brad has. This video has given me so much nostalgia. Brad, you have to listen to Favourite Worst Nightmare!
