Alex Turner are 19 ani. A funny face. Acnee. Si o formatie. Cu un basist grasun, cum se cuvine. Care cinta incredibil. Primul lor single (I bet you look good on the dance floor) a intrat direct pe primul loc in topul britanic. Primul lor album (Whatever people say I am that's what I'm not; yeah they have a penchant for long titles) a devenit bestselling debut album of all times. Ladies and gentlemen, please believe the hype: it's the Arctic Monkeys!
OK, multa lume le stia demo-urile, vreo treizeci la numar; baietii din Sheffield (remember The Full Monty)au acceptat cu larghete sa fie postate pe net. Am vrut sa scriu atunci (prin octombrie, cind mi-au ajunst la urechi) despre ele, dar pe atunci lumea se mai extazia la alde Kaiser Chiefs, asa ca am asteptat.
Arctic Monkeys vin din colcaiala lumpena a oraselor industriale britanice, precum altadata Beatles (Liverpool) ori Oasis (Manchester), lumea lor este aceea pestrita a housing estate-urilor, a Morris-urilor, Rover-urilor si Ford Fiesta-urior scrojite si pe butuci, a fish-n'-chips-ului cumparat la 12 noaptea de la soiosul Take Away local (that's if you don't go for the kidney pie

), dupa enshpe mii de halbe date pe git "down the pub", a cluburilor de mina a treia in care englezoaice rubiconde si cu burtica pe afara se fitiie cu cocktailurile (Smirnoff and blackcurrant, you know the lot) in mina, si apoi, pe la trei, se bat abitir in parcare cu iubitii lor sau cu "that fookin' cunt who dared snog them". A tricourilor de poliester cu Sheffied United si England, a baltilor de urina de la colturile de cladire (the smell of piss on your stilettoes, cum magistral a zis odata Damon Albarn).
Pe linga asta, AM mai au: forta (The View from the Afternoon, You look good on the Dance Floor, Fake Tales of San Francisco, Scummy), gratie (Mardy Bum, Riot Van), umor (A Certain Romance, Scummy), ironie si inteligenta in observatia sociala (all of the above & all the rest), o inventivitate melodica neegalata de vreo formatie de azi (si The Strokes au cam bulit albumul al treilea, so there), niste solo-uri dementiale (A certain romance, From the Ritz to the Rubble).
Piesele de rezistenta sint Mardy Bum (seducator hibrid intre Pulp's "Bar Italia" si The Streets), I Bet You Look Good on the Dance Floor (anthem), Scummy ("I've seen him with girls of the night/And he told Roxanne to put on a red light/We're all infected but he'll be alright/Cause he's a scumbag, don't you know), si incredibilul amestec de "rap" si sound a la QOTSA din From the Ritz to the Rubble.
My God, do they swagger and strut. Contopind postura "I'm wasted and you can all fuck off" a lui Pete Docherty (AM e datoreaza multe genialilor Libertini) cu postura "I'm smart and you can all fuck off" a lui Mike Skinner, Alex Turner are uneori si vunerabilitatea posh a lui Jarvis Cocker. Which is amazing for a kid.
The thing is, if you can get the demos, get them. Feelingul finisat al albumului de studio a acoperit multe din subtilitatile perceptibile in variantele mai raw cu un "wall of sound", impresionant ce-i drept, dar cam nivelant. In plus, au lasat afara unele cintece meritorii (minunatul Bigger Boys and Stolen Sweethearts, Waving Bye to the Train of the Bus, Still Take You Home) si au introdus altele mai putin (Perhaps Vampires is a Bit Strong, but You were Looking Straight at Me).
10/10 (demos), 9.5/10 (album)

Pour la bonne bouche, versurile de la A Certain Romance (granted, they need that guitar to work their magic, but still...):

Oh they might wear classic reeboks
Or knackered converse
Or trackie bottoms tucked in socks
But all of that's what the point is not
The point's that there ain't no romance around there

And there's the truth that they can't see
They'd probably like to throw a punch at me
And if you could only see them then you would agree
Agree that there ain't romance around there

You know, oh it's a funny thing you know
We'll tell 'em if you like, we'll tell 'em all tonight
They'll never listen
'Cause their minds are made up and course it's all OK to carry on that way

And over there there's broken bones
There's only music so that there's new ringtones
But it don't take no Sherlock Holmes
To see it's a little different around here

Don't get me wrong though there's boys in bands
And kids who like to scrap with pool cues in their hands
And just 'cause he's had a coupla cans
He thinks it's alright to act like a dickhead

Don't you know, oh it's a funny thing you know
We'll tell 'em if you like, we'll tell 'em all tonight
They'll never listen
Cause their minds are made up
And course it's all OK to carry on that way
I said no, oh no
Oh you won't get me to go
Anywhere, said anywhere
I won't go
Oh no no

Well over there there's friends of mine
What can I say? I've known 'em for a long long time
And yeah, they might over step the line
But I just cannot get angry in the same way
Oh not in the same way
Well not in the same way
Oh no
Oh no no
