Posted May 13, 20187 yr Arctic Monkeys 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not' With the release of the new album, I thought I'd start a series of rates of the Monkeys' previous albums, starting with the first one. All the tracks are listed below. All tracks are to be rated between 0 and 10. You can give one 11, one -1 (although there is no compulsion to do so) and I will also allow half (.5) scores as well. xx The View From the Afternoon xx I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor xx Fake Tales of San Francisco xx Dancing Shoes xx You Probably Couldn't See for the Lights but You Were Staring Straight at Me xx Still Take You Home xx Riot Van xx Red Light Indicates Doors Are Secured xx Mardy Bum xx Perhaps Vampires is A Bit Strong But... xx When the Sun Goes Down xx From the Ritz to the Rubble xx A Certain Romance I will leave the voting up for two weeks, so the deadline is Sunday 27th May, 11 PM.

May 13, 20187 yr Author I have not included the b-sides/other tracks that were released around this time - if there is enough interest, I will do those as a separate rate. Two of my top five AM tracks of all times aren't album tracks!

June 4, 20187 yr Author Bit late, but results will start one evening this week. Thanks to everyone for voting. (:
