Favourite Worst Nightmare (Pt. 1)

The Big Mates discuss Avril Lavigne, Stewie Griffin, Duran Duran,
and Favourite Worst Nightmare by Arctic
Monkeys. 


Adam, Steve, and Lucas begin their dissection of the band's
follow up to the hugely successful debut by talking about awards
ceremonies, the mounting pressure they must have felt, and the
attitude going into the creation of the record. 


They discuss the writing, rehearsal, and recording of the album,
explore the overall themes and sound, and begin their
track-by-track analysis, exploring the composition, tone, lyrics,
meaning, and context for each song in turn - all from three
differing perspectives, from being deeply into music and
analysis, to not caring for art or critique, and everything in
between!


How did the band expand their sound? How do you eat a creme egg?
Will Arctic Monkeys take our advice on what to do after their
first album? Find out on this episode of What Is Music?


Our next episode is out next week, Monday July 21st, and will
continue the deep-dive into Favourite Worst Nightmare!
