Arctic Monkeys burst onto the scene with their debut album, "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not," released on January 29, 2006, under Domino Recording Co. This indie garage rock masterpiece clocks in at just over 41 minutes, packing a punch with its raw energy and sharp lyricism. The album opens with "The View From The Afternoon" and doesn't let up, delivering hit after hit, including the iconic "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor." Arctic Monkeys' debut is a testament to their ability to capture the essence of youth culture with a gritty, unpolished edge.

"Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not" is a bold, brash introduction to one of the most exciting bands of the 21st century, setting the stage for their future success.
