Ultimately, Arctic Monkeys' second record was going to be successful regardless, so they could have just bashed out another album of observational singalongs, ignoring any press drubbings and indier-than-thou backlash that they might get for doing so. So its to their credit that they decided to change things up and push their boundaries a little – and it seems ironic that people are starting to grumble that, in fact, they'd rather the band had stayed the same all along. Do we not want our bands to grow, to expand, to experiment, to 'mature' (to use that ugly word)?

And yes, I'm not holding my breath for an album of Kid A significance, but Arctic Monkeys have at least shown us that they're not content to sit on their laurels. If there's one thing that Humbug has demonstrated, it's that they're not afraid to change their focus, even if it risks alienating some of their less dedicated fans.

tl;dr version: Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not may continue to be considered the 'definitive' Arctic Monkeys album, but to dismiss the rest of the band's output because it's different to that record is very short-sighted indeed.
