Music Mondaze: A Ranking Of Arctic Monkeys Albums

The Arctic Monkeys pulled out their first performance in June of 2003. Since then, the band has released five studio-length albums and headlined stadium tours. They've totally invaded North America and have won over most teenage girls' with a Tumblr blog. To commemorate the Arctic Monkeys for their talent, beauty, and overall sass, here is the Arctic Monkeys' discography ranked:

5. "Suck It and See," 2011

"I etched the face of a stopwatch
On the back of a raindrop
And did a swap for the sand in an hourglass."

I'm a firm believer that the Arctic Monkeys don't have a single bad album (there are only five albums, so knock on wood that they keep this up). This is probably just one of their least popular albums. But don't let that fool you -- Alex Turner still has that same beautiful voice and this album is full of many obscure and beautiful lyrics.

4. "Humbug," 2009


"What came first, the chicken or the dick head?"

Honestly a great album and very edgy. You can really feel a sense of angst; not sure if that's what the band was going for, but they did a good job of showing it. The album has a lot of softly sung songs, like "Cornerstone" and "Fire and the Thud," that show how versatile they are, shifting from grunge-y sounds.

3. "Favourite Worst Nightmare," 2007


"Everything's in order in a blackhole."

All right, this is probably the album you listened to first prior to the release of "AM." It was the go-to album because everyone loved "Fluorescent Adolescent." But the album is easily one of my favorites. "This House Is a Circus" is such an underrated song, and "505" is the classic love song. There are just way too many songs on this album that really tie the whole thing together.

2. "AM," 2013


"And her lips are like the galaxy's edge."

Definitely a different and more mellow turn in my opinion, but still very rock-and-roll. Lyrically a beautiful and genius album, and totally feels westernized, appealing more to the masses of North America. I want to say this was the breakout album that got everyone's attention in the States, if they weren't listening already.

1. "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not," 2006


"Can't we laugh and joke around
Remember cuddles in the kitchen
Yeah, to get things off the ground
."

This is literally the epitome of indie/garage/punk/grunge/rock music, all mashed together. I can't begin to explain the pure gold of this album, but then again, how could I? You'd have to listen to truly appreciate it. There isn't a single song I don't love on this album. I'm a little biased, but this is definitely their best album and the reason I fell in love with the band.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
