2 views of the Arctic Monkeys album 'Whatever people say I am that's what I'm not'

I bought the Arctic Monkeys album the other day and it's only my opinion but I really cannot see what all the fuss is about. The lyrics are as far away from poetry than the feet are from the head. Alex Turner sounds like Mrs. Merton on Prozac!

The worst title but the best album of the year by a country mile!
I'm always a bit sceptical when a band is touted as the next big thing as the Arctics were. But there was no hype here. The band are brilliant.
The first time I played it I thought 'yeah, ok' but then I played it some more (minimum 5 times before you judge it) .
The melodies are strong and the lyrics are amazing. Listen to them. Don't tell me you've never been out on a night and seen these scenarios. And the musicianship is superb!
I just hope they can continue it over to the next album...and the next.
Is Sheffield the next Liverpool?
