Whatever
People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not
A
stunning debut...Musically, there are bits of The
Stone Roses, What's The Story Morning Glory, and Nevermind.
However, as catchy as those reference points are,
it's really the songwriting that has won the band
a fiercely dedicated following; a mix of the observational
storytelling of Davies and Weller crossed with the
harsher documentary eye of Mike Skinner of The Streets
and Ghost Town era Specials. Already this album is
the fastest selling British debut of all- time.Recently
