Pitchfork: Arctic Monkeys Reveal Debut Album Tracklist

Arctic Monkeys Reveal Debut Album Tracklist

Considering what the press has said about Arctic Monkeys recently, especially taking into account the hype their UK Singles chart topper "I Bet You Look Good On the Dancefloor" has received, they'd be the last band one would expect to release an album titled Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not. But because we aim to please, we'll attempt to play by Arctic Monkeys' rules.

Rule #1: Arctic Monkeys, who are not behind the upcoming record Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not (not due out on Domino on January 30 in the UK and Februrary 21 in the US), are not responsible for the recently announced tracklist you see below:

01 The View From the Afternoon
02 I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor
03 Fake Tales of San Francisco
04 Dancing Shoes
05 You Probably Couldn't See for the Lights but You Were Looking Straight at Me
06 Still Take You Home
07 Riot Van
08 Red Light Indicates Doors Are Secured
09 Mardy Bum
10 Perhaps Vampires Is a Bit Strong But...
11 When the Sun Goes Down
12 From Ritz to the Rubble
13 A Certain Romance

Rule #2: As previously reported, Arctic Monkeys cannot be held accountable for the release of their upcoming single, "When the Sun Goes Down", which is not available on both CD and 7" in the UK January 16 and the US January 24.
