专辑介绍

北极猴并未因首张专辑的成功而懈怠，2006年4月24日他们发行了一张包含5首歌的EP专辑《Who the Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys？》（谁是TMD北极猴）。这次发行并没有取得很大成功，反而因为各种各样的问题遭到了很多非议：因为长度既不符合单曲也不符合专辑，这张作品没有进入任何一个榜单。再加上专辑名称含有不和谐的语言，广播量也相较于处女专辑有了明显的减少。更有人认为这部紧接着处女作发行的唱片有捞钱之嫌。北极猴对此的回应是这只是正常的新音乐的发布，乐队只是不想在接下来的三年里都用一张专辑的曲目进行巡演。

Who the Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys? was the second EP by Sheffield indie rock band Arctic Monkeys, first released on 24 April 2006 (see 2006 in British music). The EP featured "The View from the Afternoon", the opening track of their debut album Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, and four other songs.

"The View from the Afternoon" was expected to have been the band's third single, following UK Number Ones "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor" and "When the Sun Goes Down", but the band announced in March 2006 that its next record would be a 5-track EP, which thereby disqualified it from being listed in the UK singles and albums charts because it was too long to be a single and too cheap to be an album. With "The View from the Afternoon" as the A-side, the remainder of the EP was made up of new material, although "Cigarette Smoker Fiona" was a re-work of "Cigarette Smoke" – one of the band's earlier songs that formed part of the "Beneath the Boardwalk" collection of demo CDs.

"Despair in the Departure Lounge" was premiered at a gig in the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, although it was played by Alex Turner alone due to Andy Nicholson blowing his bass amp.

Although the contentious language content of the EP resulted in less radio airplay than the band's earlier releases, the nature of their rise to fame and their lack of reliance on radio meant that this was not a concern for the band.
