  Is Arctic Monkey's Whatever People Say I Am That's What I'm Not The Best Debut Album By A British Rock Band Of All Time?! The Full Circle Album Review 03.08.2026 11min

  When Arctic Monkeys were first on the scene, everyone knew they were something special. Their first album, Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, is an incredible album, and I can't believe it's 20 years old now! So enjoyable to hear it back again and bring back so many memories. Even though there's one or two songs on there that I'm not fussed about, I explain why it ranks so highly for me, giving a general overview and then going track by track, at the end creating my Whatever Peopl...

I give a summary of the album along with a track-by-track. I also share my controversial early opinion of them as well as sharing which track was the catalyst for them...

  One year ago, I had Frank Turner on The Full Circle.

  Captain Davidoff AKA David Desai is the very special guest on The Full Circle, making his podcast debut on the show! He is a top guy and it's probably one of the funniest episodes since the show has returned as a podcast, very similar to the radio show days! Captain's cat's cameo was a big highlight, but without doubt, the biggest highlight is our stupidity to do the bird's-eye chili challenge again!
