Details from Arctic Monkeys' forthcoming album have emerged, including six track titles, and descriptions of songs.

The album, set to be released in the first quarter of 2007, will be the second album from Arctic Monkeys and tracks include 'D Is For Danger', 'This House Is A Circus', 'The Bakery Song', 'Plastic Tramp', 'Balaclava' and a track which is so far untitled and is not likely to make the final LP but may appear as a b-side.

Bassist Nick O'Malley described the track 'This House Is A Circus' as a "banger", while frontman and singer Alex Turner said:

"There's something about it. Maybe it's just new, but it's just exciting. It's got some good rhymes in. "This house is a circus... berserk as fuck." I suppose it's a place you keep going back to - it could be an actual physical building, I suppose, or a headspace you go into."

Also speaking about other tracks, Turner described 'D Is For Danger' as a "short and groovy number" and 'Balaclava' as a depiction of a "radical boy-girl scenario".

On the so far unnamed track which is likely to be a b-side, Turner described the lyrics of a verse he is considering:

"She was marrying a matador/And he was with a weather girl/A very clever girl who stood amongst several once/ A terrible dilemma and forever he'll regret the day/He didn't make the rescue from the bullring."

Arctic Monkeys Top NME Album of The Year List

The record-breaking fastest-selling debut Arctic Monkeys album 'Whatever Poeple Say I Am, That's What I'm Not' may have been slightly overlooked by much of the music press in the later stages of the year, especially when "Top Albums Of The Year' lists start appearing, but the one magazine you probably expect it from, do the unexpected...

NME named the WPSIATWIN the number 1 album of the year. Of course, everybody was expecting NME to go the full circle andtry to turn the nation against the Arctic Monkeys (which they will never succeed to do should they every try anyway) but they stayed loyal to the band and the album, which earlier in the year was given 5th 'Best Debut Album Ever' so the NME couldn't really NOT put them there, could they?

Don't worry though, come early next year the worst review ever will be waiting to be published when the second album is released.

Alex Reveals Favourite Arctic Monkeys Track

Alex Turner had revealed his favourite track on the Arctic Monkeys debut album 'Whatever people Say I Am, That's What I'm Not'.

Speaking to NME for this week's Top 50 albums and tracks issue, Turner told of his favourite tracks. He said:

"I think 'The View From The Afternoon''s probably my favourite. That was one of the last ones we wrote as well; that one just because it's interesting and groovy and that. And probably 'A Certain Romance'."

Also talking through the making of the album, Alex again revealed how the title of the album came about:

"We didn't want to call it 'Arctic Monkeys' because we thought it was a bit of a cop out. Then I saw that 'Saturday Night And Sunday Morning' film. There's a bit where he says that line and the conviction with which he said it, it just rang a bell."
