''Favourite Worst Nightmare'' is the second studio album by the British Rock band Music/ArcticMonkeys. It was released in 2007 through Dominio Records.

!! Tracklist:
* "Brianstorm" (2:52)
* "Teddy Picker" (2:40)
* "D is for Dangerous" (2:14)
* "Balaclava" (2:47)
* "Fluorescent Adolescent" (2:53)
* "Only Ones Who Know" (3:01)
* "Do Me A Favour" (3:25)
* "This House Is a Circus" (3:09)
* "If You Were There, Beware" (4:34)
* "The Bad Thing" (2:23)
* "Old Yellow Bricks" (3:07)
* "505" (4:13)

!! Favourite Worst Tropes:
* ChickMagnet: Brian, the titular character from "Brianstorm", is described as a particularly successful ladies' man, although Alex compliments him as such in a rather sarcastic manner.
* LIsForDyslexia: Subverted by the song "Brianstorm". No, it's not meant to be spelled "Brainstorm". It helps to look at the lyrics, which apparently serve as an ode aimed at a particularly memorable fan named Brian.
* SurprisinglyGentleSong: "Only Ones Who Know" is notably more downbeat compared to the rest of the songs on this album.
* VaporTrail: Done in the MusicVideo for "Florescent Adolescent".
