Arctic Monkeys - The Car (October 21,2022) Album • Page 22

AM is still a staggering stone-cold stunner to this day and sounds just as vital now as it did in 2013. Unfortunately, it seems like Alex Turner couldn't shake the feeling of that unbearable weight and decided to merge Last Shadow Puppets and Arctic Monkeys on those last two records, which just feel...sleepy. Seemingly unthinkable after AM and the power of those earlier records. But I really dig this new song, the riff has been bouncing around my head all morning.

 

AM is easily my least favorite record he's ever put out

 

I think AM is a pretty bad album

 

I love all their albums tbh, one of my favorite bands and Alex is one of my favorite writers

 

AM is great and it is wrong to suggest otherwise

 

i don't love AM but agree fully otherwise. he's one of the best writers going. i just don't love the weird (they admitted this in interviews) drake-influenced flow he has to his delivery only on that album. and the black sabbath ripoff track is stinky.

 

They definitely need to reissue the first two albums with all the B-sides from the respective eras.

 

AM is my least favourite but there's still a couple songs on there. only time I ever felt they were retreading ground, it's just a less good Humbug

 

AM is watered-down Humbug but R U Mine?, ...High, Snap Out of It and I Wanna Be Yours are among their best stuff, and Do I Wanna Know? really is undeniable.

Their least good album but everyone's got one.

 

AM is a seminal “I’m in my twenties and horny” album and we’re all just too old for it now.

 

I was never horny so that probably explains it. always thought Knee Socks was the easy best off it though

 

AM and horny?? Would never connect those, more like "falling asleep by yourself, bored"

 

idk how one can not hear horny in "arabella"

 

I have nothing to add to being horny but Crying Lightning is a good song eh?

 

It came out when I was 16 and it felt like a very horny album. Or maybe I just was

 

*War Pigs

 

seminal and horny in one post. nice.
