Arctic Monkeys - The Car (October 21,2022) Album • Page 5

Wow. Not what I expecting in the best way

 

i meant the verses yeah

 

This is beautiful

 

I can’t remember another band taking as much of a risk in changing their sound going from AM to Tranquility (and this new single) since Radiohead’s Kid A


Took me a while to actually “get it” with TBHC but I also enjoy music that clicks after multiple listens

 

yeaaaaaa if the rest of the LP is like this track it’s gonna be another good late night record and I’m a-ok with that

 

huge FJM vibes here. amazing.

 

It’s alright.

 

Yea I don’t like it at all haha

 

At least I’ll always have Whatever People Say I Am…

 

song rules obviously

 

This confirms this will be my AOTY

 

So, the Arctic Monkeys sound like a 1970's porno soundtrack now?

 

I don’t spend enough time with porno soundtracks to be able to confidently answer that. If that’s the case though, maybe I need to check out more of them.

 

What an awesome direction this band has been heading in. I didn’t even love their last one but respect and admire it so much if that makes sense.

 

For real. I’ll echo what others have said. The pivot after AM has been incredible to watch relative to what they were doing (not really a new sound in terms of the history of music ala 70’s rock), but damn. They followed up one of the biggest rock records of the 21st century with a lounge piano space crooner. And it seems as though they’re still on that track. Really cool. They could have done variations on AM for the next 2 decades, they didn’t. Respect.

 

Not bad but also not really my bag. Gets better as it goes

 

Damn. Fully planned on not listening to the single until the whole album dropped but I couldn't make it an hour.

Absolutely loved it. I'll admit the "70s porn" comment above through my completely off what to expect.

 

dreamy song. excited to hear how it sounds in context with the rest of the record

 

Alex is trying soooo hard to be Nick Cave. This new single is good but it’s nothing groundbreaking, Nick was doing this whole aesthetic in the 90s.

 

Yeah but 70s porn clearly did it first

 

humbug is their nick cave record lol this sounds nothing like him

they're deep in their scott walker bag

 

to the extent they released Red Right Hand as a b-side cover during those sessions lol

 

it’s grown on me since the first listen

 

I really like this but I also hope the whole album doesn't sound like it if that makes sense

Also is mirrorball British for disco ball?
