Confirmed. Song has the word "ether" in the lyrics. The only "SciFi 101" term missing from entire album. Perfect.
Just bumping to say I absolutely adore this record. Listening on a rainy spring night like tonight is an instant trip to this time last year.
I'll have to give it another chance. I have had no desire to come back to this since the weekend after it dropped
While I enjoy some tracks - I still find this pretty underwhelming as the 5 year wait for a follow up to AM.
I think it’s my favorite of theirs too, at the very least it’s top 3. It’s hands down my most listened to Arctic Monkeys album over the past year.
Four Out of Five is still the goat but I fuck with Golden Trunks the most, it's like an evil Beach Boys song
seems like its one of those records that lacked general appeal but when hit home with the people that liked it. which kicks ass. I think I would probably rank it bottom of their discography for me personally, but I still think its a good record.
so is it gonna sound silly if I say that months on "Anyways" became like top 10 Monkeys for me how do they consistently have the best b-sides??
That's a hot take! I don't consider it even top 10 of this era, but that's what made this era pretty cool. I read a lot of people gush about Monster Truck and I would rank it as one of their worst songs ever put to LP. I think ranking the songs on Tranquility would produce insanely different lists for people. Humbug and Suck It and See eras had insane b-sides. Both in quality and quantity. I'm really excited to see where this band goes
That little “mmm!” that Alex does right before “just like Mother Nature used to bake” might be the funniest moment in their discography.
I just remembered Alex says "baby you go hard in the paint" in Anyways, so yes of course it's a top 10 song of all time obviously.
