Arctic Monkeys - Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino (May 11, 2018) Album • Page 44

Last time I saw them (a couple days before this album came out) some dude kept shouting for them to play Brick By Brick after each song lmao

 

For me it's Love is a Laserquest. It just falls flat. If I listen through their entire catalog, this would probably be the only song I'd skip.

 

Oh damn I love that song. "Do you still feel younger than you thought you would by now?" is a great line.

 

Love that song. I covered it at the first show I ever played when I was 15

 

Damn, that's wild to me. I'd probably consider Laserquest a top twenty song from them.

 

laserquest is easily top 20, maybe top 10.

their worst track on an album is one for the road

 

that’s not even the worst song on AM
I Want it All is

 

eh, i kinda love i want it all personally, but I can see it

 

I Want It All is just a lesser Electricity

 

well, yeah, but that might be a top 5 song of theirs haha

 

spot on. never cared for the closer much at all either tho

 

The fact that The Bad Thing (and even Balaclava) made the album over Da Frame 2R, What If You Were Right, Plastic Tramp, The Bakery, etc is mind blowing.

I honestly think the worst song on any album is She Looks Like Fun for me. I hate the chorus and the bridge "waffling on to strangers about martial arts" is easily the clunkiest moment they have on their discography.

Their best closer is The Jeweler's Hands because it concludes their only perfect album. I do love ALL their closers though except I Wanna Be Yours, which I'm just okay about.

 

Those b-sides are insane. Plastic Tramp has been a favourite of mine for a long time together with Fright Lined Dining Room.

 

"Joining the Dots" is THE goddamn b-side

 

I remember hearing FLDR for the first time, even all these years later. I was so excited to hear Catapult because Josh Homme had said it was their best Humbug track or something. I listened and was like "Catapult rules!" and then Sketchhead and I was like "meh" and then FLDR... I think I played it 3x in a row just to make sure I was hearing it right.

So I'm back to sugar in the night
Rocketing shutter doors despite
The shop not opening for hours
You can itch, flap and whistle
And try to avoid the top
As I scribbled over dribble
You were snoring, showing off



It probably remains in the top 3 of their weirdest/heaviest/darkest vibe songs and among my very favourite in their catalog. I just love that Humbug era so much

 

I aprove this message! That part is one of their best moments

 

I must not forget about Nettles and Evil Twin

 

Still the best

 

it's true

 

We need to stop resurfacing this thread unless its new Monkeys. I get excited every time I see there's been a new post after a while :(

 

new Monkeys = new thread

 

The Bakery walked so Cornerstone could run

 

Lazy day off and I'm listening to a playlist I made of all my fav tracks from these guys

Every time I listen to them it gets harder to come up with reasons they're not my favourite band lol. Sooo, so good. Also I don't get why SIAS is often talked about as not being as great or w/e as the others. It's amazing

 

great band

 

"That's Where You're Wrong" genuinely might be their best song? it's perfect
