Arctic Monkeys Band

this band is fucking awesome. been listening to them a ton this past week. AM and Humbug are my two favorites but all their records are fucking great. love them a lot, talk about them here

 

Lol how are there no posts here

 

Lol yeah I guess they must not be that popular on here, but I definitely wasn't expecting their thread to be this dead. Their debut will probably always be their best in my eyes, but they've had a pretty solid discography thus far.

 

Humbug or the debut is my favorite

 

Mine goes like this. Not to say any of them are even close to bad.

Suck It And See
Humbug
AM
Favourite Worst Nightmare
Whatever People Say I Am

 

I've come around on the debut. It isn't my least favorite anymore. Probably around the middle of their discography for me. What a great band though.

1. Suck it and See
2. Humbug
3. Whatever People Say I Am
4. Favourite Worst Nightmare
5. AM

Really cooled off on AM

 

Same for me. Some songs are really great, and I fuck with the "War Pigs" homage in "Arabella" hard. Overall I feel like it's not incredibly dynamic

 

I'm a big fan of Whatever People Say and AM. I haven't gone back to their other releases in years, but I should probably do that soon.

 

Did you hear guys that Alex Turner confirmed to BBC Sheffield the end of the band's hiatus and work on a new album!!!

 

hell yeah, perfect timing

 

I am excited for a new album from these guys, been listening to a hell of a lot of FWN recently. Do Me A Favour is such a fucking great song

 

Whatever People Say I Am is still such a monster of an album.

 

Today 10 years ago was released second studio album "Favourite Worst Nightmare".

 

Been listening to this band a ton lately. For some reason I wasn't that into Suck it and See at first but now I think it's their best album. Has a couple bad tracks (I despise "Brick by Brick") but man the second half of that album is insane.

"Love is a Laserquest" is one of the best written songs I've heard in a while. "Do you look into the mirror to remind yourself you're there, or has somebody's good night kisses got that covered?" I really underrated Alex Turner as a songwriter but he can be brilliant at times.

 

Suck it and See was the soundtrack to a very important year in my life and it gets me in my feelings when I listen to it

Also he's always brilliant

 

Alex Turner is a phenomenal lyricist

 

The back half of Suck It and See is so great. That's Where You're Wrong is one of their absolute best.

 

It's definitely my favorite record by them

 

Haha yeah "brilliant at times" wasn't the right way to word it -- he's a fantastic songwriter overall. Just meant that there are songs like Love is a Laserquest where I'm truly blown away by the songwriting. Like that "look into the mirror" line manages to say so much with so little.

Also his solo songs on the Submarine soundtrack are brilliant, only recently discovered those.

 

That Submarine EP is excellent, I love "Stuck on the Puzzle".

 

Any news form these guys in regards to new stuff?

AM is my soundtrack for work today.

 

Someone ran into Matt Helders at a gig last week, he said new music "hopefully by the end of the year". Honestly, 2017 has been so loaded, I'd be more than happy to wait until 2018 to hear from these guys again haha.

 

That's awesome. Id be cool with waiting too. It's been awhile since AM came out. JW what a timeline would be.

Hopefully I get to see them live soon. On my bucket list.

 

I'd imagine Q1/2 2018 for a new album from them

 

Humbug turns eight today!
