i actually don't know that album. i did buy it but resold it before i even opened it, now i can listen on Spotify.
i love AM and think it's the best thing this band has done. songs like "Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?," "One For the Road," "Arabella," "Fireside," the wonderful "Knee Socks" and of course "Do I Wanna Know?" might be my most played album in 2013.

I did try AM at one point, but was put off because I thought the first couple of songs sounded identical.
― The Anti-Climax Blues Band (Turrican), Tuesday, 18 July 2017 01:02 (six years ago) link
There are a couple where I never quite registered one song had ended and a different one had started.
'One for the road'/'Arabella'

there's a much longer thread about AM somewhere i think?
they peaked at Suck It And See IMO, the Glastonbury show in between Suck It.. and AM was extraordinary.

Hmm. I should listen to Suck It and See today - it seems to be the album of theirs that nobody talks about.
Humbug is getting stronger with each spin. I still hate that first LP, though.

About time they did a new one.

Ah, nobody used to mind when the Stones did that..

Sounds like they've made their Hot Space. I'm here for it!
Anyway some bright spark has made a Spotify playlist of the tunes Alex Turner said he'd been listening to of late(in a MOJO feature) and it's amazing

Hot Space is a terrible record, so if that's what the Arctic Monkeys have made then that really doesn't sound promising.

(Although Hot Space does have 'Under Pressure' and 'Back Chat' on it, which are about the only two songs I'd keep from it)

Really good with a few weird play-them-once-skip-them-forever-after tracks. Also an 8.1 on Pitchfork, 0.1 better than the best review they'd had on the site previously (for AM).

Liked the rolling stone article. Got the record but haven’t played it beyond track 1. Haven’t heard any other records by these guys tbh

Took me a second to realize these were not all the same person:

my fav monkeys song remains "Leave Before The Lights Come On," a non-album single which apparently has a video starring Paddy Considine?

Classic and dud at the same time, great highs, abysmal lows... they obviously have good taste but perhaps they’re too self-conscious.

Humbug is one of their best albums, IMO.
