nine months pass...

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.
