this album is so addicting. i always look at my new stuff and think what should i play today. this seems to win on most occasions.

i somehow haven't posted on this thread yet, but this is obviously fantastic. "four stars out of five" is the obvious standout, but i'm really digging the final two tracks right now. "batphone" has my favorite piano part on the record and i love the slinky guitar and the chintzy synth. and "the ultracheese" is a beautiful country torch song, reminds me a bit of conway twitty and a bit of "on top of old smoky"

I think a lot of fans of the album might appreciate this from The Last Shadow Puppets, Alex Turner wrote this one on his own and it features no Miles Kane vocal either so it's essentially a solo song

This album is still sounding great to me - the only track that I'm not keen on is 'Batphone', which doesn't seem to have grown on me all that much. Still, the rest of the album is fantastic.
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Wednesday, 25 July 2018 17:39 (five years ago) link
album reminds me of pulp this is hardcore a lot
i love this record but sometimes the vocals get in the way for me, after a whole record it is a little wearying..first half is absolutely solid tho and stellar closer
― sleepy sweet (Ross), Thursday, 2 August 2018 17:24 (five years ago) link
It doesn't remind me of This is Hardcore at all!

thought it was amazing and their best and haven't been unconvinced of that yet.
― Simon H., Tuesday, 9 April 2019 23:56 (five years ago) link
still think AM is their best but this album is also really good. there was a point where i couldn't stop listening to it and not a lot of albums do that to me anymore. this concert was also really, really good. it will be interesting what they do next.
― Bee OK, Wednesday, 10 April 2019 00:00 (five years ago) link
I think the first half is really strong, it peaks with 'Four Out of Five', and then the second half isn't as good as the first but has a couple of highlights ('She Looks Like Fun' and 'The Ultracheese') - The part where 'One Point Perspective' segues into 'American Sports' is still my favourite part of the album, and I have no time at all for 'Batphone'. I played the shit out of the album when it was first released, and while I still love the fact that it rubs fans of their earlier work up the wrong way, I think AM and Humbug are better albums.

Still love the best tracks, and the BBC live show thing from last year is up in full now on YouTube, featuring many older tunes 'done' in a Tranquility Base style

agreed with those who say this is their best album, disagree with those who have no time for batphone

"Batphone" rules!
― Simon H., Wednesday, 10 April 2019 14:05 (five years ago) link
if anything I hope their next one pushes the sparseness even further just to annoy ppl
'Batphone' is one of the dullest things this band have ever done. An absolute waste of time.
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Wednesday, 10 April 2019 14:15 (five years ago) link
sorry, we're talking about the song "batphone" by the arctic monkeys, not "bananaphone" by raffi
