Arctic Monkeys - AM

[Ashley]

Arabella is ace.

[Craig]

So much better than Suck it and See.

[Jiggers the Fox]

1 listen and already really liking this. Can only get better!

[lavrentis]

Its okay. Hmmmm

[blueblood88]

Great album, r u mine and arabella are the best tracks. Going to see them next month in birmingham, can't wait.

[The People's Hero]

Maybe I'm getting too old but I thought it was an absolute load of old bollocks.

That said I've been listening mainly to folk recently. Oh and 80s power ballads.

[Voll Blau]

Sixth album due next year. Loved AM but hoping for a more 'English' sounding album this time round. Heard they were recording at least some of it in Sheffield?

Brought AM this morning. Yeah, it's alright, I do like 'Fireside'. I wasn't a massive fan of 'Suck it and see' anyway so was always looking forward to today... As always though, I'll warm to it with the more I play it.

What happened here.... Suck It and See is now my favourite album of theirs.

 

Excited about Monkeys' new album. AM was very good but I've faith in them to do something as good/better, Turner is a good songwriter. Just hope they think of a better album name than, AM was pretty boring.

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

If it's half as good as SIAS and the recent Shadow Puppets effort it'll be a belter. Turner is still a genius despite prats moaning that he didn't just make the first two albums on a continuous loop forever.

[SemperEadem]

Rumour is the are to headline Tramlines festival in Sheffield which is looking like being the last one sadly.

It is meant to be moving to Hillsborough Park.

[Simi]

This new AM album could go two ways I feel. Turner seems to be in a head space where he could put out one of the most left field albums of all time. Could be colossal, could be completely mental.

 

I have loved everything they've done though and love how they keep reinventing themselves. TLSP record was outstanding. 

[Bellend Sebastian]

I'm confident I've been given this as a gift once but can I find it?  Can I f***.

 

It's probably in the same place as my War on Drugs album, which I definitely did have.  Or did I buy it for someone else?  This is what happens when you get old

[UPinCarolina]

Been a fan of each album on its own merit - there's been a definite progression in their work and AM was a solid record; made perfect sense as the follow up to Suck It and See, which itself was a logical next step from Humbug.

Suck It and See / Humbug have aged well, IMO. AM less so, but that's mostly because it's been an obvious influence on the work of many other artists since it was released.

Nervous, but hopeful that they can keep moving forward sonically.

New album is really interesting

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

This is fantastic, all the mardy bum bucket hat wankers will be ****ing fuming.

 

VERY TLSP and I love it. 

[Dr Marco]

Still thinks Alex Turner's best output was this:

Yeah there's no 'anthems' per say but as a body of work and concept it's quite superb

Yeah man 100%. Four Out of Five is sensational

[purpleronnie]

I didn't think this was out yet?  Got it on pre order.

[Voll Blau]

I think I could listen to the chord changes in the title track all day. As MTWG says, not one for the Strongbow Dark Fruits element of their fanbase - Jamie Cook is now a piano.

[RonnieTodger]

It really does sound like a new puppets album.

Granted, it's a solid hair of the dog beverage.

[purpleronnie]

I wasn't a big fan of the puppets, just sounded like they were trying to make a Scott walker album, and the new single hasn't impressed me and I've just read a truly scathing review of the album, so I'm not too optimistic.

[Ian W LCFC]

Had a listen through the whole thing earlier on, pretty underwhelming. They all sound so similar that I could hardly tell when it skipped to the next song.

 

I like Four out of five but nothing else really stands out. I'll give it another listen tomorrow.
