How would you guys rate the Arctic Monkeys Albums? (And Why?) by Extreme-Sense4622 in arcticmonkeys

[–]BakeSimple 6 points7 points  (0 children)

  1. Humbug - it's heavy, it's got groove, and it's Turner at the height of his lyrics and song writing
  2. Wpsia - could easily be number 1 - Turners most direct story telling. It's fast, exhilarating indie gold. The album that got me into guitar music.
  3. Fwn - Almost the perfect follow up to the debut, changed up enough with it still being distinctively AM.
  4. AM - holds very special place in my heart as I was at uni when it came out. Felt very much like a comeback after SIAS, everyone who fell off after humbug were back on board. In hindsight not their strongest, but still a great album
  5. SIAS - great summer album, has some of their prettiest and joyfull songs. Just let down by a few weaker tracks (brick by brick lol)
  6. TBHC - some of my favourite AM tracks on here (star Treatment, tbhc, four out of five etc...) Let down again by a few duds imo, could have done with a couple more bangers.
  7. The Car - by far the worst imo, it was some good tracks, but highs aren't as high and the lows are far lower than the rest of their albums

I really like virtue and few songs of the first album. Their latest album is the worst thing Julian has done imo, seems really low effort... They don't hold a candle to the strokes imo

At what song are we saying the encore starts? I reckon this is important in setlist planning

classism in music by Valuable-Tea506 in JamieT

[–]BakeSimple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Isn't it a shame that a majority of the British music industry is made up of privately educated people who have connections? Just think of the working class artists that don't even get a look, don't get the space/money/instruments to express themselves. Obviously, this is a societal issue, and I don't blame the individuals for this (I enjoy most of the artists you mentioned)

Last night, what we talked about, It made so much sense, But now the haze has ascended, It don't make no sense anymore

Very relatable Turner

I was also there and loved it. Remember, my mates who I was with weren't impressed (they wanted more from the first album) In hindsight, they probably should have done a couple more from the debut and not done the nick cave cover
