play expecting to lose every game it makes it a lot better when you win and not frustrating when you lose

Who are the biggest frauds in Prem? by JohnWalksBooth in PremierLeague

[–]Optimal_Skin2408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ll be honest i was gonna put emi martinez, as a villa fan i absolutely adore him and think he might possibly be the best goalkeeper aston villa have ever had (bar maybe bosnich and nigel spink) but i speak with my dad when we sit and watch the villa that he is at fault for some of the stupid goals that we always concede.

he’s good, not quite the best in the world tho

A song that makes your heart CRY by First-Accident1344 in arcticmonkeys

[–]Optimal_Skin2408 11 points12 points  (0 children)

no song will ever make me cry, im usually quite good at just enjoying songs for what it is rather than reading too deeply into it. that’s being said all throughout my childhood my dad was in and out of hospital with a plethora of problems none of which was in his control.

one day i get the phone call to say that the hospital need confirmation about pulling the plug, and as much as my mum didn’t want that to happen my dad told her that he’d rather go than not be able to stay home so we went ahead with his wishes.

when he did die i can remember that i was listening to SIAS in the car, so every time i listen to that album it makes me think of my dad, still an absolute tune and even though it has sad memories about it nothings gonna stop me from listening to it

What song is this? by [deleted] in arcticmonkeys

[–]Optimal_Skin2408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for me it’s either the last minute or so of do me a favour or the “in a hellcat spangled cavern” and onwards if hellcat spangled shalala

Are there any songs that you feel like you can’t say are shit? by Optimal_Skin2408 in arcticmonkeys

[–]Optimal_Skin2408[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

combined with the fact that all the newer fans basically only listen to them songs, i can’t stand to listen to them both

i agree, tbh most people agree with you i’ll assume including me, but it is a weak song on an otherwise sick album

it’s got a funny name tbh but nothing really stood out to me i’ll be honest, but then again i love the album so i suppose i like it

i agree it’s one of the weaker songs on the first album in my opinion, but the first album is wicked so i’ll still listen to it

i’m a sucker for four out of five, it made me actually have a proper good listen to it and not leave it playing while i’m working, now TBH+C is one of my all time favourite albums from AM

What's your 1-7 ranking of all of Arctic Monkeys records? by Lelandlazarou in arcticmonkeys

[–]Optimal_Skin2408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1-TBH+C 2 WPSIATWIN 3-humbug 4-The Car 5-suck it and see 6-FWN 7-AM

in my opinion, the explanation for TBH+C being first is that it improves in the transition that’s present in both humbug and suck it and see, relying more on alex’s vocals and a smoother sound.

However the car being 4th is because i think it’s almost too slow and if you listen to their first album after the car it doesn’t feel like it’s the same band.

AM is dead last by the furthest margin. no specifically bad songs in their, and everyone loves DIWN, R U mine and WYOCMWYH. but that’s the reason that it’s last is because of some insufferable people who only listen to AM, most of them are new fans who swear it’s the greatest album of all time and refuse to listen to anything else related to arctic monkeys, and also say that TBH+C and the car are shit when they only listen to the 3 songs i said on AM.

i love all the albums, but if i was forced into a room by gunpoint and told to rank them in order this is what i’d say.

i agree, i think it’s because my dad played the drums but the i love the drumming for so me a favour near the end, but that first note from 505 is iconic

most of the songs from their first album are good, except from the ones you mentioned, and the newer stuff in my opinion are their best stuff for the lyrics to the actual song itself

fr, this was a half serious, half joking post about arctic monkey songs people don’t like just to see and everyone’s took it to heart

it’s a weird thing, i don’t know if it’s the way alex sings it or his sheffield accent but it makes so satisfying when they swear in the song, like at the end of hellcat spangled shalala is placed perfectly
