Arctic Monkeys - AM

What's the general Sup Forums consensus on this album/band?

They're liked by way too many tumblr/redditfags so Sup Forums automatically writes them off as shit.

First two albums are great. Turned shit after that. AM sucked

Girlfriend sent me a video of her blowing some guy while "Arabella" played in the background. So I have a tough time trying to suspend bias toward it.

I like the idea of it, but there's too much good dadrock already--no room for something less than incredible.

Holy shit--you got to hear the Arctic Monkeys cucking Black Sabbath's riff (War Pigs' verse) at the same time you were cucked

Pic related isn't their most polished albums but definitely their best.

AM is just shitty pop music for "I'm different" girls.

I doubt they'll make good music again, they were only good when they were young tbẖ

this. AM isn't bad and has some good tracks on it. Arabella, kneesocks, call me when you're high, no 1 party anthem, R U mine, snap out of it
basically all of them are good tracks. Maybe fireside and I want it all are less standout

Suck it and see is pretty good too.

WatchMojo: The Album

Most of these are boring, mundane poppy songs. Also, suck it and see was the beginning of their downfall.

I actually find Humbug to be a little more entertaining even with that laid back approach. Sure it lacks a bit in energy, but the atmosphere it creates and the mixing/production (thanks to Homme) is God tier.

it's pretty fucking catchy, i've listened to it way too many times and it still doesn't get old

still not as good as humbug though

The first and four last songs on Suck it and See are fucking great

Pic related is their best album.

I'm in the minority thinking that Humbug omwards were an improvement from the first two albums. Don't get me wrong, the debut album is a classic, and FWN is stellar. I just find more enjoyment in the latter albums

Humbug is objectively their best album, 9.5/10 (the chorus of Dangerous Animals is cringeworthy). SIAS might be equal to Humbug depending on the mood. It's the best summer album, that's for sure. 9/10

AM is also great, but only when given the context of a night out. Call it tumblr-core or whatever, but its a superb album, and I still haven't found an album that perfectly captures the essence of friends going out for a night of fun.

Objectively, however, AM's tracklisting is off. I Want It All to No. 1 Party anthem is a fucking terrible transition. That's why I listen to AM with my own tracklist

I personally really like this album.

It's a great pop album

ITT: People I don't like like it so I don't like it
My god you guys are fags sometimes. This album was alright.

I have friends who basically hold this opinion. It's even more cringe worthy in person.

I liked Knee Socks.

do i wanna know is pretty cool. the animation video was tits.

also the one with the mechanical mule.

it's because they are genuinely awful

It's incredibly sub-par

Probably one of the worst albums I've ever heard.

I've only heard that and their debut which wasn't that bad.

It's. BORING.

First tracks are kinda fine, but then it just becomes all a slog and all the tracks start to sound the same

I have to agree, Josh Homme did a good job working with these guys. You can tell he had a touch in songs like "Potion Approaching", that mid-section is fantastic.

Humbug>WPSIaTWIN>Favorite Worst Nightmare>AM>Suck it and See

Generally I agree that when Sup Forums hates something it's based way too much off the fanbase (see: Death Grips) but AM are hot trash. Adam Sandler album was ok at first but I ended up disliking it after time. Then along came Do I Wanna Know and I realized they are shit and going down a very generic and boring path.

My girlfriend when I was in high school liked that band and I thought it sounded fucking terrible, if I listened to it today maybe not so much but I'm not super interested.

exactly

Most of the best songs on this album (R U mine?, DIWK?, the drugs one, Knee socks) would be decent songs on their own, the problem is they all sound the same so theirs no point to them. Definitely breaks down after the first few like said.

Not really a bit fan of the last 2 albums but their first 3 were great.

Also R U mine is really good, sounds a lot like some of the stuff from LP2.

>Arctic Monkeys is hot trash

Damn you've got some pretty shit opinions sensei, maybe one day I can reach your level of fagdom if I really practiced

Personally I'd swap WPSIA and Humbug

Sup Forums hates AM cuz they hate "tumblr girls" which is ok for me, I mean, I don't listen some albums sometimes because remains me of some people.
I like them, Adam Sandler, FWN and Humbug are really great albums. AM is ok also. I think alex is a good songwriter with interesting hooks.

It's grown on me since I first heard it. Definitely not as bad as some people on Sup Forums make out.

Will they ever make another song as good as 'A Certain Romance'?

>uses meme as an adjective
>implies generic alternative radio band #56732568 are good
You have far surpassed my level of fagdom and you keep pushing new boundaries every time you listen to r u mine
