    New arctic monkeys is super interesting artistically if you haven’t given it a chance.

      Strongly disagree. They’re The Strokes 2.0 without any teeth and an even worse habit or making shitty radio rock singles

        Have you listened to Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino front to back? It’s a great story to listen to that flows super well with a ton of underlying tones.

          Tranquility Base… & The Car are best listened to all the way through. The songs are good, but somehow better with the whole album around them.

            Yeah it’s a full experience, and that’s how it was meant to be listened to. At least someone gets it.

          You mean the album where three creatively bankrupt artists try to do David Bowie with a bargain bin Portishead knock off in the middle?
