    INFO: Arctic Monkeys is a band that earned their fame before they even released their first album. They managed to experiment with heavy garage rock, pop-rock, punk and more while still keeping their sound congruent across their five albums. They’ve also stayed incredibly relevant in mainstream music despite of the fall in rock music’s popularity.

      I figured it was referring to the radio frequency band, especially given the image of waves on the cover. AM, FM, MW, etc... I was at school with Matt and Alex for 10 years too (High Green and Stocky), your last sentence in this video referring to them being at the peak of rock music for two decades made me feel very old :'(

      Well, also musicians literally practice in the toilets before going on stage when it's a festival and there are many bands and yours is not famous your band has not a private changing room in which you can practice. I heard Muse talking about it in interviews, remembering the old times. I think Matt Bellamy wrote a line about it in a song too and they do not take drugs you know (a part from mushrooms). Matt Bellamy shared an apartment with a drug dealer and he decided their band would have never taken drugs like cocaine since he saw the destructive effects it has, so the line could be literally about bands practicing in toilets.

    I feel like people are going to initially hate TBHC, for its experimental nuances. The new album not only grows on repeat listens, but it shows the range that AM have as well as yet another genre they entered. The Bowie/Doors/Shadow Puppets psychedelic trance rock is quite hypnotic and layered. And just like withthe last album, AM, Turner captures that chic detective 60s look. The new album is their, The Last Jedi.

    The inspiration behind the name "AM" does come from VU. However, it is good to note that while AM does stand for Arctic Monkeys, it stands for Amplitude Modulation, which is a technique used in transmitting sound waves, mainly using radios. The cover art of "AM" actually shows an Amplitude Modulation wave :)

    I heard their new album TBH&C several times by now and I don't know, "Star Treatment" is good, but then the first half of the album is like one long song until we arrive "Four out of Five" which is a great song, probably their first single, the rest of the album is okay, but the last song, oh man.
    The Ultracheese is one of those songs that instantly hit you deep and put you a very specific atmosphere, it's like you've known that song for a long time and listening to it makes you feel very nostalgic, at least in my case, I don't know, I fell in love with this song.

    Alex Turner, what a name. Funny enough I live in Sheffield and live just around the corner from where Alex Turner grew up, I have a best mate of mine who’s actually related to the drummer of AM, and also I have a couple of mates who’s parents taught Alex at stocksbridge secondary school. I always liked to ask them what was Alex like growing up and the only I answer I received was Quiet. Apparently he was a very polite young man and kept himself to himself. Id also like to add he famously walked into a pub known as The Anvil in stannington (Sheffield) one Wednesday afternoon and sat quietly in the corner waiting for a friend he grew up with to have a chat and pint. Overall it goes thru me about knowing Alex was just very similar to me and the rest of us and seeing where he’s come is frightening. I take my hats off to you, from Jonny - Sheffield

    Their best period was between humbug and suck it snd see. Fact.

The lyrics throughout suck it and see are consistently metaphorical and objective; Turner is a lyrical genius.

  • @Gorilla_Chaos

    Here’s a safe play to talk about TBHC, so I’m going to do it.
    There’s something special about it. It’s not so much Arctic Monkeys as it is Alex. And Alex exploring himself. It feels intimate, and like a diary of him and his struggles. I will admit he loses his transparency, but now he’s sending this message along the lines “Ive grown. And I hope you’ve grown too.” And really dives into his psyche. It’s a beautiful piece if you’re willing to sit and explore it, and understand what intimate parts of his life he’s sharing with us.
    It isn’t an album I’d play at a party, or even a get together. But it’s something I’d play when I’m bored and just wanna relax. I love it all, and every part of it is something special.
    I understand its lack of reception, and maybe even it lacking of praise. It’s something different. But not just what feels like a different type of rock, like how every album switch before hand. It’s something entirely new. And that’s fine. It’s actually great, and shows a new shift in Alex’s life, but at first, i didn’t dig it. Mainly because it was foreign. The monkey sound I loved has changed and it took time to adjust, and some people never gave it that adjustment time.
    I’d love to see what he has planned next though for AM.

    Humbug is their best album and Tranquillity Base Hotel and Casino is actually amazing, contrarily to what the majority claims.

      BHAC is different from the rock they did before. Too many people don't like changes or don't like many musical style I guess.
      But I love that album so much.

    One cool fact about AM is, even though it does stand for Arctic monkeys, it also stands for "Amplitude modulation" and the wave on the album cover is the graph you get when you plug in the equations for Amplitude modulation in physics. It is really cool to see when you know the actual meaning behind it and also the fact that it conveniently stands for Arctic monkeys as well.

      I try my best. I was almost making the decision to cut some of those things out because of the video length.
