Nope! well sortof, Matt did not record drums on more than half of the songs of TBHC were recorded by Loren Humphrey who actively wrote drum parts, while Matt did synths.
Fun fact: this record was produced by Josh Homme, Queens of the Stone Age's frontman. I AM HOPING FOR YOU TWO TO REACT TO SONGS FOR THE DEAF AND LIKE CLOCKWORK. Great video!!!
When they were touring this album, they would finish the encore on Secret Door and play it out for ages, with a big confetti drop in sync with the drums coming back in at the end, it was magical!
Such a fantastic album. Love that story Alex told of him waking up in the middle of the night to play the crying lighting lick. Feels like a nightmare riff in the best way. Love that about it!
Nicholson stated recently in an interview he holds no ill will towards the band. But he was kicked off after a two week break while with family. He also was in the process of recording Favourite Worst Nightmare so a majority of that albums bass parts were written by him.
@hotstankygarbage788 Andy didn't write the majority of the first album bass lines in that same podcast he said that Alex came to rehearsal with the parts written which explains why TBHC bass lines are so potent. Andy didn't write Favourite worst nightmares bass lines he was already gone when they continued the North America tour they started recording the second album after the tour the last bass lines he played are despair in the departure lounge
@jojoproductions2610 He said he recorded Flourescent, Brianstorm, Do Me A Favour and This House Is A Circus, Balaclava too if I'm not mistaken. Feel bad fo him the way they kicked him out. Glad he's found peace
Came to comment this! Both of them rocking it out chatting about Greggs 😂 Can’t wait for Connor describing a sausage & bean melt on the Suck It And See listen
Once you guys also listen to SIAS, you should really check out Alex's supergroup with Miles Kane. They have amazing songs on their two albums, The Age of the Understatement and Everything You've Come to Expect.
If that was a euphemism, then I wouldn’t be saying that my propeller wouldn’t spin- ‘cos you wouldn’t wanna go shouting that out, would you? -Alex Turner
They play it live most times. At Glasto 2013 (their peak imo) he finishes it then quips verbatim; for all the fellas who were too cool to raise your hands for the Pretty Visitors chorus, this one's for your girlfriends!", then they launch into I bet you look good...
Red Rocks 2023 played Crying Lightning and Pretty Visitors and if you check out the video, the transition from Knee Socks into PV was epic. They played songs from every album. It was an incredible concert.
I was front row when the Monkeys came here for the Humbug tour. My sister and I had motions to many of the songs, and Alex laughed at us for most of the show. It was kinda magical. Def one of my favorite concert experiences. Hahaha
do you know any albums like it? ive been listening to it for the last few weeks and have been looking for similar albums so it would be great if you knew any :)
If you haven't already, listen to their two preceding albums. I was obsessed with this band for years and haven't found another band that quite scratches the same itch as early Arctic Monkeys did for me. However, there have been some that have gotten close. Namely Cage the Elephant and the Strokes. Like others have mentioned, Queens of the Stone Age albums Like Clockwork and Songs for the Deaf are probably the most similar to this particular album. The frontman for that band produced this very album and they are great. Just saw them Live a couple months back actually which was epic. Hope that helps!
oh my god so real. i was obsessed w crying lightning for ages and now i'm seriously obsessed w pretty visitors 😭 and then every other song is insane too i love arctic monkeyssss
Yes! My favorite Arctic Monkeys album! It's super underrated IMO Also, I usually listen to music when I'm playing with my dog, and I was listening to Humbug earlier when I was playing with her. I love the drumming on this album so much! Matt went so hard on this album! The 1-2-3-2-1snare on Crying Lightning was genius. Also, the closing drum fills on Jewellers Hands is epic.
They did play quite a few from this record on the recent tour. “Potion approaching” was played a lot! Also, crying lightning and “pretty visitors” were most definitely played at your show! Thanks guys, Been waiting for this one!!! Bravo
Humbug is ELITE! I remember I took the day off school back in 2009 to listen when it was released. Potion approaching & dance little liar hit my entire body every time!
It's fascinating how Dangerous Animals sounds exactly like something off Villains by Queens which didn't come out for like another 10 years. Homme's fingerprints are all over this album in the best way.
Dingle me up lolol Edit: PLEASE do The Last Shadow Puppets, both of their albums are flawless imo - it’s his supergroup with miles Kane, and to me it’s music that Alex and Miles just want to make for fun as a passion project. So much personality in every track, and so much interesting musicality. I think you’d both enjoy a lot :) Edit 2: I got crying lightning, cornerstone and pretty visitors at the gig I went to last year, unbelievable at the front of the pit
They never switched drummers, you guys are talking about the bass player. Their 1st bass player left after the 1st album and then nick o malley came in during favorite worst nightmare until now
I went through a elitist prog rock phase after my Arctic Monkeys phase, so I stopped giving Nick and the rest of their band their flowers. I few years ago I got out of that mindset and decided to revisit Arctic Monkeys. Goddamn, they're good.
Crying lightning is absolutely one of my faves too! It’s hard to overemphasise how massive arctic monkeys were in the UK in the large 00s/early 10s, they were basically the soundtrack to my teenage years! Every person you saw play at pub band nights in the UK at that time was trying so hard to be Alex Turner, he was the absolute pinnacle of cool 😂 Vividly remember singing along to them with my dad when he would drive me to house parties as a teen so it’s fun to see you two listening together now!
Yess, this is my favorite album!! I saw them back in 2022 and they played crying lightning, cornerstone, potion approaching and pretty visitors Needless to say I was losing my mind
Fun fact: Before the album announcement, they've been playing Do Me a Favour and Potion Approaching on tour just cause they said "the car" in the lyrics. I had the chance to enjoy Potion Approaching live in Argentina some months later under a huge thunderstorm.
I just discovered this channel (and you two) and I really love what you guys are all about. The fact that you two do this together and genuinely enjoy it awesome. I am a father of two, my son is 13 and daughter 12, and I appreciate your relationship as much as I do your love of music. I'm a big Arctic Monkeys fan and that's what brought me here initially. I actually wore an Arctic Monkeys shirt under my button-down today at school (with it un-buttoned, students could partially see it and I had conversations about the band, which so many students had never heard of before). I'll check out your other videos as well. Cheers.
You're spot on about the chemistry and Turner being different compared to his stage persona. According to most stories about people meeting him or judging from interviews (except maybe the AM era lol) he's a thoughtful reserved guy. He also always give the others their credit, even though he's the obvious star of the band from the outside.
Actually they did clarify in one of the interviews that my propeller is not about what you and everyone think it's about. "Propeller" refers to the mood rather than an organ. And he wants something or someone to come and take him out of his depression or creative block. Alex said that if it was really about THAT, he won't be singing "my propeller won't swing and I can't get it started on my own". Also, please check out Live by Louis Tomlinson 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you guys for covering this one 🤘❤️ been my favorite Arctic Monkeys album since it dropped. This was the first tour i got to see them live on 🌊❤️ Humbug forever!!!
Need to check Last Shadow Puppets albums (other band from Alex Turner - 1st album is from Favourite Worst Nightmare period and he is exploring new horizon that influences for sure the Arctic albums also)
They did Pretty Visitors, Cornerstone, and Secret Door when I saw them for the first time in 2018 and it was soooooo amazing. They did a lot of Humbug songs when I saw them in September 23’ for their The Car tour. They’re amazing performers!! I’m so glad you guys finally covered this one, it’s definitely my favorite album from them. I never skip any of the songs on this one
I dont know how i missed this notification but so glad you did this album. Its the album that got me into the band so it has a special place in my heat
I really think that this album and TBH+C are my favorites. Yes FWN, WPSIATWIN, AM are good, but those other two show such a dynamic musicianship that this band can rise to. Thanks for reacting to it!
At the last Monkeys concert I attended in the summer of 2022 they played Pretty Visitors, Potion Approaching, and Crying Lightning. Man, the performance was fire, I am sorry to hear that you didn't catch these songs live, next-level experience
i went to see them in 2022 and i got the nice treat of 4 humbug songs (crying lightning, potion approaching, cornerstone and pretty visitors)… safe to say it was one of the best live shows of my life great video like always!
I would really apreciate if you guys made a reaction of The Last Shadow Puppets next, it gives a lot of contex to what they did after, and Alex said he was never realy singing before it
Rest in Peace to your father and grandfather ❤️❤️ Humbug and AM are my favorite Arctic Monkeys album, I think Humbug is so underrated. This is one of the only albums that I love the whole way through. I love the heavy desert rock feel. I was so happy that they played some of these songs at the concert I went to in September. I SCREAMED when they played Pretty Visitors, I was hoping they would and my dreams came true! They played a decent amount of Humbug at their Boston show, it was literally the most magical night of my life. I left feeling the most euphoric I’ve ever felt in my life. Their set was absolutely orgasmic, it melted my brain. My favorite Arctic Monkeys song of all time is The Jeweller’s Hands, with R U Mine, Do I Wanna Know, and Secret Door very close behind them. This album is my favorite to play on guitar. I will always remember the feeling of hearing them live and how incredible it was. Love this channel, thanks for this guys! I’m so glad you both love this one 🥰
YAAAAAYYYYY more arctic monkeys!! great reaction as always guys :) when yall are done with all of the monkeys albums, maybe check out TLSP? everything you've come to expect is my fav album ever!!
When I got to see them live last year in México they played Crying Lightning and Pretty Visitors, and I have to tell you those two are amazing to hear live, but this being my favorite Monkeys album left me wanting for more too
Brilliant album. I've been waiting for you to do a video on this one. It's great seeing other people's reactions to an album I rate so highly myself. Looks like you both enjoyed this one.
i was hoping for SO long that youd finally get your dad to react to this one!! It took me a long time ti finally explore beyond fyn and wpsiatwin but this is my favourite in the rock genre alongside the former now
Kevin calling “Fire and the thud” hot and steamy with his Las Vegas prostitute analogy was awesome. Little did he know this album was recorded in the desert in the US and is considered “Stoner Rock” because of the Josh Homme contributions
@@therealninjastar all of their albums are amazing, however if i were to recommend an album to someone, id give them either of those two. wpsiatwin is an amazing album as well, however i find some songs just not sticking with me as much as others
Hell yea!!! I always asked for this one!!! Could you guys do the 2 albums of the last shadow puppets?! Please?!!! And thank you so much for this one!!!!
I have been waiting for this video ever since I saw your first videos on am. One of my favorite records of all time, I love the Queens of the Stone Age influence. It was really fun to see you react to it!
If your dad thinks that this one's (positively) heavy, then you just _gotta_ finish it up with _Suck It and See_ soon. That's the heaviest they've ever been. Hard fucking rock. And then the other half is just some of the loveliest, sweetest, saddest and most heart-wrenchingly romantic stuff you've ever heard. Shoegaze-y. Borderline dream pop. Such a great mosaic of an album. The distilled essence of Arctic Monkeys, in a way. Like, if you mashed all of their albums together, _Suck it and See_ is probably what would come out.
Saw them in 2022 and they did crying lightning, potion approaching, cornerstone and pretty visitors. That dropped to only crying lightning and pretty visitors when I saw them again next year sadly.
I always go back to this album. Bangs from start to finish and I always forget about one or two of the songs and end up falling in love with them again
Yess so glad you guys finally covered this one! I got to see them for the first time last September and I definitely wish they had played more songs from this album. It was still amazing though! 😩
So to clarify what My Propellers about, Alex said in an interview that’s it’s about a descent. It has nothing to do with any organs 😂. Essentially, it’s about getting back on track after being in a deep depression by the help of someone else or drugs. Hope this helps!
Matt Helders is the drummer on all Monkey albums. Their Bass player changer after the first record.
Aaah thanks! I knew someone changed ~ Kevin
Nope! well sortof, Matt did not record drums on more than half of the songs of TBHC were recorded by Loren Humphrey who actively wrote drum parts, while Matt did synths.
@@notthisbutthat oh wow, didn’t now that thanks, that’s my favorite Monkey album
@@Xaviertimme4569 Humprhey was the drummer on the second last shadow puppets album.
Came here to write this exact comment.
BRO HUMBUG OUT OF NOWHERE WHAT??? THERE'S STILL HOPE FOR SIAS BOYS LETS GOOO
YESSSS
Need a Submarine soundtrack reaction first.
ALL MY OWN STUNTS
Yesss
worst am album
Fun fact: this record was produced by Josh Homme, Queens of the Stone Age's frontman. I AM HOPING FOR YOU TWO TO REACT TO SONGS FOR THE DEAF AND LIKE CLOCKWORK. Great video!!!
His dad would love the drums on both of those records
yes both of those 2 would be so good
Yeah and you can hear Josh voice on several songs on this album
Awesome recommendation! Song of the deaf and lime clockwork are so special
Been hoping they'd do QOTSA for ages
“I was a little bit sticky”
“And oil up those sticky keys”
hahahaha i noticed it too!! and the way he grins to himself afterwards hahah
Think he's possibly saw that lyric coming up
The timing is *chef’s kiss*
absolute cinema
Who was he talking about 😭
One year in the desert with Josh Homme and The Arctic Monkeys came out, changed people.
Peyote and cocaine will do that to you
When they were touring this album, they would finish the encore on Secret Door and play it out for ages, with a big confetti drop in sync with the drums coming back in at the end, it was magical!
I’ll never see that live and now I’m depressed
That was brilliant alright - it was an amazing moment when the confetti dropped
This makes me emotional
Bro you've made me so envious
really? They played it in Reading 2009. Think I was basically the only one that knew the song!
we need the last shadow puppets reaction now
YESSS this! Please!
YASSSSSSS!!!!!
Second this comment everything youve come to expect pls !
YESSS
pleaseee 🫶🏻
oh to listen to Humbug for the first time again, it's such an incredible project
Such a fantastic album. Love that story Alex told of him waking up in the middle of the night to play the crying lighting lick. Feels like a nightmare riff in the best way. Love that about it!
And the one of Jamies trip when he figured out the solo
matt helders has been the drummer the whole way through, andy nicholson was replaced on bass after the first year of touring
matt doesnt play drums on most songs in the last two albums
Nicholson wrote some absolutely killer bass lines
Nicholson stated recently in an interview he holds no ill will towards the band. But he was kicked off after a two week break while with family. He also was in the process of recording Favourite Worst Nightmare so a majority of that albums bass parts were written by him.
@hotstankygarbage788 Andy didn't write the majority of the first album bass lines in that same podcast he said that Alex came to rehearsal with the parts written which explains why TBHC bass lines are so potent.

Secret Door is just otherworldly. That outro is just ✈️ It’s their best song imo.
Best lyrics in their career for sure. The live version in Valencia is really beautiful
Second best imo. A Certain Romance is number one and then Secret Door
@@fedebottalo3673 mtv worldstage! with the confetti at the end, I cry every time.
I LOVE SECRET DOOR SM
Agreed. my favorite song of theirs
this is lowkey my fav arctic monkeys album musically because there’s zero grandeur or ego it’s music for musics sake
As someone from the UK, watching Connor try and explain what Greggs is while pretty visitors was blaring in the background was iconic
Came to comment this! Both of them rocking it out chatting about Greggs 😂 Can’t wait for Connor describing a sausage & bean melt on the Suck It And See listen
Mate I was grinning to fuck hearing that during that moment 😂😂
Once you guys also listen to SIAS, you should really check out Alex's supergroup with Miles Kane. They have amazing songs on their two albums, The Age of the Understatement and Everything You've Come to Expect.
i second this!!!!!
3rd’d
yes i fourth this
5thin’ this
I don't think supergroup really cuts it tho
fullllllllly agree they need to play more humbug live
If that was a euphemism, then I wouldn’t be saying that my propeller wouldn’t spin- ‘cos you wouldn’t wanna go shouting that out, would you?
-Alex Turner
It took me a while to realize my propeller is about doin' drugs.
Was looking for this comment haha
I always thought the propeller was his mood, will to live
they played pretty visitors when i saw them in 2022 and yeah it was insane
They played it last year when i saw them too!! It was actually insane
They played pretty visitors, crying lightning and potion approaching both times I saw them
They play it live most times. At Glasto 2013 (their peak imo) he finishes it then quips verbatim; for all the fellas who were too cool to raise your hands for the Pretty Visitors chorus, this one's for your girlfriends!", then they launch into I bet you look good...
@@NiallDornanGlastonbury 2013 is def their best performance
Red Rocks 2023 played Crying Lightning and Pretty Visitors and if you check out the video, the transition from Knee Socks into PV was epic.
They played songs from every album. It was an incredible concert.
Screamed when I saw this video dropped. Been waiting for this albums reaction
Same!!
".. that had, more energy than 60 kids in a preschool full of sugar."
Kevin, after his first listened of Crying Lightning, 2024
Shame AM are loosing energy with each and every other record they make after this one.
PLEASE do Suck It and See so you can complete the series.
Love suck it and see. Was my favourite of theirs for a while
My favourite
Suck it and see if some of their best work 👌🏼
my fav
YESSS THEY NEED TO THAT'S MY FAV
I was front row when the Monkeys came here for the Humbug tour. My sister and I had motions to many of the songs, and Alex laughed at us for most of the show. It was kinda magical. Def one of my favorite concert experiences. Hahaha
By FAR the Monkeys' best album. Unbelieveable creativity from Turner and co. on this one.
Never heard this take but to each his own...
I agree, maybe not by far tho @@Mrillsick
@@Mrillsicka lot of people myself included think this is definitely one of ams best albums
Personally think it’s only second to sias, which is immaculate
It's not better than the first 2 or tranquility base, it's number 4 for me personally
I had completely forgotten how FUCKING GOOD Humbug was. I'll be listening to it non-stop for the rest of the week, thank you very much 🤘🏽
do you know any albums like it? ive been listening to it for the last few weeks and have been looking for similar albums so it would be great if you knew any :)
If you haven't already, listen to their two preceding albums. I was obsessed with this band for years and haven't found another band that quite scratches the same itch as early Arctic Monkeys did for me. However, there have been some that have gotten close.

@@LeftyRoy this helps a lot, thank you so much!!
oh my god so real. i was obsessed w crying lightning for ages and now i'm seriously obsessed w pretty visitors 😭 and then every other song is insane too i love arctic monkeyssss

They did play quite a few from this record on the recent tour.
“Potion approaching” was played a lot!
Also, crying lightning and “pretty visitors” were most definitely played at your show!
Thanks guys, Been waiting for this one!!!
Bravo
Also cornerstone is another one that was played almost always
Humbug is ELITE! I remember I took the day off school back in 2009 to listen when it was released. Potion approaching & dance little liar hit my entire body every time!
I USED TO PRAY FOR TIMES LIKE THIS 🙏🙏🙏
this is one of my favorite fall albums, thank you for reacting! i’ve been waiting for this!
This record I believe was produced by Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age, would love to see a reaction to their albums!
So many moments in this album are QOTSA-esque. The guitar lick in the back at the end of the final track is a perfect example of it.
It's fascinating how Dangerous Animals sounds exactly like something off Villains by Queens which didn't come out for like another 10 years. Homme's fingerprints are all over this album in the best way.
This, so many good QOTSA albums to react to.
I wanna see them do Like Clockwork so badly
Dingle me up lolol
Edit: PLEASE do The Last Shadow Puppets, both of their albums are flawless imo - it’s his supergroup with miles Kane, and to me it’s music that Alex and Miles just want to make for fun as a passion project. So much personality in every track, and so much interesting musicality. I think you’d both enjoy a lot :)
Edit 2: I got crying lightning, cornerstone and pretty visitors at the gig I went to last year, unbelievable at the front of the pit
They never switched drummers, you guys are talking about the bass player. Their 1st bass player left after the 1st album and then nick o malley came in during favorite worst nightmare until now
"Mom has a crush on Alex"😂
Who doesn’t lol
Mine too and everyone else's probably, to be fair even me as a hetero male does.
I'm hetero male and i have a crush for that mfkr :3
my future kids saying the same
As a bassist, I was offended that they didn't say anything about the bass in Crying Lightning 😵💫
And Jewellers Hand and Cornerstone. All brilliant
I went through a elitist prog rock phase after my Arctic Monkeys phase, so I stopped giving Nick and the rest of their band their flowers. I few years ago I got out of that mindset and decided to revisit Arctic Monkeys. Goddamn, they're good.

I just binge listened to this album again yesterday and now this video comes out, perfect.
Watching these is like rediscovering albums i love it
I was lucky enough to see the Arctic Monkeys live in 8th grade during their Humbug tour and it was UNREAL. A true one of a kind album
I saw them in 8th grade for the car tour 💀
Most underrated and simultaneously the heaviest
HELL YEAH, FINALLY. Now you totally gotta finish up their discography, only 1 album left
Yess, this is my favorite album!! I saw them back in 2022 and they played crying lightning, cornerstone, potion approaching and pretty visitors
Needless to say I was losing my mind
Same!! I cried during Crying Lightning. So so good
you guys are the best!!! and HUMBUG.. i mean what an album! so fun to dive back into this with you!!!!
Fun fact: Before the album announcement, they've been playing Do Me a Favour and Potion Approaching on tour just cause they said "the car" in the lyrics. I had the chance to enjoy Potion Approaching live in Argentina some months later under a huge thunderstorm.

I've been excited for Kevin to hear Crying Lightening ever since I stumbled upon this channel! Well worth the wait. Cheers guys!

100%
absolutely

great video like always!
THIS ALBUM IS FUCKING GOATED!
this came out just as i was getting into arctic monkeys at the beginning of high school and has been my favorite album of theirs ever since
This amazing&gripping album indeed has "no cracks to grasp or gaps to claw"! ;)
I would really apreciate if you guys made a reaction of The Last Shadow Puppets next, it gives a lot of contex to what they did after, and Alex said he was never realy singing before it
Rest in Peace to your father and grandfather ❤️❤️

YAAAAAYYYYY more arctic monkeys!! great reaction as always guys :) when yall are done with all of the monkeys albums, maybe check out TLSP? everything you've come to expect is my fav album ever!!
When I got to see them live last year in México they played Crying Lightning and Pretty Visitors, and I have to tell you those two are amazing to hear live, but this being my favorite Monkeys album left me wanting for more too
I found you guy from Arctic Monkeys album reaction been waiting for more
This is my favorite Arctic Monkeys record! The vibes are immaculate and Josh Hommes production sounds incredible, hoping you guys enjoyed it ☺️
My god the Arctic Monkey are so good. Hope you guys do Suck it and See to complete all their albums!
Brilliant album. I've been waiting for you to do a video on this one. It's great seeing other people's reactions to an album I rate so highly myself. Looks like you both enjoyed this one.
... Like Clockwork by QOTSA, lads. And thank you for reacting to the best AM album.
i was hoping for SO long that youd finally get your dad to react to this one!! It took me a long time ti finally explore beyond fyn and wpsiatwin but this is my favourite in the rock genre alongside the former now
Kevin calling “Fire and the thud” hot and steamy with his Las Vegas prostitute analogy was awesome. Little did he know this album was recorded in the desert in the US and is considered “Stoner Rock” because of the Josh Homme contributions
humbug and tranquility base are the only AM albums id consider 10/10s. absolute masterpieces and complete tone changes for the band
Same! Tbhc and humbug are definitely my favs from am, tbhc has been my most listened to album for so long
Completely agree, it just shows how both the young and the mature Arctic Monkeys are incredible in their own way
Their debut is my favorite album so I’d definitely call it a 10
they are absolutely the best two AM albums but I'd still consider them 9/10s
@@therealninjastar all of their albums are amazing, however if i were to recommend an album to someone, id give them either of those two. wpsiatwin is an amazing album as well, however i find some songs just not sticking with me as much as others
I was requesting this for AGES!
What a awesome surprise to stumble onto on a Sunday morning!!
matt helders owns this album
this is my favorite AM album hands down! so good!
Hell yea!!! I always asked for this one!!! Could you guys do the 2 albums of the last shadow puppets?! Please?!!!
And thank you so much for this one!!!!
I have been waiting for this video ever since I saw your first videos on am. One of my favorite records of all time, I love the Queens of the Stone Age influence. It was really fun to see you react to it!
If your dad thinks that this one's (positively) heavy, then you just _gotta_ finish it up with _Suck It and See_ soon.
That's the heaviest they've ever been. Hard fucking rock. And then the other half is just some of the loveliest, sweetest, saddest and most heart-wrenchingly romantic stuff you've ever heard. Shoegaze-y. Borderline dream pop. Such a great mosaic of an album.
The distilled essence of Arctic Monkeys, in a way. Like, if you mashed all of their albums together, _Suck it and See_ is probably what would come out.
YES, I've been waiting for this video I really enjoy humbug.
26:27 last thing I thought I would hear in this video 😂😂
Saw them in 2022 and they did crying lightning, potion approaching, cornerstone and pretty visitors. That dropped to only crying lightning and pretty visitors when I saw them again next year sadly.
DO SUCK IT AND SEE. It’s personally my favourite album
I always go back to this album. Bangs from start to finish and I always forget about one or two of the songs and end up falling in love with them again
26:08 Literally sat eating a Greggs susage roll while watching lmao what a coincidence
Yess so glad you guys finally covered this one! I got to see them for the first time last September and I definitely wish they had played more songs from this album. It was still amazing though! 😩
So to clarify what My Propellers about, Alex said in an interview that’s it’s about a descent. It has nothing to do with any organs 😂. Essentially, it’s about getting back on track after being in a deep depression by the help of someone else or drugs. Hope this helps!
Thx - Kev
@@kevinfromtttdo some drum covers from this album i know you like Potion Approaching
So it's like snap out of it but from the other perspective
I HAVE BEEN COMMENTING DO HUMBUG FOR MONTHS OMG I AM FREAKING OUT THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUU
I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH I AM SO HAPPY RN
