Been listening to some Arctic Monkey's in recent days, and I'm starting to come around.

This House is a Circus is one of my favorites - the lyrics are pure class, everything about that song works.

Old Yellow Bricks is equally as clever.

Favorite Worst Nightmare is perhaps my favorite album of their's - although Humbug is close, and I HATED THAT FUCKING ALBUM for the longest time.

Slowly coming around to Suck it And Sea - still the weakest, but the second half is strong. (Hellcat, Love is Like A Laserquest, Piledrive Waltz, Reckless Serenade, Stunts - all phenomenal. The rest is filler. But my opinion my change.....).

And AM is the reverse, with a strong opening, and just utter dross filler (with the exception of Call Me When You're High).

Maybe AM and Suck It will reverse course like Humbug did. Suck It is slowly doing so....

When Turner is on form, he is brilliant. But I just find too many fillers on albums that are uninspiring on the HC level....

My opinions shift so dramatically with this band, something that I don't experience with any other artist. And for that, I'll keep on listening.

More on topic with the thread, one of his finest ever lines:

I took the batteries out my mysticism and put them in my thinking cap.

^That is just utter brilliance.

Not gonna lie, this is brilliant:

And do you still think love is a laserquest
Or do you take it all more seriously?
I've tried to ask you this in some daydreams that I've had
But you're always busy being make believe

I fancy you with a passion
You're a Topshop princess, a rockstar too
But you're a fad, you're a fashion
And I'm having a job trying to talk to you

Still Take You Home. Think it's probably my favourite Monkey's song.

"My Mistakes Were Made For You"

About as subtle as an earthquake, I know,
My mistakes were made for you.
And in the backroom of the bad dream, she came,
And whisked me away, enthused.

And we're just following the flock,
Around and in-between,
Before we're smashed to smithereens
Like they were, then we scramble from the blame
And it's the fame that put words in her mouth,
She couldn't help, but spit them out.
Innocence and arrogance entwined,
In the filthiest of minds

for me, the best song of the album

Was just thinking about that one, great lyrics and a belting tune over all, is that the one with the line about a rock falling and will "probably hit something in a hazard this terrain"? Love that line.

I'd much rather have another Last Shadow Puppets album than more Monkeys at the minute tbh, I love the sound of the songs on the first one, even if there is a fair bit of filler

That love is all and love is everyone: it is knowing.

This is frigging brilliant imo, from 'Teddy Picker'

"Another variation on a theme,
A tangle on the television and a magazine
D'you reckon that they do it for a joke?
D'you reckon that they make 'em take an oath?
That says that 'we are defenders
Of any poser or professional pretender around'"

That love is all and love is everyone: it is knowing.

Theres a couple of hundred
Think they're Christopher Columbus
But the settlers had already settled
Here long before you

Just because were having a say so
And not lining up to be play doh
In five years time will it be
Who the fucks arctic monkeys?

Was not concerned about what life was sending.

Shoutbox

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Up in the Sky sounds like the La's on steroids, especially that Liam Falsetto that I can almost picture Lee Mavers singing with all his big teeth showing Sept 12, 2024 7:52:29 GMT -5

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so. I can't remember the name of the site that had all the gigs listed and sources for loads of gigs next to it? I remember RKID 003. Sept 24, 2024 17:34:46 GMT -5

mimmihopps: Bring It On Dan, it must be sadsong.net. I don't know if the site still exists. Sept 25, 2024 7:20:44 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5
