It's one of my AM favourites. The way it tells you such an interesting story, and the way it escalates both musically and lyrically until it explodes towards the end is just too much for me. It's Alex Turner at his prime I think.
Humbug is definitely their best album, followed by Favorite worst nightmare, my top songs are: -Too much to ask -The blond-o-shimmer trap -Evil Twin -Crying lighting -Fright lined dining room -505 -If you were there beware -Despair in the departure lounge -No buses -Only ones who know Not even including their amazing covers (also Get around the wind by Alex never fails to make me cry)
Personally, AM is my favorite album by them and always will be. I didn't discover them until hearing Do I Wanna Know? on TH-cam, 6 months after it released. I was a sophomore in high school and not exposed to much so this album helped me discover alt rock/indie music which I didn't know I needed in my life. And so I didn't get that experience of hearing all of their albums when they released which I wish I did, but I love every album so much and they're just a part of my life and including TBHAC, which I think is an absolute masterpiece and work of art.
your video reminded me how much i love the arctic monkeys, the long time between their last album made me shift to other bands and lose a bit of interest, but damn i'm all about love now! thank you for the reminder!
Put aside all the rock'n'roll media and stuff. My favorite band of the new era. Great songwriting, aestethic, sound, influences. Best young guys around.
humbug is my favourite album of theirs so far. the darker tone is a great change that I really appreciated. I’m predicting the next album has some resemblance to the likes of tame impala and mac demarco.
alex turner is hands down the most talented artist of the music industry. it’s so rare to find someone who’s an amazing musician, playing several different instruments, a great fitting voice for the music he’s playing, while, most important of all, being a PHENOMENAL songwriter. anyone would be lucky to have 20% of the talent this man possesses
I am a guy from Northern England who grew up with the arctic monkeys. For anyone in this situation, whatever people say I am is the best. It's a cultural icon which is hard to explain
Dude I live for these videos of yours. Very eloquent thoughts on my favourite artists of all time. Fingers crossed their new album lives up to the hype.
Humbug is definitely their best album. My propellor, crying lightning, dangerous animals, cornerstone and pretty visitors are all in my top 10 favorite songs from the band
Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino and Humbug are two of my absolute favourite albums of all time, perhaps even my favourites. They don't get the recognition they deserve.
omg me! i came after they stopped doing shows and big live performances. definitely if i could go back in time, i would go to an arctic monkeys concert just to feel the absolutely banging vibe!!
@@deal5245 alex writes beautiful lyrics but imo, its probably one of those regrettable songs. awfully too repetitive and the lyrics dont offer too much lyrical substantiality. but you do you
Finally someone taking steps in order to actually tell us why they love somethin and not why it's important or matters. Dude, I subbed and now I am Full on inspired to do my videos
Reading festival 05 was the turning point. I saw them there and 2 weeks before when their august tour selling out 500 capacity venues. Everyone knew the songs even though they never had anything out you could buy. but after reading the october tour was announced and sold out in days. With london astoria probably their biggest show at that point.
Absolutely love and connect with all your vids and you've helped me discover some new artists and learn more about ones I already listen to so thanks you!! I'd love to see vids on King Krule and Bon Iver :)
Seeing all the comments stating humbug is allot of people's favourite album just shows the difference between how critics rate a bands art compared to the fans, every band has that album that will be remembered for its commercial success (AM) and the that album that will be remembered for its artistic endeavours (humbug) brilliant album.
I honestly don’t get the Humbug hype. Every track that’s not Crying Lightning or Pretty Visitors is really forgettable and boring, and I will never for the life of me understand why anyone gives a single shit about Cornerstone
@@garmen- what hype? It's just a solid album if you don't get it well it's on you ey, it's not on anyone to convince you. Barley anyone loves this album first listen it's not that kind of album, if you like lads on the town Indie tunes you know where to find them
my favourite songs are no buses, do me a favour, fireside, the ultracheese, mardy bum, don’t sit down cos i’ve moved ur chair, temptation greets you like your naughty friend, crying lightening and many more
this is the only channel that talks about indie music the way it should be talked, its like a revival of 90's MTV but in the present and talking about the cool stuff, keep forever with the amazing job dude!
AfroMedia, big fan of your videos. Listened to most of the artists that you've mentioned on your videos. You have covered many great upcoming artists, and your favourite musicians. How about talk about your "guilty pleasure" music? Discuss about what's so great about them and why you had the "guilt" while listening to it? Just throwing out ideas here, interested on your take on "guilty pleasure" music, in case you have one.
I love how diverse and yet cohesive their style is. From the rough garage rock of WPSIATIWIAN to a more agressive indie/alternative sound in FWN. I love the how they kept their agression from LP1 - LP2 and simply polished and refined the sound. The lyircs then took a huge leap from stellar to phenominal. In Hunbug we see that evolution and the rock agression fades out but is still present (Pretty Visitors, Crying Lightning, Dangerous Animals) and is combined with those tongue twister lyrics alex loves. Suck it and see took abit of a dive for me and it carries on that switch from raw garage rock to a physcadelic alternative sound. AM was a return to form and when compared to the 1st the change is jarring however when we follow the progression throughout it works. AM is polished and clean with expert lyrics and agression light physcadelia and a hint of pop mixed in. IMO the best albums are: FWN Humbug WPSIATIWIAN AM Suck it and See In terms of songs my favorites are: 1. Pretty Visitors 2. D is For Dangerous 3. Balacalva 4. If You Found This Its Probably Too Late 5. You Probably Couldnt See For The Lights But You Where Staring Straight At Me I love all of them and eagerly await what Tranquility will bring.
The older fans only love WPSIATWIN and FWN The real fans love Humbug The SIAS fans only love SIAS The newer fans only know AM The die hard fans love all of their albums
Uchima I completely disagree ...a fan is a fan! There should be no criteria- you can appreciate what you want! Loving music isn’t about looking good to ‘other real fans’. A ‘true fan’ is a myth! If you like it you like it!
Mercedes Dunn yo chill just sorting it out because if you ever look into it literally everywhere that’s not the case. Some people fucking hate their new shit. They like their old stuff. Some people just found out about them from AM. And you literally just agreed with me too. I just said if you’re a fan you like them why are you even arguing if you just restated what I said?
Honestly tho they are my fave thing ever. I feel honoured to have grown up listening to them and I really do adore them, I've never listened to a band and just loved them so much. Like honestly watching this video gives me Chils and heart ache over how much I want to meet them💞💞💞💞
I was such a huge fan of this band, i had every demo, cover and alt version downloaded on my phone. AM kinda turned me off of them but i hope this next album is ambitious
don't know what's my favorite. loved them since day one. Funny thing though, i could never get into the "suck it and see" album. That one is just too middle of the road for me.
What I find really funny is that Arctic Monkeys could have been a great prog rock band as well. I mean....just listen to Perhaps Vampires is a bit Strong but... and This House is a Circus (my personal two favourite songs). Great video though man, honestly I really respect your opinions and thank you for clarifying why I love this band #ultracheese
Hey, have you listened to Jam of Boston? It's a jam they started adding to their shows, it's really proggy, and I suspect they're going in that direction on their next album
Why Me I’m talking about the blues influences that showed up on AM. That compared to the black keys sounded familiar. I.e. why’d you only call me when you’re high.
I saw them in atlantic city n.j. 2 times, on the suck it and see tour at the now defunked house of blues and at bader field on the orion music and more festival headlined by metallica

“Humbug is their most decisive album”
TBHC: Hold my beer
NOOOOO it's hold my taqueria !!!
It was most devisive
Martini*
No it's hold my vacuum cleaner
@@BirdwatchingNZ TBHC? Yes, indeed. I love the album.
Am I the only one who thinks do me a favour is extremely underrated
Rubberumthedubberhum your not wrong!
raptorrw definitely those ones too
Great song
It's one of my AM favourites. The way it tells you such an interesting story, and the way it escalates both musically and lyrically until it explodes towards the end is just too much for me. It's Alex Turner at his prime I think.
I know what you feel...
this dude literally listens to everybody I listen to
Same!
OMG SAME
itsjulie funny channel! :D
Mazza Munchkin same
You know, most of us should be friends since most of us subscribed have the same music taste
'Most divisive album yet' ... boy do I have the album for you
Just what I thought
And now we’ve got what is essentially an Alex Turner solo project with him ranting poetry over a repeated instrumental track for 5 minutes
Absolutely perfect video man
love uuu
go back to playing minecraft you goon
Glad to see you here
I think it's time for a Tame Impala review, we all need it
Humbug is definitely their best album, followed by Favorite worst nightmare, my top songs are:
-Too much to ask
-The blond-o-shimmer trap
-Evil Twin
-Crying lighting
-Fright lined dining room
-505
-If you were there beware
-Despair in the departure lounge
-No buses
-Only ones who know
Not even including their amazing covers
(also Get around the wind by Alex never fails to make me cry)
So many people miss The blond-o-shimmer trap, it's great! Also, Catapult.
only ones who know and too much to ask are so underrated
M Reyes your favorite album is humbug and you dont even include a song from humbug in your top 10 songs?
besides crying lightning
Catapult and their red right hand cover are both excellent as well as leave before the lights come on
Personally, AM is my favorite album by them and always will be. I didn't discover them until hearing Do I Wanna Know? on TH-cam, 6 months after it released. I was a sophomore in high school and not exposed to much so this album helped me discover alt rock/indie music which I didn't know I needed in my life. And so I didn't get that experience of hearing all of their albums when they released which I wish I did, but I love every album so much and they're just a part of my life and including TBHAC, which I think is an absolute masterpiece and work of art.
Always been more partial to the early albums but sure am is great
your video reminded me how much i love the arctic monkeys, the long time between their last album made me shift to other bands and lose a bit of interest, but damn i'm all about love now! thank you for the reminder!
At Oussama same dude
Put aside all the rock'n'roll media and stuff. My favorite band of the new era. Great songwriting, aestethic, sound, influences. Best young guys around.
I love certain romance, 505 and Fluorescent Adolescent
Still take you home
Fluorescent adolescent is da bomb!
Yeah they're pretty mint
Look who it is
I thought i might find you here in the comments
humbug is my favourite album of theirs so far. the darker tone is a great change that I really appreciated. I’m predicting the next album has some resemblance to the likes of tame impala and mac demarco.
Dude, we need the Radiohead Discography review
alex turner is hands down the most talented artist of the music industry. it’s so rare to find someone who’s an amazing musician, playing several different instruments, a great fitting voice for the music he’s playing, while, most important of all, being a PHENOMENAL songwriter. anyone would be lucky to have 20% of the talent this man possesses
I'm gonna assume this is hyperbole
I am a guy from Northern England who grew up with the arctic monkeys. For anyone in this situation, whatever people say I am is the best. It's a cultural icon which is hard to explain
As a guy that goes out in sheff all the time their debut is the most relatable album I have ever listened to
So fucking rad bro. Please cover the strokes!!
Just coming here to say that over the past couple of days I have found that I absolutely love this band, every album is great, also love your channel
Alex Turner is an actual god.
If only he had a religion...
@@rimelgana1656 we can make a religion out of this
505 ❤
Dude I live for these videos of yours. Very eloquent thoughts on my favourite artists of all time. Fingers crossed their new album lives up to the hype.
Nick O' Malley wasn't the original bassist....it was Andy Nicholson
They are consistently great.
Humbug is definitely their best album. My propellor, crying lightning, dangerous animals, cornerstone and pretty visitors are all in my top 10 favorite songs from the band
We have almost the exact same taste in music, from rex to Claire to frank ocean. I'm seeing AM live in September and can't wait ahah. Keep it up man 💜
Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino and Humbug are two of my absolute favourite albums of all time, perhaps even my favourites. They don't get the recognition they deserve.
Lmao kinda sad because i fell for them too late
Lina H me too
karima taekookgotjams // when?
Only few months ago
Me too, i am already know them a long time ago especially when AM album release but i just felt into fangirling and music fans in may
omg me! i came after they stopped doing shows and big live performances. definitely if i could go back in time, i would go to an arctic monkeys concert just to feel the absolutely banging vibe!!
HUMBUG EXTREMELY GOOD AS HELL
Good stuff dude
Humbug is my favorite album
Are we all gonna ignore how one of his favourite songs of suck it and see is brick by brick
hahaha i thought the same, how is he gonna choose that
I actually like it too, there's nothing wrong with it😀
@@deal5245 alex writes beautiful lyrics but imo, its probably one of those regrettable songs. awfully too repetitive and the lyrics dont offer too much lyrical substantiality. but you do you
It was my favorite song on a first listen, but know it’s probably the song I like the least on suck it and see
Finally someone taking steps in order to actually tell us why they love somethin and not why it's important or matters. Dude, I subbed and now I am Full on inspired to do my videos
I must admit, I am much more a fan of their earlier work. New stuff feels l little too much like straight rock revivalism
I agree
Reading festival 05 was the turning point. I saw them there and 2 weeks before when their august tour selling out 500 capacity venues.

dude my favourite channel is talking about my favourite band, it really doesn't get better
Their acoustic album "Straighten the Rudder" is also fantastic for acoustic covers of their own songs. Love this channel and love you
that's not even an official album for god's sake
okay but its still good
I feel so happy whenever people talk positively about my favourite band
It would be great to hear one of these about Injury Reserve!

Barley anyone loves this album first listen it's not that kind of album, if you like lads on the town Indie tunes you know where to find them
Also, the song "Perhaps vampires is a bit strong but..." is a personal favorite
Just here to say that Humbug is the best album and all you peasants know it.
Barry Benson fuck yeah it is
That’s not how you spell whatever people say I am that’s what I’m not
Favourite Worst Nightmare
misspelled Favorite worst nightmare

Thank you for reviewing my favorite band❤
Humbug is criminally underrated and underappreciated.
my favourite songs are no buses, do me a favour, fireside, the ultracheese, mardy bum, don’t sit down cos i’ve moved ur chair, temptation greets you like your naughty friend, crying lightening and many more
this is the only channel that talks about indie music the way it should be talked, its like a revival of 90's MTV but in the present and talking about the cool stuff, keep forever with the amazing job dude!
I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion, but my favourite arctic monkeys' song of all time is Love is a Laserquest.
Tranquility Base was the proposed spot for the Lunar Landing.

Humbug is by far my favorite album of theirs
I just love this channel, awesome videos and the exact same music taste as I have
a certain romance is my favourite song literally ever
The older fans only love WPSIATWIN and FWN
The real fans love Humbug
The SIAS fans only love SIAS

Uchima oof why the hostility?
Lmao, I just got into their music this fall, and prefer WPSIATWIN and FWN haha
So I'm a die hard fan! Although I've only known them for a couple of months
505 is my favorite song of theirs too. good pick
whatever people say is probably my most listened to album of all time, i can't believe it was a debut
Their discography is flawless
Brick By Brick:
Honestly tho they are my fave thing ever. I feel honoured to have grown up listening to them and I really do adore them, I've never listened to a band and just loved them so much. Like honestly watching this video gives me Chils and heart ache over how much I want to meet them💞💞💞💞
yesss i've been looking forward to this one
I was such a huge fan of this band, i had every demo, cover and alt version downloaded on my phone. AM kinda turned me off of them but i hope this next album is ambitious
I bet you look good on the dance floor, Fluorescent Adolescent, 505, and Arabella are my all time favorites.
Amazing video. I love this band so much
I really love the band and every album they've ever put out. Personally, I find myself listening to Suck it and See the most.
Hey man, this was a great video. I just wish you got more into the ethos of Arctic Monkeys - the WHY, not just the WHO.
i have been watching your videos fro hours just trying to get some inspiration for new music im working on
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS CHANNEL
Great vid M8!
can’t wait to see them live :)
great video essay man!
I love em too. Can’t wait for the new album
505 is such a masterpiece
Really love the new live album. They have such swagger.
if you listen to cuco pleasee talk about him and if you dont you need to!!
don't know what's my favorite. loved them since day one. Funny thing though, i could never get into the "suck it and see" album. That one is just too middle of the road for me.
great video! you should make a vid on parquet courts!
What I find really funny is that Arctic Monkeys could have been a great prog rock band as well.

Thank you for the great video
I love my legends
Loved It!!! Do Florence + The Machine next!!! :)
too bad this video came out before TBHC. when you hear this album you realize that alex turner is not just a normal human, he is a GOD
Damn we like all the same music all different genres great video just earned yourself a sub
Well now TBHC is the most divisive lol, all their albums are great but humbug is the best, and pretty visitors along with it.
You like Brick by Brick? Well there’s a first for everything
so good
Been my favourite band since I got into music xD
Anyone excited for the new album
Conclusion:
“Yeah, they’re pretty good.”
HUMBUG IS THEIR BEST ALBUM. GOODNIGHT.
Crazy thing is this is the band that got me to pick up a guitar in 2007.
I just wanna hangout with this guy and vibe to good music man
Andy Nicholson was the founding bassist.
Love the video!!!❤️🙏 but in my opinion AM was way to similar to a black keys sound that was popular at the time.
Not really, they're much more punk than the black keys, and what garage rock influences they did have they dumped later on
Why Me I’m talking about the blues influences that showed up on AM. That compared to the black keys sounded familiar. I.e. why’d you only call me when you’re high.
really like your stuff m
this is killer
Why do you like everything I like
I saw them in atlantic city n.j. 2 times, on the suck it and see tour at the now defunked house of blues and at bader field on the orion music and more festival headlined by metallica
7:07 that hair flip!!
I feel i'm gonna be disappointed by their new album releasing on May 11th, cause they said it's piano...
