Some would say they have done the full 360 in their last 5 albums, but they still somehow manage to create something different and even more meaningful each time a new release comes along, which is what you want from a mainstream band.
The then 19-year old Alex Turner is called the voice of the new generation and is praised for his sharpness, observation skills and humour. Comparisons with Paul Weller and Morrissey are frequent. It's an album full of clever intros and catchy riffs poured into thirteen banging pop songs.
arctic monkeys humbug full album free 19
I think we can all agree that Humbug is the Arctic Monkeys' worst album (or fifth best if you are a glass half full type of person). There are several regrettable tracks on this record that never quite make it to their live sets. This particular song is far from their best effort, but it's a good one to listen to while you're hoovering.
Not to be a stereotypical arsehole, but Arctic Monkeys' earlier stuff really has my heart. I'm not sure if life was just simpler back then and I was more carefree, but I found myself slightly annoyed by some of the tracks on the latest album. I want another 'Mardy Bum' in this lifetime if that's not too much to ask.
From the processed beats at the start, this is a disaster. The only redeeming parts of this song are the lyrics 'Let me be your leccy meter and I'll never run out', which is wonderfully poetic and gives a throwback to their first album, aka the best album of the 2000s.
Originally on their first EP in 2005, this track got its rightfully deserved day in the sun when it was released as a radio only single in the United States and The Netherlands instead of 'Leave Before The Lights Come On'. It's the most funky track from their debut album and the breakdown at 1.41 is sheer perfection.
