I don't think Turner is as insanely cool as he's often made out to be, his ability to write a tune has diminished greatly since 'Whatever You Think I Am...'

"his ability to write a tune has diminished greatly since 'Whatever You Think I Am...'"

Nah

He kinda lost it on Suck it and See and it's back more than ever on this.

Was told half the album is super cheezy. Is this accurate?

Nah I wouldn't say so, unless they're talking about lyrically in which case it's no different from the usual Monkeys lyrics.

Maybe. I just needed a push to listen to it haha. Been jammin that Volcano Choir nonstop, bout to check this out. First 3 tracks released had me expecting AOTY contender, so hopefully it holds up.

Well I hope you dig it as much as I do man, but definitely give it a shot. Knee Socks is quite possibly the best thing they've ever done (in strong contest with Cornerstone, anyway).

I don't really understand all the negativity around Suck It And See. For me it's easily the strongest since their debut, and contains some of Turner's finest writing.



I'm not really convinced by this. It's decent but I don't think it's anywhere near as different as people are making it out to be.

I just gave Suck it and See another listen then, actually. For the most part it's just... good, not great or not bad, but it's SUCH a chore to make it through from start to finish cos there's so little variety. Some great tracks in there, especially the last three but for me it's still their weakest.

Suck it and see has an average second half, but it's arctic monkeys so their average is still good. First half is all killer.



Everyone knows humbug is the best :P

Humbug rules so hard goddamn. Dangerous Animals is kinda weak but every other track on there fucking kills.
