Pre-Order Thread

Reading some posts in here that seem like they should be in the hot takes thread tbh! So let's set the record straight now that Arctic Monkeys rule and haven't made a bad album yet. Of course they don't still sound like they did in the MySpace days fifteen years later, I have no clue why anyone would wish remaking your debut album over and over on a band, but that sounds absolutely miserable to me. I say if AM want to be indulgent then let them. The fact they aren't averse to taking chances and reinventing their sound is part of what draws me to their music so much.

100% agree. It feels like the general consensus is everyone likes the early records but AM is probably my favorite and I was a fan from the beginning.

Just because some enjoy their first album the best doesn’t mean we want them to make the same album over and over. They did that already and it’s great.

Speaking for myself, I find the last decade of AM albums to be boring and inconsequential. I enjoy AM recent output more as a concept than in execution…and that is fine. I will give this album a chance just like I have all their previous records, at this point I doubt I will be disappointed since I am expecting to be underwhelmed.

Also, between The Arctic Monkeys and The Gorillaz you have a big soft spot from UK bands named after primates.

That first Mason Jennings album is so fantastic. All his stuff is, really, but I wore out that CD in my old Toyota Corolla on the frozen streets of Minneapolis back in the day. Was just thinking this morning of writing Bandbox to try to convince them to do a pressing. Great (and creepy) timing!

I really love his first album too. Haven’t really thought of him much recently though. I think I checked once on Discogs and it’s never been pressed to wax. I would sign up for Bandbox for that one.
