Arctic Monkeys
AM
Domino Records
This is
probably the biggest album of 2013 for me, for a number of reasons. A – This is
the album that really got me into music, style and The Arctic Monkeys and B –
It is just utterly amazing.
The Arctic
Monkeys aren’t the new kid on the block when it comes to making a stellar
album, from day 1 these Sheffield lads have been putting out singles and EP’s
that ruin the competition and gain them more fame and followers each and every
time. With this album the progression of the band is clear, and within minutes
you can feel the change of pace and class of this band.
Once you get
listening the band hits you hard with a guitar and beat that’ll make you feel
the need to gel your hair, get some Chelsea boots and a leather jacket.
Honestly Do I Wanna Know being the first track on this album followed by
R
U Mine? Is possibly one of the best choices ever made on an EP. I can’t
begin to express the utter class of Mr Turners voice as he sings this album,
not only has the style and class these days but the vocal and musical
progression. Lets not forget this band write these songs themselves and Tuner
writes these lyrics, this isn’t a fake band with some overpaid guy with an
English degree to write the lyrics for them. This album is here to say to the
fans that there is change but it’s still the good old Arctic Monkeys, the
guitaring skill and drumming from the band is at its peak as well.
This album
far extends beyond just the EP, the music videos and the images that have come
with this show with crystal clarity that the Monkeys are different, more classy
and better than ever. I rate this as a 9/10 and a must hear if you have even
the slightest interest in good music.
