You need to stop abbreviating the band name to AM or this happens.

Hahah I didn’t notice.

But yeah I don’t think their power as a high selling, high charting, high streaming, and festival headlining band has gone anywhere.

Funnily enough I’m getting a bit of Deju vu here. We heard they were headlining 2013 (pre AM) and we debated the popularity of the band after Suck it and See - which was a somewhat ‘less’ commercial effort compared to other releases. 

As we know they returned with AM and their career had a second wind.

If they come back with a more commercial sounding album I don’t doubt for a second they will go straight back to the top.

I’m waiting for some hot take right now that AM wasn’t actually “that” popular of an album.

My hot take is that it is not actually that good an album - DIWK and RU Mine are ace, but it goes downhill from there.

Comfortably their worst IMO.

If FWN was their first album and not their second album, they'd never have had a second album and would be working in Sports Direct with Miles Kane and some prick they went to school with. It is terrible.

Because it's going to happen:

Suck It and See >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Humbug > Tranquility > AM > Whatever >>>>>>>>>>>>. Alex shouting "ladies" for ten hours > FWN

Jez, Tranquility their third :O FWN is a good album, much better than AM that is overrated.

We saw in 2018 that Arctic Monkeys are big enough to make festivals wait and announce their live dates together (until Idles spoiled the Primavera lineup of course), so until they start being rumoured for other festivals I'm going to assume that offer was already in place for 2021 and is more likely to end up being rolled over to 2022.

Since we're doing album rankings...

1. Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino
2. Suck It and See
3. Humbug
4. AM
5. Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not
6. Favourite Worst Nightmare

Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino is my least favourite by far- listened to it again before writing to confirm my original thoughts were correct but probably never return to album. It was peak Alex up his own arse lyrically. Sonically i felt it was so jarring, the rhythm and melody was just uncomfortable to listen to. Prime example is on the first track "star Treatment", it will chime in with that change in pace @ minute 1.38.

 

While i think there is some utter tosh on AM i thought it was 1. Very relatable, 2. Such a smooth listen.

Yeah. Agreed. Humbug probably my fave though.

1. Humbug (way, way in front) 

2. Whatever People Say I Am... 

3. Suck It and See 

4. Favourite Worst Nightmare 

5. TBHAC 

6. AM 

I'd go with this as well, minus the way, way out front.

People talk about tbhac being a grower but it took years for my love of SIAS to fully materialise, it's unfortunate for it that I'm so attached to the other 2. It's definitely Matt's best work, there's bits of it that just make me grin that you don't really get on their other albums.

It's starting :D this is my favourite part about the build up, when people start hearing little bits of things.. and its starting in August! Love it!

So if we had to guess (or maybe someone knows?) which night would we be thinking if it is Arctic Monkeys?

I would guess Friday just because of the last two times, and Saturday looking like it’s keeping Sir Paul.

Thank you :)

I'm guessing then if they do it and it is Friday that's my hope of The 1975 out the window, I think everyone guessing before had put them on the Friday. Not sure if I'd go to Arctic Monkeys.. suppose it depends who else is on - but that pretty much goes for everything doesn't it when you're deciding who to see :lol:

My guess would also be Friday and it’ll be one or the other of AM/1975.

Fri: AM/1975

Sat: Macca

Sun: All to play for still. Can’t see it being another male guitar act, and all of the other contenders - Swift, Gaga, Eilish, etc have various question marks next to them.

Genuinely don’t know who’s most likely for Sunday at the moment.
