dentalplan Posted October 11, 2021 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 Nah. You can say a lot of things about the Arctic Monkeys but saying they’ve just churned out music in the same style for their entire career isn’t one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on, CalGon loves to shit on AM despite most of his criticisms not actually being valid… Albums 1 & 2: “chip shop rock” (their phrase) Album 3: Desert rock with Homme producing Album 4: Softer and slightly more psychedelic. Album 5: More mainstream indie with hints of hip hop beats and harder rock sounds. Album 6: Avant garde French cinema Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely everybody remembers that album where Love Me Do sat side by side with Revolution 9.

Think you referred to it before as a total dud follow-up, but it might have been tongue in cheek.

It would be fucking exhausting if everyone aimed for that. Also doesn't really back up CalGons point that AM aren't doing this 3 decades later (along with nearly everyone else).

Exactly, not every band has to be pumping "worthy" challenging stuff out with every release. Some acts do what they do well, AM have nailed the large scale crowd pleasing indie thing, you've usually got a pretty good idea what you're going to get from them, and that's just fine.

But their last album isn’t that at all? That’s the point people are trying to make, they’re not just churning out the same album with a few big singles every couple of years.

priest17 Posted October 11, 2021 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 There's only one person who's suggested they make the same album every time, and they've just sat back and watched everyone argue for a whole page ahah. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maelzoid Posted October 11, 2021 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 Yeah, I'm playing devil's advocate somewhat. But even so, when I think of band's that have evolved musically over their career, I don't think of AM. I'm not saying they've stagnated or anything, but compared to Blur or Radiohead, they have stuck to a style with some modest variations.

priest17 Posted October 11, 2021 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 Blur did evolve from a bunch of southern posh tossers to a bunch of southern posh tossers minus a half decent guitarist (albeit they went back on that a decade later).

In that case, why do they play nu metal music and dress like nu metal stereotypes? 🤔 ‘Nu metal’ and ‘good’ are not mutually exclusive terms. Very often they’re not used at the same time but in some cases they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The term nu metal has been binned with it only be used for nostalgia purposes now for bands like Limp Bikzit who people see for their classics songs whilst the others acts from those days like Deftones had growth past the time period are labelled with "alternative metal" instead even though it's largely the same bollocks.
