Definitely hearing some Suck It and See sounds in there, and that was released in 2011. I don’t mean their debut / AM or anything like that sound, just there appears to be some crossover when compared with TBH&C. 

But Suck It And See had... songs. 

[FloorFiller]

Quite like that new one - actually got a bit of something going on rather than the fairly mellow and formless other singles. Hope there’s more on the album like this with a bit of body to then, even if it is a bit of a shame that Alex seems to largely be foregoing actual singing for this loungey talk-singing thing he’s doing these days. 

[D-Low]

Must have complete opposite tastes to everyone here. Loved the other two singles but really can't get in to this new one at the moment. Maybe it's a grower.

Feel like this is the most formless one yet. Feels like it is going nowhere.

Every single song feels like filler that would be towards the end of one of their first two albums. But the filler that they didn’t actually include..

 

None of this adds anything to their catalogue. At least four out of five had something about it on the last album.

The new one intrigues me a little as the strings on the studio version feel like they take the song in an interesting and different direction. I liked the original funky live version (if after a few listens) but the extra part takes it somewhere quite pleasant.

Mirrorball is quite a cool sad song. Body Paint I go back and forth on - feel like the rock part at the end should be heavier.

[Matt42]

Sounds unfinished to me.

[Hugh Jass II]

Not listened to any of the new stuff yet.

Got the vinyl coming on Friday and I'm WFH, saving myself for that.

[MaxPower]

Ignore, misread.

Im slightly lukewarm on I Aint Quite Where I Am, but I now fully love Mirrorball and Bodypaint, so I'm very excited.

[49Lawson]

Not that it was ever really in doubt but I think this is the first official confirmation that AM are doing festivals next year

[Mezhyp1]

Thought the first 2 were only fine, but really clicked with that new one. Looking forward to the album 

[Andy0808 v5]

That latest one has grown on me quite quickly. Still isn’t what I wanted from them.

 

Biggest injustice is Humbug never got a part 2 and TBHAC has. 😭

100% agree. Humbug will always be my favourite AM album, I even adored Suck It & See, but they've kind of lost me since then. I loved the last Puppets album, and thought TBHAC sounded like offcuts of stuff Miles and Alex didn't use for it, it just didn't hit right at all with me.

I've completely written them off in terms of new music now.

Both the last album and the stuff released so far from this one is so far from I've enjoyed from those previous to it.

[Hugh Jass II]

Having said I hadn't heard any of the new stuff Body Paint just came on the radio.

I liked it, very 70's Bowie, reminded me of Moonage Daydream - which Turner covered on the Pyramid with TLSP in 2016. Maybe that moment has inspired that last couple of albums.

I feel the same.

Especially since I saw that 'Alex Turner ordering at a restaurant' piss take... I can't get past that now 😂

[majormajormajor]

I think Tranquillity Base is their best album. Humbug a close second.

Hence, cannot wait for the new one.

New album's leaked - sculptures of anything goes is outrageously good

To my disgrace I thought I was in the Taylor Swift thread 😂 ffs

[Nicklord]

Body Paint, Sculptures, The Car, Big Ideas are my favorites after 1 listen

[rgill3]

Anybody with the leak able to pass it to somebody who's about to sit in traffic for an hour and a half please?
