It’s a great album all around, but “Do I Wanna Know?” is the absolute peak for me. Love that so many people have covered it.

I was so disappointed by their follow up album. But I saw them live right around when it came out, and that was a really fun show because they played a good variety of songs, including ones from AM + earlier.

“Do I Wanna Know?” is probably the best rock song of the last decade. I just love it. I remember when I first heard it, I had it on repeat for weeks.

I absolutely love Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino 😔 but I know I'm in the minority. I was blasting it this morning when I was alone in the office not even realizing today was AMs birthday

it's not my favorite but I like it too. it's solid and i appreciate it.

is this the hollywood forever show? i was there too and the only thing i regret is rushing to the stage to be in the front and missing out on those shirts they made specifically for the show, even though i bet the weird felt lettering would be all kinds of fucked up by now 😩

[scriptedending]

yes! the crowd was so into it, lotta energy from up front! I'm old and claustrophobic so I tend to hang back at the edges of shows, lol.

lol i don't blame you because the sudden surge forward when they came onstage was a nightmare, i forget i'm also too old for that shit until it's too late and i'm stuck in it. and it didn't help that we had to suffer through cameron avery and his poor wife as an opener
