Stop it. This came out like… 4-5 years ago, 6 tops.

I know people think this album is overrated but idgaf it’s my favorite album by them and it still gets rotation. Great memories watching them perform live at the iHeartRadio theater in Burbank.

I’ve said this before but, I will never forgive myself for getting so drunk at their LA concert at the Staples Center and falling asleep mid-concert in our company’s suite. Like what friends let someone nap during a concert and who does that anyways? SMH. 🤦🏽‍♂️

I seen them a few years ago and got that drunk I blacked out and was saying to my friend I can’t believe they didn’t play fluorescent adolescent and she was like they did… you danced all the way through it. Oops 😅

arctic monkeys my fav band, i think ive seen them 4x. while understandable development, i wasnt expecting the direction they went after AM came out lol. first 5 albums i listen to all the time, most recent 2 (tranquility base, the car) i barely listen to :x

the only song from the car that hit with me was sculptures of anything goes, but basically because sounds like alex turner's pitch to get AM a bond song lmfao. but yeah otherwise their last 2 releases are practically elevator music to me rip

Yeah TBHC was mostly a miss for me, but I have liked more stuff from The Car. From what I have seen, the tour seems to be a good mix of old/new, so here's to hoping I can somehow score tickets soon.

yeah i wanna say the last 2x i saw them they would do what felt like half the songs from the current album and the other half of the songs are the hits from all the previous. i wouldnt hesitate to buy tix, theyre always fantastic live.

another cover! love this album!

I remember hearing I bet you look good on the dance floor when it came out but it wasnt until this album that I really started listening to them.

This album was the beginning of my dip into indie rock. I loved it so much and it’s still on rotation. It’s become such a pop culture icon, Hozier’s cover of “Do I wanna know” is on constant repeat.
