    Kind of been getting into them again recently.

    I do miss the grit of the first couple of albums, I understand bands grow and change over time but always felt they somehow abandoned what made them “them” rather quickly.

    All said and done I still think Alex Turner has turned into one of the biggest bellends around, talented yes no doubt but still.

    Tried to get tickets for their gig in Manchester in September on Friday.

    I had three laptops open and my phone from 8:45am raring to go....

    Got put in queues on all devices and they were sold out by 9:03am.

    * * take!

    So what does everyone think of Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino ?

    I managed to get an HQ leak on Monday, I really wasn't sure during the first play through but by the 2nd then 3rd play through when I knew the words I've been hooked.

    Can't stop listening to Four out of Five.

    I really quite like it. Songs like Ultracheese, Batphone, Four out of Five and Golden Elbow have wonderful almost psychedelic tones. I think the album will grow on me even more.

    It won’t be big commercially though. Not many songs will make it to mainstream radio. Not a bad thing though. A bit more alternative rock as opposed to pop vibes like previous albums.

    Is Alex auditioning for the latest Godfather film?

    That song is awful.

    Listened to the song posted above. Borefest.

    Their early stuff was infinitely better.

    I listened to a few tracks. Can tell I’m going to adore this album, great depth of sound and so well produced.

    Commercial appeal usually doesn’t correlate with quality.

    Sounds like Alex has just ditched the rest of the band to do a solo record with him and a piano.

    Heard someone else on Twitter say the whole album is just like one big long song which I thought was a great way of describing it. :32:

    A lot of bands like to explore different with sounds/styles on a new album which is fine and sometimes a good thing but this is just so far away from what we are used to hearing from them.

    Had such high hopes for this album too.
