[@lulusheffield1884]

It’s because we are so used to hearing people who open their mouths and answer by rote, giving the same bland, much-repeated answers. Al thinks about his words and constructs his sentences so that he expresses exactly what he’s thinking/feeling. And he’s brilliantly articulate in doing so.

Zane's just terrific. He interviews people like they're his friends (many of them actually are) and it gives the interview this lovely laid back energy. People like Alex and Them Yorke open up to him because even though they're not too keen on doing press, as least they know what they're getting with Zane.

[@davidcjupp]

I always wonder if the relentless fanboying makes them cringe a bit. He has ALWAYS done it since the MTV2 days but it would be weird having your mate gush at you non-stop. He does it so much that it comes off as over the top. I think he's a massive music fan and its authentic so its cool but man... tuck it in. Although, maybe it's a pre-requisite of being mates with A list celebs.

[@rai2423]

@@davidcjupp I think most of the people he interviews understand that it’s just apart of the job. The interviewer is a stand-in for the fans and has to bring that enthusiasm. And Zane is very good at his job. He also seems to be a genuine music lover which is nice to have as a musician.

[@vanessal.8309]

Something that I admire about Zane is that he really listens to the music and the arrangement of it. Of course that’s his job, but after listening to the album I heard the strings and the band “competing” and if I didn’t hear Zane point that out, I don’t think I would appreciate the song as much. Taking the time to listen to every part of the song and not taking it for face value is something I would like to start doing, so thank you Zane for inspiring that.

[@Rob954ever]

I'm relatively new to AM. I've only been listening to them since about the end of 2018. How they never got on my radar is beyond me. I am now a HUGE fan of theirs. I mean.... I've POURED over their albums, obsessively. I've come away with two things: 1. Alex Turner is a ROCK STAR in the true sense of the word. Almost a throwback to the great wave of British bands of the late 60's and 70's. Amazing vocalist, stage presence and he has a keen sense for a musical hook. 2. He is easily on of the best songwriters and lyrisist of his generation of musicians. I can't think of anyone that paints a more vivid picture in his writing or understands the power a poetic metaphor more than him. Even his side projects are amazing. One of my all time favorite songs is " My Mistakes Were Made For You". That song just fires on all cylinders. Absolute genius songwriting.

Alex Turner has never stopped surprising me since the first time I listened to A.M. in 2005... He creates entirely new songs and worlds on every album... He is close to a younger Damon Albarn in the sense that he goes farer and farer with his own experimentations... without trying to explain too much... like any artist, sometimes you do stuff without fully controlling it in the making.

33:05 - 33:15 must be "It's Hard to Get Around the Wind". most favourite track of submarine, in my top ten of alex's output ever produced. one of the main reason was the guitar picking, aside from beautiful melodies and lyrics, that made me pick up guitar and learn how to guitar pick that way and it changed my life guitar-playing wise, and i am just a casual guitar playing bloke haha, so Mr. Schwartz is the most standout track for me this album almost only because of that, along with the mysterious moog-powered sound of Sculptures.
