What makes Suck it and See likable for me is the simplicity. It's a simple rock album that feels a little summery in a way. Like it's something you can put on while driving during the summer, with the windows down, when you don't have to think about it too much, so the lyrics really don't matter when the writing is weak. That might just be me, though.

Him claiming Alex Turner’s lyrics “pretentious” is wrong. Alex grew up reading and writing poetry when he was younger and thats a fact. If you do research on him and the band you can find it. Thats why most of his lyrics are like him telling a story.

[@joeldeakin2003]

@@YSLFLACKO I'm quite a big fan of Arctic Monkeys and even I'll agree his lyrics are pretentious. Whether he studied poetry at a young age or not, the 'stories' he tells are often boring, ambiguous or even just nonsensical. I love TBHAC and WPSIA but the middle albums are so mediocre, mostly in part due to Alex's boring songwriting.

[@RayyanKhanRayyanKhan]

@@YSLFLACKO Its heavily opinionated. There needs to be distinction between being artistically ambiguous and pretentious...I think its fair some of his lyrics are pretentious, as they are often mache'd nonsensical phrases that assume the listener will just accept it as being thematically relevant to the song

Brad, if you are a smart person, i think one day you will realize how good Turner is as a songwriter. Songs in a more traditional way are not boring, especially if the songwriter is really good at this art, which is the Turner's case. Futhermore, he's a great lyricist, because he can write about usual song themes like love, break-ups, sexual desire, etc. in figurative and innovative ways. He dominates the art of writing beautiful pop songs, not being predictable. In fact, he's very insightful.

[@ahhhhyes]

You come across just as pretentious as alex does lmao

[@calcrowe]

Ngl I love Arctic monkeys but the more music I listen to, the more plain and boring I find Alex’s songwriting.
