Am slaps idk why music critiques hate it. This is my fav arctic monkey album, maybe my favorite album period but AM is a very good album and I'll die on that hill

[@RayyanKhanRayyanKhan]

AM is their best album, ratings and commercial performance wise. Get over yourself

[@bentownsend4017]

It used to be my least favourite Monkeys album, though I have been warming to it lately. Still, WPSIATWIN and FWN > the rest of their work. Though that's not an insult to the other albums, it's a compliment to the first two. Imo, the arctic monkeys don't have a bad album.

[@robgreen5943]

Not many actual real Arctic Monkeys fans would say that. You have to recognise AM for the masterpiece it was while also realising how insanely good this album is.

Another great thing about the album is the story it tells in the first half. Alex turner takes the piss on night life and clubbing with great dark humor through different stories that we can all probably relate to from experience that we have had ourselves partying. Pay attention to the lyrics on the view from the afternoon (about meeting up with your friends, preparing for the party and hyped up with unrealistic expectations of the outcome) and Fake tells of San Francisco (talking about guys approaching girls and making up cool stories just to get laid. Something we have all done at some point hhehehe).

As a huge arctic monkeys fan and musician myself I have to say that their debut feels MUCH more technically proficient than a lot of the later material. Some songs off the debut i struggled to learn for much longer than stuff off of say Humbug or AM. I’m not sure why there is a drop in the technicality for the instruments playing after the debut but having attempted to play a lot of Arctic Monkeys their debut is very technical compared to the rest and I think that shines through with the music from the album. The garage rock vibes are endless 🤙🏼

So this is what them girls felt when you liked trench! I'm sure that you will like the rest of the album, you will probably like favorite worst nightmare (next album) as well, it keeps a similar energy with some new elements. I hope you keep going through the Arctic monkeys discography, tho I'm pretty sure you will dislike the fourth and fifth album. But im still soo hyped that you liked this one. I don't know if you are into live performances but this songs live in a show with a great crowd are incredible. A great example is from Ritz to ruble (probably my favorite song of the album) in trnsmt festival a year or two ago, the crowd sings everything at the top of their lungs and the band plays as fast and as heavy as they did 15 years ago. I can't wait for the next video men, everything was on point and that was Tina's best cameo yet. Keep up the good work brad, and take care my dude

They lost that gang of 4 vibe after about the 3rd album and they were spread all over the world. Alex stopped writing interesting stories I guess when he moved to Hollywood and just became about coke and models.

You’re evil for making me wait for a second part.

[@anabiasfe]

OMG IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG OH GOD

[@ridahamid9386]

So much energy in this video as well Brad! Can't wait for part two.

[@Catherine-xp3eb]

This albums was the soundtrack to my 10th grade lol

[@thehalf-dane4907]

"wait a minute this is actually pretty good" YESSS!!!!

[@ygb_]

This video I so good. Arctic Monkeys' career was built on how absolutely incredibly amazingly good this album is. Though they haven't ever been bad, they never made an album better than this one.

[@zerostring3515]

Oml you seem to be having so much fun with this album. I love to see happy Brad again. Hope you're doing better

[@SynergyFX.]

Favorite Worst Nightmare is just this album but 1.5x better (IMO)

[@syncops834]

Couldn’t have put it better myself

[@galetinm]

It's definitely not. (IMO)

[@cactaceous]

Yeah, no. Not even close.

[@SynergyFX.]

@@cactaceous oh no my opinion is wrong!

[@samfindlay8386]

Wish I could listen to arctic monkeys for the first time again 😔 just pure joy.

[@messina-media]

Watching this was endlessly entertaining to me.. "Turn-man?.. You're Spoiling ME!!!" hahahaha as someone who was on board with the Monkeys at the beginning and then lost interest in their later music, it was like watching my 20 YEAR EXPERIENCE: IN REVERSE/ In 20 MINS.... hahahahah You're reactions are priceless, on-point and reminded me why they were/are one of my ALL TIMES FAVs. I'll be spinning the Turn-man like I'm 17 years old AGAIN immediately after this... THANKs for the MUCH NEEDED reminder...

[@messina-media]

Aw Fuk!! Who am I kidding?!>! hahahahahahahah

[@eventicurse114]

This is such a good review Bradley, can’t wait for part two!

[@lucidsmack1694]

Keep making these videos Brad! I missed you and finding new music to listen from your reactions

[@bentownsend4017]

Part 2 when? Edit: and it was even better than the first one - I was smiling the whole time.

[@colehelvey4547]

Never

[@bentownsend4017]

Nah, he said he was moving across the country, so his schedule has been postponed a bit recently

[@benbernanke7244]

This was my childhood. In the UK we were given free tracks by AM online before their album. I remember proudly playing a AM track at school when I was 12 - we had a teacher who used to play music during the lesson. Them and Kaiser Chiefs were massive! I liked AM's first two albums but haven't liked any others; it is not the same sound and audience. That is okay - just not for me.

[@arjunmenon7099]

i keep coming back to this video because i love this album so much, and it’s so nice to live vicariously

[@bentownsend4017]

It blows me away that it has been a year since this video. Still my favourite video on the internet.

[@TheXerosChannel]

I was just smiling during the intro when you were talking about how slow and boring the other albums you heard are knowing this album haha. This is the album that even non-arctic monkeys fans like because its so good. And Alex was like 17/18 when he wrote all these songs.

[@domdolan3269]

I wish I was this guy listening to this album for the first time again

[@TempleOfUtopia]

Haha love your reactions bradley, this album is so great, I'm waiting for the part 2
