what do you mean? i don't think it was awkward at all, i feel like that was the joke, like she was acting awkward but that's only cause Alex doesn't talks much and she has to keep it fast and Matt was trying to do his best, and they cracked jokes.too

thank god, matt was there, Alex would have just mumbled incoherent answers to her ridiculous questions

[@arcticcaligari2444]

Just Alex? If I had been him, I wouldn't have been able to utter a single word, I believe. What's more, incoherent questions deserve no more than incoherent answers, so she was way too lucky to have them in front. Anyway, Matt's simply incredible here, pure gold, all wit.

[@jackbrown6864]

As an Englishman I can confirm that the phrase "Suck it and See" is an British phrase which essentially means "try it and find out" which is an appropriate album title for a plain beige album cover it makes sense so you don't go in expecting anything, terrible interview though

[@yaboyMAP]

so true, and the fact they’re so reluctant to explain it is both out of annoyance and literally reflecting the central idea of the album - don’t have it explained, just listen to it :))

[@irahh]

thats what i thought it meant until one of my friends told me what they thought it meant

[@Sunlightuser]

When I knew the meaning I love it more than ever!

[@Tensaiharu]

I think that long sigh alex did when she asked the suck it and see question sums up this entire interview.

[@anyam9330]

Amani J. Agreed

[@clouds321]

so true

[@adriyear]

"You're in Chicago" "Am i?"

[@mrl_44]

When she makes the questions about Suck It And See, Alex seems ready to get the hell out. It's obvious for his reaction he doesn't want it to mean something sexual or at least not during this interview, she made both of them uncomfortable AND IT WAS SO OBVIOUS. She attacked him with questions implying he was drunk and sexually aggressive because of the name of the album, glad he just sat there looking like he couldn't wait for the whole thing to be over. And glad Matt was there to bring some laughs and kill the awkward silences.

[@starfun17]

TheTeufelin wow another hater! very original comment of yours. if you don't like alex what the fuck are you doing here?

[@wakeuptomusic]

every interview i've seen this lady do has been extremely embarrassing. it's like she's trying to be quirky and cute but it just comes off as making everyone confused and uncomfortable. i don't like spreading hate but this interviewer (kennedy i believe her name is?) needs to work on a few things !!

[@Casey97531]

why does she still have a job??

[@TheTeufelin]

Probably because she makes famous persons feel uncomfortably. :) I know it feels much better when someone is flatteringly licking your arse, but for me it's much interesting to watch when it's like she does...

[@Casey97531]

what?

[@GirlCrafter17]

I think she is brilliant! Most interviewers are boring and have NO sense of humor. She brings something new to the table, and I think The Arctic Monkeys enjoyed not having to answer the same old questions all over again. :)
