That's what they've become at the time. In the beginning when they were at their best they weren't like that. Last album and the next one were written on a piano, so you'll struggle to find a guitar riff at all, sleazy or not. They've got progressively worse with each album they made.

His vocal phrasing is insane. Even though the band is playing a 4 bar, he’ll sing his lines at 5-6 bars, then pause or shorten then come back right back on the one.

As George said, the setting is not right. This not the song you play at the club, but it is the song you'd play on the late night drive back from the club. They are a band that is stronger lyrically. Fluorescent Adolescent is a favorite. The Artic Monkeys remind me a lot of The Clash. Glad you gave it a spin and thank you for the shout-out!

"When the sun goes down" is an absolute must listen from them

Lads you're not wrong 🤣 this is definitely a sexy, sexy song haha I was at a party talking to a guy I had a HUGE crush on, and I was so nervous even at 23, then this came on and I was suddenly so confident and... well. Landed that one. 🤣

The whole album is perfect. Concept, songwriting, guitar riffs, drums, mixing etc. 10/10

"When the Sun Goes Down" by these guys has one of the best guitar riffs. Would love to see you give that one a spin.

As soon as I saw arctic monkeys I clicked this band is legendary.

Chevy and Bacardi both used this one in their TV commercials and they both run during football/basketball games so maybe that’s it?

I love how much you focus on the lyrics, Alex is one of the most talented lyrics writers out there, full of humour (he already got you laughing from the first song 😁) and life experiences everyone can relate too.

505 with the steady increase in intensity/emotion is a must

53 here , I’ve seen every genre of music live that you can imagine. I absolutely love this band! Followed them since 2007, finally saw them live in Detroit 2018, amazing live.

This album is really good. There’s a half dozen songs on it that simply just slap. Pretty amazing that a concept album about a concept as simple is what can happen in the later hours of the evening could be this good.

"Crawling back to youuuu., ever thought of calling when you've had a few.. Cos I always do , maybe I'm too busy being yours to find someone new"😭🔥

Absolute tune! I bloody love Arctic Monkeys, seen them a couple of times live and they come from just down the road from me in Sheffield. Great song choice too!

Please listen to something off their first two albums! "When The Sun Goes Down", "505", "Fluorescent Adolescent" & "I Bet That You Look Good On The Dancefloor" are some of my favorites.

If you want more Arctic Monkeys, definitely do When The Sun Goes Down

You need to do "I bet you look good on the dance floor"!!! Alex Turner is a wordsmith of the highest order. I can also recommend Bloc Party - A song for Clay.

Really like your channel. Your personalities are fun to watch. And I love how open you both are to rock music. Great to see your reactions.

Love being a part of your patreon. In the middle of a stressful work day...I got to watch this at lunch. You guys always put smile on my face. I'm excited about the new platform and can't wait to see what you guys come up with!

This song is straight up the best popular song of the 10's, it's just phenomenal.

Must do next "why you only call me when you high"

You should really check their old stuff! "When the sun goes down" "Mardy Bum" and "A Certain Romance" are just a few of their great tracks!

Favourite Worst Nightmare is my favorite work of theirs, just a fun mix of groovy rock sounds. AM has a whole different vibe in comparison.

Lads. Finally. As a UK watcher of your shows Im so glad you finally got to these. They are massive here. You got to do the view from the afternoon.

Bro said tape deck 😂 I feel you man, too funny!!! Love you guys, keep up the great work. Always get excited for a new video 🤘🏼

such a gooood song aaaghhhhh the vibes

You really gotta check out the live version of this - singer is an absolute rock star... not too many of those left these days.

I definitely love this song! This and Why Do You Only Call Me When You’re High! They just put me in a mood!

When this first came out I couldn't get it out of my head. I guess you never know what will do it sometimes. "So have you got the goods? Great line and song when ur in a dark hotel room....lol Cheers

🦋Omg YES! One of my favorite Arctic Monkeys songs! This is Great! Thanks guys for such a Awesome Reaction.🎶❤🖤 Other great songs by them to react to would be "R U MINE" "I Wanna be yours" & Arabella.🦋The breakdown you both gave was. "On Point!" Definitely a song you play to relax and unwind. Every women I've ever met loves this song.

The layering of the vocals during the 2nd chorus is so good

When the sun gose down!!! Yall love it

A great song by the Arctic Monkeys. As others stated, check out some of their early work as well. The lead singer, Alex Turner, struck up a friendship with Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age and sang backup vocals on the QOTSA "Like Clockwork" album. Josh returned the favor and sang backup on this song. This song is very much in the swag vibe of QOTSA. You NEED to hear some QOTSA songs from that album (I Appear Missing, If I Had a Tail, My God Is the Sun, etc.)

Their older stuff has a bit more bite to it, I Bet You Look Good on The Dancefloor or Fake Tales of San Francisco from their first album are both really good

A little ditty.. Josh Jomme from Kyuss and QOTSA co produced an Artics record

I'm so happy to see you guys expanding your business! The best reaction channel on KZread I am definitely going to sub to Patreon and check out your new website :) Love from the UK, you guys deserve it and more

FYI Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age) is in that falsetto mix in the chorus.

I do love me some Arctic Monkeys, especially this jam. Takes me back to my late teens.

Check out "A Certain Romance", "The View From The Afternoon", "When The Sun Goes Down" or "From The Ritz To The Rubble" - all from their first record. In the early days of the band Alex Turner was open about how grime and particularly artists like (early) Dizzee Rascal were a big influence to them, and they combined that with huge choruses and catchy hooks to create an interesting and unique sounds. Later albums never quite hit that magic spot in my opinion.

Good to see you guys branching out. Definitely didn't expect the Arctic monkeys

Great review as always. I love how you guys do different genres. I feel the brilliance and charm of arctic monkies is amplified by there references to English and especially northern English culture. All the way down to Alex accent. That isn't to say they don't transcend genres and countries .. I just feel it you have that point of reference it adds another layer to their brilliance x

I’m about to see these boys next week out here in Vegas for Life is Beautiful!

Yay,, are we doing indie rock now? Now you're talking my language!

I love this song!! I also recommend "I bet you look good on the dance floor" and “why’d you only call me when you’re high"… so good! Great reaction!

Have never listened to these guys but I’ve seen the name a lot. I really like this and will seek out more from them.

An album of theirs where I like basically every single song is Whatever People Say I Am That's What Im Not. I'd personally give a song off of that one a listen. Fake Tales of San Francisco, When the Sun Goes Down, or From the Ritz to the Rubble are some of my favorites.

So excited to watch you guys react to songs from this album. My personal favourite is the last song, I Wanna Be Yours. Similar vibe, nicely bookends the album. And has some hilarious lyrics.

His lyrics are great! Lot's of Northern English to chew over. Great video guys, as always! More Arctic Monkeys please 😁

When the Sun Goes Down, Mardy Bum, Teddy Picker. Some of my fav Arctic Monkeys songs.

Gotta react to some first two album songs. They were HUGE in britain with those, do “Brianstorm” & “When The Sun Goes Down” 👍

Their live shows are naaaaasty. Can’t believe I’ve been listening for nearly 20 years 👵🏼 Their early stuff goes extra hard. Edit: George seems meh on the vibe, but Ryan you really should check out their first two albums.

Hi guys, came here from Dave - Psycho and was intrigued you were looking at one of my favourite bands. One thing to note is change in the band's direction. First two albums you mentioned are some of my all time favourite albums, a lot of great songs and a very different sound to what came after. 505, Mardy Bum just to name a few are worth checking out

Has a “Putting On The Ritz” vibe. From the 80’s! That’s the familiar sound blended with a “We Will Rock You!”

This song in many movies. Peaky blinders. A few others . My favorite song at the gym.... Great for reps...❤️❤️❤️you
