17 years and Alex still cannot talk lol. I love him
Alex has such a relaxing voice
I love this album. I've been a fan for 16 years. They can drastically change their sound, but still manage to stay true to themselves and artistically push boundaries. Alex's struggle with celebrity and the band's massive fame is interesting. I think a lot of fans just listen to AM or early albums for the rock n roll factor & don't bother listening and deciphering his lyricism on the less mainstream albums.

I think I’m actually going to like this album more than TBHC. Mirror ball was really underwhelming when I first heard. I thought it was going to have more guitar, but I listened to it again and again and again and then I found myself having it on repeat the whole day and singing along to it. Then Body Paint came out and there was the guitar I was looking for plus I really like the song as a whole. I’m excited for this album. I think it’s out already in the UK, but I’m in the States so I’ll have to wait a little bit longer. Can’t wait to listen to it on vinyl as well

I don't know if it's also a direct reference to this Tread Softly Stranger movie when they talk about Hello You, but in The Jeweller's Hands (Humbug's final track) Alex says this exact sentence "Tread softly, stranger, move over towards the danger that you seek" , and maybe this is the 'other song' Alex says he mentioned it before. Alex doesn't spontaneously talk abt his lyric writing process v extensively but then again we get to know specific references and reasonings behind said references that makes us rly curious if there's in fact a personal meaning to bits we don't quite understand in his more recent songs (TBHC - The Car, particularly, I'd say)
Aslanlar yine yapmış albümü
This was a really nice interview- I think better then the TBHC one too.
I guess I have to take a few more of proper listens to really appreciate the album. It hasn't settled in that it's by the Monkeys. It actually almost feels like listening to Alex covering Bowie's songs (Moonage daydream for example) with TLSP which doesn't have to be a bad thing. Al's vocal range blows my mind now than ever!
