| Arctic Monkeys // Humbug |
Oh god for real like two songs into this thing I hated it. Two. Songs. Here's the thing. I don't like old mate as a vocalist. It's the faffy pretentiousness of Matty fuckin Healy but wildly less fun and more curmudgeonly. The only song he doesn’t sound like a prat on is Fire & the Thud and that’s no help as instrumentally that’s the most boring song on the fucking album Fire & the Thud more like Fire and the Dud. Gottem. I mean, Pretty Visitors could be a great song with the guy from Idles on vocals shouting about smashing some fukn dumbass homophobe.
Look this album isn't for me. It's just everything I hate about indie, garage rocky, post-punk revival. And everything I hate about those genres is when they’re up themselves. What I’m trying to say is that this album is up itself. And not even in a 1975 way where you get to learn new words and sing along to fukn bops. No this is just ploddy and bland and annoying and just not for me. And that’s okay. Not everything will be. Guess I can confidently make an op shop trip to drop this one off because I will not miss it.
