    When I think of the album AM, I always think of the Queens Of The Stone Age album Like Clockwork and vise versa. Two brilliant albums that came out months apart that I still go back to regularly. Also the fact that both Josh Homme and Alex Turner both appeared on each others album. I always feel a strong link between each album.

      Josh produced Humbug and they're all basically really good mates. Josh sang on Humbug, Alex came up with the word "Kalopsia" for Like Clockwork, etc.

    • @bswalem
      @bswalem Před 6 dny +1

      I would argue that in many ways they're opposite. Arctic Monkeys simplified their sound to it's most basic elements on AM and Queens made their most ambitious and conceptual album with Like Clockwork.
      I do also feel like although AM is pretty great, it's amongst their weakest, and Like Clockwork is QOTSA's best.

    • @JDE1995
      @JDE1995 Před 6 dny

      @@bswalem Yeah, the two albums are nothing alike. They just make me remember the time they both came out. I like the Arctics, but AM isn't their best.
      Queens are my favourite band, and as much as I love Like Clockwork, their most ambitious and one of my favourites was Era Vulgaris. But I think their best will always be Songs For The Deaf or Rated R.

    1) If AM has a spot, then I think WPSIA deserves a spot. 2) What is Zane waffling about. Of all of AM's albums, I wouldn't say that AM is a transient "moves and develops with you as you age" album. What new revelations do age give you about "Arabella" or "Why'd you only call me when you're high?" or "One for the road"

      Exactly, songs like Do I Wanna Know, R U Mine, and Arabella are the soul, the sound that hooks people to the album/the feeling that hooks people onto love. While No. 1 Party Anthem and Mad Sounds are the heart of the album, they're both in the middle of the record, and they have a more honest look at the message of the album/the meaning of the search for love.
