ARCTIC MONKEYS – THE CAR – ALBUM REVIEW
Arctic Monkeys are undoubtedly one of the biggest, most talented bands on the planet. They have very much earned the right to do whatever they want musically⊠but wow.
How do you follow up an ill received, lacklustre, bloated, flop of an album such as âTranquility Base Hotel & Casinoâ? Well if you are Arctic Monkeys, you double down and again ditch your signature sound and attitude to release another collection of boring lounge pop dirge.

Itâs difficult to write a balanced review of new album, âThe Carâ in all honesty. If everybody is honest with themselves, this is not the album we wanted from the band this time around. Although Iâm sure that many old school fans would love a return to the sound of their first two albums, that was never going to happen.
But after the enormous success of generational release, âAMâ, which appeared to be the perfect middle crowd, âThe Carâ just sucks the enjoyment out of this once formidable band. This stubbornness from the band has though, as we said earlier, been earned. Itâs their well earned right to record and release the music that they want to.
It just makes you wonder what happened to that rock ânâ roll, eh? You know that rock ânâ roll, that singer Alex Turner said just wonât go away, that will never die and thereâs nothing anybody can do about it! Well after these past two albums, you canât help but wonder did Turner think to himself â challenge accepted!
If you enjoyed âTranquility Base Hotel & Casinoâ, congratulations, you will also very much enjoy, âThe Carâ. It demonstrates just how musically talented and dexterous the band are. If however that last album wasnât for you, I wouldnât even bother hitting the play button on âThe Carâ!
