So, what is Arctic Monkeys most underrated album?
r/arcticmonkeys • u/ukdruminggirl • 13h ago
Other Matt Helders is the reason half of us picked up drumming and I don't think he gets enough credit for it
Grew up in Yorkshire watching that lad absolutely batter a kit and thinking, right, that is what I want to be doing.
There's loads of talk about Alex and the lyrics, fair enough, but the drumming on the early stuff never gets half the love it should. The energy on Brianstorm still makes me want to break something, in the best possible way.
And then he goes and does the complete opposite on the later albums, all restrained and groovy, and somehow it lands just as hard.
Anyway, drummers and non drummers both welcome. What is the Helders moment that lives in your head rent free.

Discussion What is the most whimsical Arctic Monkeys song?
Whimsical: Playful, imaginative and unusually fanciful
I was listening to The Jeweller's Hands and it inspired me to ask as I think it's whimsical in a sense

Discussion Keep reminding me that it ain’t a race when my invincible streak turns onto the final straight.
thats just the best lyric ever written. taken from the best song ever written. as the final track on the album they made directly after they made the best album ever..
for serious tho perfect sense is beyond mortal music.

Discussion If TBHC and The Car was released as alex's solo work, then how would The Monkeys have sounded post-AM?
I'm pretty sure the sub knows that alex was considering releasing TBHC as a solo work, but soon was against the idea. So this got me thinking, if TBHC and The Car (i included The Car, because it's basically considered to be TBHC crashing down to earth) was release as solo records, what would the monkeys have sounded then?
Both of these records are pretty integral to their discography, so it's weird to imagine them not being their albums. So would the monkeys continue to rock and roll? or the monkeys would be in a long hiatus since alex is more focused and on his solo work?
