  Tranquility Base is an album that ages like wine. The more I listen to it, the more I fall in love with that effervescent image of a retro hotel on the moon, learning of the cards and characters inhabiting this slowly gentrified spot in the moonbeams

  quick correction from someone who had a very intense arctic monkeys hyperfixation in 2020: the neighbours were alex and jamie. they both received guitars christmas 2001 and as a result of that, the strokes and bands their mates were in (including future bassist nick o'malley) made them want to make a band :)

  I can't really get into Tranquility Base either, but I absolutely respect it for the sheer ballsiness. They FINALLY break out in the US five albums into their career, they get a whole bunch of new American indie fans, the band makes them wait 5 years for new music, releases NO singles beforehand, and then they drop a weird sci-fi lounge album instead of normal indie rock. It's amazing. No sarcasm I love that this happened, total Chad move.

  In 2013 we had a poll for the best song in Russian Arctic monkeys fan-club. It was going on for a couple of weeks, and when we got Crying Lighting against 505, they were going side by side with the same amount of votes for 5 days straight. It was insane, it was a real holy war in the comments. 505 won by one singular vote, after the poll time was extended to another 2 days

  Tranquility base is a mastapiece. Wasn’t really feeling it when it came out, but I haven’t been able to stop listening to it since 2018. I won’t say I like it more than the first two albums, but it deserves to be cherished as much as them

  PLEASE do a Fiona Apple DDD. The entirety of her discography is exceptional and you wouldn’t have to worry about it becoming outdated soon, since she releases an album every 10 years.

  Speaking of Queens of the Stone Age, I’d love to see a DDD of them. Their discography is consistently quality work

  I was just thinking earlier in the week about AM. The chokehold that album had on 2014 tumblr was truly a cultural reset.

  AM is Arctic Monkeys’s legacy album. Though it might get hate for being slow and boring at times, it shows their maturity. They simply couldn’t be in their mid 30s singing about the clubs of their teenage years. The songs on there are the ones that will stand the test of time, and AM will define Arctic Monkeys legacy for decades.

  I will NEVER stop defending Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino. It has a very special place in my heart.
