Nov 9, 2022This is the most boring album in the arctic monkey's discography. I mean there isn't one song to get excited about whatsoever. This sounds like a bad Alex Turner solo project. All these AM's fanboys saying this a masterpiece? I don't believe you. If any other band released this lounge music rubbish, you wouldn't listen to it!

Oct 21, 2022Alex turner continues his boring hotel lobby music in the monkeys new album. Absolutely pretentious rubbish from start to finish.
-
Oct 21, 2022There is much better lounge music from other decades!!! This is boring pretentious drivel.
-
Oct 22, 2022Alex Turner going full on lounge mode. The most boring album I have listened to this year.

Oct 23, 2022a lot is said of an evolution of the band, understandable such a vision, but it’s a difficult album to hear. even with a beautiful melody, but Alex's voice are annoying when trying to sing in a very different way than the general public was used to. it's sounds more like a solo album of the Tuner than the album of the band Arctic Monkeys. anyway, less bad than TBHC.

Nov 18, 2022I was so disappointed by how much the songs sounded the same and I felt like i was in some old jazz club boring as hell do not recommend

Oct 26, 2022Songs sound all the same - the tin hat being a song about literally watching paint dry. Not an enjoyable album.

Oct 26, 2022I haven't listened to Arctic Monkeys since "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not." I am by no means a dedicated fan, but when I noticed a new album drop, I checked it out.
Just to confirm I was remembering "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not" correctly, I put it on as well, just to compare the two. Talk about whiplash. -
Dec 15, 2022Experimental and unpleasant music topped by Alex Turner's extremely repulsive vocals.

Oct 23, 2022A self indulgent tentative of wannabe David Bowie and Scott Walker. Alex Turner trying hard to sound obsolete.

Oct 21, 2022Some bands should quit while they're ahead. They just aren't musical enough to pull off this feeling. Ill just listen to Al Green again.

Nov 7, 2022The Car is a slick mover, immaculately appointed and often beautiful. What it’s driving at, though, can feel naggingly elusive.
-
Oct 31, 2022There is one salient, nailed-on fact about this enigmatic album, however. It’s how easily its most anthemic cuts will slot into those revved-up Arctic Monkey festival set lists.

Oct 26, 2022Turner seems to be angling for atmosphere, not hooks, with his melodies. The free-floating croon helps The Car amiably drift in space but it also highlights how the record could use a couple of elements to bring it back to earth.
