Oct 21, 2022Very mature album, but I think 'Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino' was far more interesting. Lyrics are top-level, but the music doesn't sound that engaging, at least on first listening. Let's see if this becomes a grower.

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 22, 2022One of the best albums of the Arctic Monkeys, the new sounds explored are exquisite
-
Oct 22, 2022you have to feel the feelings in order to understand the beauty of this album. surely it's not for everyone. glad i can get it. an amazing album, love how arctic monkeys always improve and put out something new. people will get this album YEARS LATER, it sounds so timeless.

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 22, 2022The Car is incredible. It shows why Arctic Monkeys are considered one of the greatest modern bands. The evolution of the band can be noticed from the first song to the last. It may be a difficult album to digest for many just like what happened with TBHC but the quality and sophistication will place it as one of the best records of the band and the decade.
-
Oct 21, 2022A great epic jump from their previous album, the orchestra on this album is beautiful and really compliments the band and most importantly Alex Turner's vocals which have taken to a new style which I'm every part here for! Congratulations AM

Oct 22, 2022Just like the previous albums, it needs a view listens to really sink in. But their new album is again a masterpiece, especially the songs Body Paint, There'd Better be a Mirroball, Sculptures of Anything Goes and Big Ideas. Can't wait to see them perform it live.

Oct 21, 2022this album really has a very authentic essence and a very well achieved end as well as an unbeatable musical production, in this album we can see the true talent of the arctic monkeys And specifically the talent of Alex Turner to be able to interpret these songs written by himself
-
Oct 22, 2022Listening to the album feels like a travel through many different chapters of a big story. Arctic Monkeys really knows how to set a mood. The evolution from era to era is amazing.

Oct 22, 2022It's the Best of the Monkeys, the first five it's humbug or some dark rock alternative

Oct 22, 2022Se siente mucho la madurez de la banda en el álbum, es muy bueno en cuanto al sonido y la letra una complementación increíble.

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 24, 2022Similar to tranquility base hotel & casino, but definitely a more mature album, you can tell that every detail was polished before recording which makes it great, the violins and the guitar solos give a different experience than what you are used to.
-
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.

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.
