Dec 2, 2018They used to be great but this is slow tripe :(. Sad to say but it's probably time they gave up.
-
May 12, 2018Definitely an interesting listen. The lyrics are cryptic and often time feels a bit off the music weaves in and out of melodic tunes to weirdly disjointed drums.
-
May 13, 2018Very smooth and sexy album from the one and only Arctic Monkeys. It is very true that this album sounds much much different from their other tunes but there's no denying that this one is an absolute banger like the others. Album theme fit perfectly with the music setting you into the feeling of listening to the boys in a casino on the moon.
-
May 14, 2018Although it's very different from earlier Arctic Monkeys albums, it's very intruiging, thanks to slick instrumentation and production and Alex Turners clever lyrics and songwriting.
There are seemingly no hits and not even many choruses, but it fits the albums overall concept. Definitely grows on you. -
May 18, 2018listening to this is like inducing your ears to an endless torture that can get to sleep your auditory sense or damage it.

May 17, 2018An album which you grow to understand with every listen. Arctic Monkeys evolve once again to provide us with a unique, lush new sound which makes them feel like the coolest band on planet Mars. Modern but old school, it makes you think Bowie could be the co producer, co writer and co singer! Definitely worth a listen, but make sure you listen to it again.

May 17, 2018Tranquility Base is a brilliant album that is powerful and cinematic - and taking me deeper into it's world with each play. A natural progression for the band. Perhaps not for everyone, though the trick is you have to listen to it. Ten out of ten, and that's unheard of!
-
May 17, 2018Wasn't sure from the first listen. After a few plays it starts to click. Good album overall.

Jun 4, 2018Don't take me wrong, I am a huge fan of the band, love every simple album so far ... except TBH+C ...
This album is boring as hell! this looks like elevator music!
I am just sad now that their incoming presentations I will have to listen to those tunes :/ -
Jul 27, 2018This album is complete **** Turner's embarrassed the band and tarnished their rep for sure

Nov 12, 2019Álbum horrível, a única música que presta é Four Out Five.
Perdeu toda a essência do rock alternativo -

Jul 21, 2018It's fitting for a relaxed environment. Fast, exciting riffs should not be expected: that's where I think the negativity on this album comes from. Like Arctic Monkey's previous album Humbug, it takes multiple listens to the songs to appreciate the melodies more.

May 14, 2018Literally couldn't tell when one song ended and another began, it sounds the same the whole way through. Not their best work. Hopefully it grows on me, they are one of my favorite bands.

May 30, 2018Unfortunately it's the worst album of the career. One or two songs that are really good, I think I got used to Arctic Monkeys landing good songs do not expect this.

May 31, 2018Monkeys or Alex Turner? Album is 'innovative' but for that you need some sort of substance. This album is horrifically flat, dull and boring to honest.
Nice try Alex. Hard luck Monkeys you got shafted here. -
Jun 14, 2018Are they experimenting? I don’t recognize them. I only listened to 3 their albums. Maybe they had been playing like that even earlier than they had made these 3 albums, but it isn’t exactly. In general, do not expect them to be as cool as before. Good songs will be from Monkeys, but others.

Dec 6, 2018I've never heard something like this album. Special blend of Bowie's best years and Turner's bravado. Fresh and, in my honest opinion, right change of direction for the Monkeys. This is definitely a grower, so give it a few more listens in case you didn't like it.
-
Nov 15, 2018Though it isn´t too original, this is a good album, you should give it a listen, but don´t expect it to be a masterpiece.

Dec 25, 2018Love it. It is amazing how this band manages to change, but at the same time remain itself and not degrade.
-
Apr 12, 2019A strange album to say the least. It certainly has some high points, but at it's low points it can seem drab and forgettable. The album as a whole is dangerously close to being a project with a singular purpose - to stroke Turner's own ego.

May 5, 2019Easily the best thing the Monkeys came up with. The way Alex focused on piano melodies instead of using his guitar helped to change (in a positive way) the direction the band was taking until the moment. Moral: you don't need aggressive guitars and fast tempos to make a great and perfectly enjoyable album.
-
Jul 11, 2019I don't think I really got this album, it seemed as if AM tried to go the other way for no reason at all. We've all heard similar sounds, so this is not so dramatic and inspiring. It just sounds unnecessarily dramatic, I guess?

May 26, 2020A great musical wealth. An incredible adventure of arctic monkeys. with songs that were very well composed and grouped around a theme.
-
May 28, 2020This album is different. I never consider this album bad at all. You need to listen this album without influence from previous albums. It'll grow on you.
-
Mar 21, 2021The album is by far the best of artic monkeys after a quiet vibe, whoever criticizes the album with weak arguments such as "no guitar" or "where are the most lively songs" are people with a façade mind, the album resembles musicians like David Bowie and Lô Borges, there are very valid reviews for the album but it does not cancel the qualities of the album note: 8.3

Nov 13, 2021Para aqueles que esperavam letras joviais e riffs cheiros de energia, o álbum pode parecer soberbo e inquietante. Quem estiver disposto a olhar além dos moldes do indie rock, tranquillity base hotel + cassino pode transportar o ouvinte à um reflexo embaçado e desafiante de uma mente criativa em seu auge de melancolia e profundidade.
-
Nov 17, 2021The best album of AM. I don't undertand the hate to it, maybe people don't like different things and only like to listen to the same music style. i won't judge you, sure, but before contemplating something, you should get rid of prejudices.
-
Nov 25, 2021o melhor álbum da banda, eles amadureceram muito do álbum antes até esse, as letras, melodias, tudo soa perfeito.

Dec 24, 2021Obra prima da música moderna
Críticas sociais e referências impecáveis Álbum feito entre 2016-2018 com críticas que continuam fortes e atuais, envelhecendo igual vinho -
Aug 29, 2022Their best complete album. Exceptionally thoughtful, introspective and innovative. Incredible lyrics and an actual experience. Close minded fans of their earlier work may not enjoy as every song isn't about failing to pick up girls in clubs. 10/10 and will only age better as time passes. Honestly give it a few listens!
-
Apr 12, 2022Very special album. Plays like it could have been Alex’s solo masterpiece, that said, I’m glad it’s a group effort. A change in sound and style again. It is as cool AF.

Oct 5, 2018The Monkeys' most anti-rock album, Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino proves their most adventurous, pop accessibility be damned.
-
May 24, 2018The first listen may be surprising, but repeated listens illuminate that Arctic Monkeys remain progressive and energetic even when style and mood shift dramatically.
-
May 23, 2018Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino is the best possible kind of average record, one that goes out swinging. One that goes for it on every level. A record that, although it isn’t great by any typical metric, is extremely curious and entertaining.
