    Their 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!

    Very 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.

    Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino is simply magnific, is perfect, everything, the theme of futuristic sci-fi is incredible, this is probably the best arctic monkeys album, the lycrics are good, but there are some excuses like "She Looks Like Fun" and "Golden Trunks" the rythm is strangely satisfatory, and i love that, this album is just the best comeback that Arvtic Monkeys could haveTranquility Base Hotel & Casino is simply magnific, is perfect, everything, the theme of futuristic sci-fi is incredible, this is probably the best arctic monkeys album, the lycrics are good, but there are some excuses like "She Looks Like Fun" and "Golden Trunks" the rythm is strangely satisfatory, and i love that, this album is just the best comeback that Arvtic Monkeys could have done, American Sportar and TBHC are theb est musics in the album, 10/10, this is music, real music.… Expand

    One of my favourite albums, almost every song is bliss from start to end. Needs a few listens to really set in.

    The Monkeys' most anti-rock album, Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino proves their most adventurous, pop accessibility be damned.

    The first listen may be surprising, but repeated listens illuminate that Arctic Monkeys remain progressive and energetic even when style and mood shift dramatically.

    Tranquility 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.
