ARCTIC MONKEYS 'AM' (2013)


Once again, thanks to that very good Spotify 'Garage' playlist, and someone making fun of me asking if I was going to see the Arctic Monkeys (I guess hipsters like these guys or something?) I was able to discover another good album which starts out terrific and remains sorta solid as it goes along. The first 4 songs are amazing and they seem to capitalize on that all too common Orange amplification distorto sound. Some soulful backing vocals and a lot of hard drum bashing. Catchy and fairly unique.  Pick hits: 'R U Alone' and 'One for the Road'.  After the 5th track, I think it loses some steam.
