After how massive AM was and how quickly tickets for this tour started selling, before they had even announced an album or anything I don't doubt it.

They toured together and are known to really like TBK. It does sound a lot like a Black Keys song, honestly lol but then again TBK songs already sound like most blues-rockin' songs. That's not really an insult, mind you.
Yeah, I still dig their music but it's funny as shit seeing the scruffy kid I saw for the FWN/Humbug tours turn into this preening rock n roll dbag.
I'm still here for the music like I said but everything Alex does outside of AM irritates me and I probably would not pay to go see them on some arena tour they'll most likely do behind this album lol.

I saw those when they got announced, most of the dates and appearances announced so far definitely seem like a preamble to proper US/UK tours they will definitely do as they've always done behind their albums.
Case in point, I live in Dallas and we don't normally get skipped over for their tours, so they are probably gonna come here and to a bunch of other unannounced cities going into 2019, and then it'll be a decision if the new material slaps or the goatee Alex has magically matured him enough to see them again.

holy moly they look old now
they also look like the Magicians Alliance
I remember when these guys were my favourite band in the world.
Everything I've heard from them recently has been really not my thing, sadly.
I hope this one is more like the older stuff but this looks like they're going even deeper into weird arty stuff.

I have about five or six more years mileage than them, but jesus christ I feel young-looking for my age after seeing this pic. Dude on the left looks like he's pushing 60.
Oh, that's nothing compared to watching the Smashing Pumpkins transform from grunge kids into the Addams Family.
We're pleased to announce our live dates in September 2018. Tickets go on sale at 9am on Friday 13th April. Support comes from @thelemontwigs - for more information head to http://arcticmonkeys.com
I never listened to their albums but did any of them bump as much as the Brianstorm single or was that a one-off?

Like Disco said, you gotta listen to the entire Favorite Worst Nightmare album. Humbug is great too aa is Whatever People Say I Am Thats What Im not.
Suck It and See is a bit of a mixed bag and AM is certainly more simplified and commercial which turned a lot of fans off but its still a great album.
You should listen to their first couple of albums (up to Suck it and See). I still like their later stuff but they've gone in a pretty different direction.
Gonna be really difficult to stop myself listening to a leak when there is one.

Lol it leaked. Quality is pretty bad so I'd wait until either the album comes out or a better quality one gets out there. But yeah, it's good.something you'd like to share with the class?
EDIT: and when I say bad I mean recorded from an Instagram story playing the album on vinyl bad
Yeah awful quality leak is out but they preformed some of the songs live and you can see like 5 of the songs played live on youtube

Found the leak. A lot of people are going to be disappointed or just straight up hate this album. It's has some of the vibe of Humbug but that's about it. Alex really seems to have put down the guitar in favor of the Steinway he was given and I'm not really sure how I feel about that. I understand why they didn't release any singles, it's an album that's best listened to all at once, but at the same time it's an album full of midtempo songs with little to no guitar focus and I'm not sure how I feel about that yet. It's good, but it's different and probably going to upset a lot of people that have their expectations set for something completely different. Whatever you expected it to be, that's probably what it's not.
Outside of it kind of completely being one tempo, I like it.
So basically what I'm saying is, it's The Last Jedi of Arctic Monkey's albums
There's a leak out there.
It's an incredible album. A few songs have to grow on you but there's plenty that hit you on the first listen.
It's their best work yet and I love it

I can beat that, used to see Turner on the North stand at Hillsborough for Wednesday matches before their first album dropped.
He's definitely disappeared up his own arse since then.
I've not liked much of what they've done since FWH - which for me is their best album - but I'll always give their new stuff a go.
Basically where I'm at. This is a big departure from AM, which is what got me into them in the first place. The initial disappointment of that is making it difficult to judge the album. And now I'm reading articles that have been out for weeks telling people this wasn't going to be "guitar heavy", so it looks like I'm just out of the loop.
Interesting impressions in here. So some people say it's most akin to Humbug in terms of mood and tempo? Would be ace since Humbug is my favourite. But there needs to be one song like Pretty Visitors to shake things up. Man that shit was fire. Gonna listen to it now. Those drums.
Is the leak still the Instagram one from earlier in the weekend, or a higher quality one? Struggling to wait!
I'm a little disappointed, which is weird because I like the Last Shadow Puppets/Alex's solo stuff a lot more than most people. Something isn't clicking with me. Maybe I'm just in the mood for it at the moment.
Four Out of Five is great though.

Listening to the high quality leak rather than the low quality vinyl rip makes such a huge difference.
You can hear all the layers of each song properly.
This album definitely takes a few listens to get into it properly.

Where did you find the HQ leak? I've been searching around and struggling to find it. My vinyl just shipped, can't wait!
Got it from a private tracker - easiest place is probably 4chan if you can be arsed going there.
Looking forward to giving it a listen.
Became a big fan in the Humbug and just-after era (loved all 3 initial albums, that's just when I got super into them). Was on the forums anticipating SIAS etc... Thought SIAS was alright but a decline, and then I was a little meh towards AM. The line "You're not from New York City your're from Rotherham" suddenly felt like an attack on themselves.
Anyway, will give it a good go, hope it's good. I still like Humbug, so if there are vibes of that, i'm excited.

I love this direction Alex has been taking the past couple years. Such a unique sound. This album doesnt have a single on it, I can see it not getting anywhere close to the numbers AM got, but it's a very unique experience. The songs are all catchy as fuck once you let them simmer in after a couple listens. It's like a space opera mixed with lounge jazz and Frank Sinatra, sprinkled with some Ziggy Stardust for good measure
Is it anything like Humbug when it comes to the mood? Not sound, mind you. I heard that two times now and a third time would make me very happy. :P
First impressions are this album is a car crash.
If it weren't for the band name, no-one would willingly listen to this.

I've listened a few times, and I'm not sure what to think quite yet. There are some moments I really like, but also a lot of instances where the tempo is same-y. Really drags in certain parts.
So... not really unique, and more... heavily derivative? It's like a pastiche of that era/genre.
