Arctic Monkeys
| Ah yes. I was listining to their new album when my mum asked if im listening to david bowie, so u arent alone with that.
First you have to see the process they made through their albums. humbug was pretty much grungy, slow rock. in suck it and see u can hear how mature the band got, i thought it sounds hardly like any rock. they got more experimental after all.
| in their hiatus between AM and tranqui... alex turner was touring with his other band The Last Shadow Puppets. Perhaps you should listen to their music first, then you recognise the influences on the new album from the am. alex was writing most of the music for the new album, plus he stated he was using the piano instead of the guitar.
| It's just the evolution they took it is very much different from the old stuff. It is isolating to the people that liked the old stuff but it seems that they are not looking to hold on to the past and just keep changing.
| I like their older stuffs better personally, but it warms my heart to see artists moving on and doing what's comfortable to them.
Too many artists fall apart emotionally because they just repeat what their fans want. People change. Makes sense that their music changes too.
| And hey for all of us who like their older stuffs better, their older stuffs are still there.
| Interesting. Thanks for explaining!
It's always cool seeing how band's music evolves like that. Too bad it splits some of the fanbase.
I'm a huge fan of David Bowie anyway so I like both

| So I've listened to Arctic Monkeys before. Liked their rock stuff, but when did they start making music that sounds like David Bowie? I can't be the only one that hears that right? Not that I don't like it, but it just seems weird compared to their older songs like Teddy Picker or Brainstorm
