Arctic Monkeys Albums Ranked From Worst to Best
HTML-код

- This week we're ranking the seven studio albums by Arctic Monkeys.
****
Arctic Monkeys are an English rock band formed in Sheffield in 2002. The group consists of lead singer Alex Turner, drummer Matt Helders, guitarist Jamie Cook and bassist Nick O'Malley. Former bassist Andy Nicholson left the band in 2006 shortly after their debut album was released.
Arctic Monkeys were heralded as one of the first bands to come to public attention via the Internet, with commentators suggesting they represented the possibility of a change in the way in which new bands are promoted and marketed. Their debut album, Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not (2006), received widespread critical acclaim upon release and topped the UK Albums Chart, becoming the fastest-selling debut album in British chart history at the time. It won Best British Album at the 2007 Brit Awards and has since been hailed as one of the greatest debut albums. The band's second album, Favourite Worst Nightmare (2007), was also acclaimed by critics and won Best British Album at the 2008 Brit Awards. They went on to release Humbug (2009) and Suck It and See (2011), both of which were well-received critically, albeit not to the extent of their first two albums.
The band's wider international fame came with the success of their critically acclaimed fifth album AM (2013), which was supported by the global hit "Do I Wanna Know?". It topped four Billboard charts and was certified 3x platinum in the US. At the 2014 Brit Awards, the album became their third to win British Album of the Year. Their sixth album, Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino (2018), was a major departure from the band's previous guitar-heavy work, instead being piano-oriented. Their seventh album, The Car, was released in 2022 and received nominations for the Ivor Novello Awards and the Mercury Prize in 2023. It received a Best Alternative Music Album nomination at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards, their third to do so, and their second consecutive nomination after Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino.
In the United Kingdom, the band became the first independent-label band to debut at number one in the UK with their first five albums. The band have won seven Brit Awards; winning Best British Group and British Album of the Year three times, becoming the first band to ever "do the double" -that is, win in both categories- three times; a Mercury Prize for Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, an Ivor Novello Award and 20 NME Awards. In addition, they have been nominated for nine Grammy Awards, and received Mercury Prize nominations in 2007, 2013, 2018 and 2023. Both Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not and AM are included in NME's and different editions of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time lists.

So sorry to learn of Kram's departure. I would just like to thank him for entertaining me over the last few years and wish him all the very best for the future.
Whatever people say I am in last is craaaazy
Riot van and when the sun goes down are my two favorite Arctic Monkeys songs
Very sad Ryan left, but I get it, it's a big commitment to listen to all these albums. Thank you Kramzer and take care!
I'm going to miss Kramzer, the dynamic you all threw together and developed was something special. I'm ready for what's to come on the channel though, sticking with you guys.
Yeah, the channel will be fine with Jason & Joe, but I sort of hope they find a third host - I liked the wider set of opinions.
All the best to Kramzer - he did a great job. Glad the channel is still carrying on!
Good luck to Kram on his future endeavours and thank you Kram for your input on this superb channel - often the one whose views match mine most, and enjoyed his analysis. You guys continue flying the flag for the good ship that is Tastes Like Music - all the best to you - such a great channel and such wonderful broadcasting. You’re great guys!
Big thanks to Kram for all of his work on the channel. Sad to see him go for sure. Looking forward to the future of the channel though.
Thats sad about Kram. The bands breaking up 😢 I kinda agreed with him most, especially with his love of Radiohead, Replacements, Flaming Lips and The National. He had some great jokes too! We differed on stuff too, obviously. Im still trying to get over his Jason Isbell negative comments, lol. Still, hope he is well and happy. Best of luck, whether yous recruit someone new, or continue as a dynamic duo. Stuart
Kramzer was the yin to Joe's yang and Jason's pie symbol. He will be missed.
Thank you for your service Kram. We’ll miss your banter with the other boys and your bad opinions
Kram had best opinions😡 #JusticeForKram #ApartFromHisBeatlesOpinions
He did not
His critique of Billy Joel's discography was legendary
@@MMoses87 Legendary, but wrong.
Kram added a lot to the channel and will be missed. His great knowledge of music and his skill at communicating ideas, plus sense of humor added a lot! Best wishes to him.
sucks kramzer is gone but i'm really glad you two are continuing on. i love the channel
I’ll stick with the channel as I’ve been here since almost day 1 when Jason was on his own. But I didn’t realise how much I’d miss Kramzer until he was gone. I can always rewatch the old ones and I just spent over 2 hours rewatching the Kinks ranking
One of my favorite Kram moments was in an early vid where he was wearing an SF Giants hat while drinking Dunkin' Donuts. It was irony personified.
I will miss Kramzer. I think the best thing about this chanel was the dynamic about you three guys. But I'm glad you continue. Show must go on :)
I like the Arctic Monkeys and absolute love the debut. For me one of the best debuts ever.
As an AM fan I was looking forward to this. Seen them a few times including earlier in 2023. My top 3 would always alternate between the first 3 albums but currently-
1. Humbug (seriously Cornerstone and Crying Lightning are classics)
2. Whatever People Sat I Am.... (A Certain Romance deserves more love guys)
3. FWN (so solid front to back)
4. The Car (gets better with every play to the point it challenges my top 3)
5. AM (very solid but my love for it has lessened in time. Do I Wanna Know would be a top 3 for me overall))
6. Suck It And See (I saw them tour this in maybe 2011 and maybe only half the songs grab me)
7. TBH&C (I've tried and tried but no I cannot place it above the bottom)
I know Kram is not around but seriously dude the 1975 are not even in the same universe as AMs
Big shout out to Kramzer!!! Much love to you, all the best and long live the channel.
Kramzer should still appear occasionally like in the fantasy setlist videos. I got the feeling that he wasn't around as much lately.
Love you, Kram! Hoping for a guest spot for Cure or something in the future.
Going to miss Kramzer shaking his head as you two give your rankings
I wonder why Kramzer left. That’s a big loss… I usually found myself agreeing with at least one of you on your opinions of things. Kramzer represented my love for raw and experimental music, for example The Velvet Underground and Animal Collective. I’ll still watch the content but you guys were a Tri-Pod with awesome chemistry
This session had a great flow; with the two of you it just moves faster and more focused, but still plenty of space for different opinions clearly explained. I really like it, the new Siskel & Ebert! We’ll miss Kram, but you have the platform to make snappier, leaner, pin-pointed vids, so lean into it!
I really like the Artic Monkeys, but I’m a Whatever You Think and AM guy…they lost me with the lounge rock stuff. But in truth I haven’t really listened much to Tranquility or The Car…your piece makes we want to check them out, and others I only briefly touched on, like Humbug and Suck It. Got me thinking, so great presentation. Enjoyed it very much. Keep ‘em coming, please! Cheers, JPE
I'm one of the many who unfortunately has only heard AM all the way through, so this was a wake up call to dig deeper. Thanks to Kramzer for all the great snark over the years and thanks to Jason and Joe for continuing the work on one of my favorite channels! Hoping to see Knee Socks or Arabella on the top tens as those are my top tracks by them but also excited to use the top 10s as a jumping off point because unfortunately the way my listening goes even a 7 album discography is a lot to get through
Thank you thank you thank you for adding the stars.
Hard not to notice the subdued air of a video defined as much by who's not there as who is there. But I'm sure that will pass, in time. Jason sums up perfectly how I felt about Arctic Monkeys when they first showed up, so I was never that fussed about them. But it's holiday time, so the perfect opportunity to revisit and reappraise, as I'm so often prompted to do by TLM.
Thanks guys, not a band that i really know at all, other than hearing the first single back in 2006, but i will give them a try as you make them sound very interesting.
while I do love all of the old stuff, I’m glad you boys are standing up for The Car because it was nearly my favorite album of last year
Sad to hear Kramzer’s departure. I tended to side with him on many things, such as Radiohead and U2. He brought a lot of energy to to trio.
Specifically, I was hoping you guys would do a Radiohead concert setlist draft like you did with Zeppelin and Rush. Given Ryan’s enjoyment of Radiohead, his picks would have been cool to see. In addition to Radiohead, I was also holding out for U2 concert setlist draft, but with Jason’s disdain for the group it’s a certainty that ain’t happening now.
When the Arctic Monkeys first came out I was pretty unimpressed by their debut and pretty well ignored them after that. I did listen to The Car last year and liked it so that made me think I could find stuff to enjoy in their discography. It was cool to go through and find some stuff I liked and I definitely have a better opinion of them now than I did before. I still don't really care for that early sound of theirs very much but I will keep my eyes on what they are going to do in the future.
7) AM - 2.5
6) Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not- 3
5) Favourite Worst Nightmare - 3
4) Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino - 3.5
3) The Car - 3.5
2) Humbug - 4
1) Suck It and See - 4
Tons of variety on these lists, which is interesting.
Gonna have to give Tranquility / The Car a second shot, my attention span wouldn’t tolerate them when they came out but I’m hoping my tastes have changed so I can appreciate them more!
Sad that Kramzer has left, but glad to see you guys continue.
First band in a while where I've been familiar with their entire discography. Whatever People Say came out the year I graduated college. I discovered them that year and have watched the band mature and develop over that last 7 years. Each time their sound changes, I've felt initially disappointed, but have since grown to love each album for its own merits. Except perhaps AM. That one's just...ok, for me. My rankings:
7) AM
6) Humbug
5) The Car
4) Suck It And See
3) Tranquility Base
2) Whatever People Say...
1) Favourite Worst Nightmare
1. Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino (2018) 4.5 stars (9)
2. The Car (2022) 4.5 stars (8.7)
3. Humbug (2009) 4 stars (8.4)
4. AM (2013) 4 stars (8.2)
6. Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not (2006) 4 stars (8)
7. Suck It and See (2011) 3.5 stars (7)
8. Favourite Worst Nightmare (2007) 3 stars (6.5)
Good list.
@@JarrettMehldau thank you!
Their debut was definite highlight of 2006, and certainly my soundtrack. As a then twenty -two year-old, the themes were utterly relatable and relevant. The references and the musical atmosphere really did resonate with so many young Brits. It’s a very U.K. centric record, and Alex Turner has never sounded so northern. On subsequent releases, they slowly began to lose that charm. Perhaps they realised it wouldn’t register in America; maybe they didn’t want to be unknowns, stateside, like that other great Sheffield act, Pulp.
I too was 22 in 06. Their first album was fairly big here. It’s not like they were unknowns in the US. Not as mainstream as AM but among the indie kids it was about as big as you can be. -Jason
@@TastesLikeMusic That's interesting to know. I think the difference here in the UK was that they weren't just big with the indie kids, those first two albums were massive full stop. Their first two singles (Dancefloor and When The Sun Goes Down) were the number one songs in the country, you put on an album track from the first album now and everyone still knows every word. In terms of a rock band they were a phenomenon that hadn't been seen since Oasis and certainly hasn't been seen since.
One thing I’ll say about the debut is that you have to be in the mindset to get an extreme rush and positively rage. Otherwise I can understand why it wouldn’t be the experience you’d have liked. Also Riot Van and A Certain Romance is such good songwriting, I’m a little disappointed that Jason doesn’t recognize that.
You didnt say you were going to embark on Prince ? now that would be a deep dive but i feel it needs to be done . Loving the work you do
Prince will be in about a month
@@TastesLikeMusic A month? wow that would be impressive. took me 4 months to do my version . Can i just suggest that you ignore posthumous releases and also ther albums that were digtal only like chocolate invasian and slaughtehouse However you really should do the B sides album from A- and B sides album . a whiole album of B sides that is better than most of the mainstream studio albums ,, Cant wait to hear it all
Two's company, three's a crowd. TLM proved otherwise. Sad for us that Kramzer has gone. Good for him, I hope. I wish him the best and thank him for all the entertainment. I have often wondered how you three manage to carry the workload involved in doing this channel and ever get any sleep, stay sane or even continue to enjoy music. Whether you continue as a duo, recruit someone new or have more guests, I'll continue to watch. Haven't yet watched the whole video. Will do in a while.
"I am on another planet from most people" - that's pretty self-aware, Jason. As much as I enjoy the conviction of your arguments, I find your tastes pretty alien. I know nothing about the Arctic Monkeys, so, in this instance, I've got nothing to compare your tastes to.
Will you ever rank the albums of Van der Graaf Generator???
Not the same without Kramzer. The appeal for me has always been the interaction of different styles and the clashes between the 3 of you.
Kramzer is also by far the funniest . Secretly hoping he'll return one day.
Kramzer was the meanest for sure
@@TastesLikeMusicNo doubt that Kramzer was the wittiest but Joe can be pretty hilarious too. Love ya Joe.
The Car; once I embraced the vocal it came together. Rich moody atmospheric textures, “Not quite where” “Sculptures” funky, crazy clever lyrics, YES
Finally 🙌🏻❤️ AM
So upset to here about Kramzer 😢
Jason and Joe seem a bit sad that Kramzer is gone.
They are sad that Songs Of A Lost World is still not out ! I watched some of the South American shows & Roger was sick his tech filled in on synth.
Arctic Monkeys Albums Ranked:
1. Humbug
2. Favourite Worst Nightmare
3. Suck It And See

5. The Car
6. Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not
7. AM
Dear Ole Sheffield: You’ve given me Heaven 17, ABC, The Human League, Pulp, Def Leppard, and The Full Monty. High expectations & overflowing nostalgia, so where shall we go from here? This band was a tiny blip on my sonar. “Stella” was still diving down, down, down there under the sea, and Alex Turner’s Yorkshire Yelp in “I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor” was GRATING to me at the time.
Hadn’t I heard all of the post-punk/garage rock/dance punk revival bands that I needed to listen to already?!
Better ones? 🤔
In the same breath, It also makes no sense that I hadn’t paid attention to this band before, considering some of the similarities to their 00s contemporaries.
I really think it was Alex’s (feral tomcat) ‘06 vocals that put me off. All I could think of were stale pints, punches to the face, and other unsavory lad acts. (What was so different about Kele Okereke’s sing-shout?! I was instantly smitten by Bloc Party’s Silent Alarm and their live performance in Atlanta, GA just one year earlier!)
I went into this discography skeptical but eagerly anticipated something. It happened. There were moments when I was swept away by a catchy, feverish, and malicious current. At other times, the overly polished/produced sound just didn’t match up with the lyrics and Alex’s snark. There’s clearly something mystifying (and darkly humorous) in the polluted water of the River Sheaf. Other bands in a similar vein/era appeal to me more, but I still somewhat enjoyed myself. Alex’s lyrics, changes in vocal style and stage crawling antics kept me interested, but there was no real “click”.
Hi Michele - You forgot The Comsat Angels ..My favorite Sheffield band.They gave Depeche Mode their first gig & as you know Martin returned the favor years later covering Gone. Stream Sleep No More & Fiction ..incredible albums. Have an excellent weekend 🌞 !
@@davidellis5141 Sheffield has spawned some fantastic musicians. I could’ve named many more!
“Gone” is a dark delight and I love everything about it.
Hope you have a warm & happy weekend.
@@michelewiese48 Thanks & the only omission I noticed was Cabaret Voltaire .. Microphonies is an amazing album with Sensoria on it. Ferris has a poster of it in the film 😆 🤣
@@davidellis5141 Ferris was a badass, and a righteous
dude 🤣
Should’ve also mentioned Moloko/Roison Murphy (have you heard the Jessie Ware/Roison Murphy remix of “Freak Me Now” - what a chic & effortless groove!)
Also, I Monster, Richard Hawley, and Joe Cocker’s “You Can Leave Your Hat On” Mickey Rourke digs it too. 👒 😜
@michelewiese48 I will listen to Moloko & The City Never Sleeps is my favorite Eurythmics song. Fortunately , I knew it before the 9 & a half weeks film which is a stylish film but not truly bad enough to watch repeatedly ..the one in Las Vegas with Elizabeth Berkley Showgirls I will watch anytime ! Great pool scene with Kyle Mclaughlin ( SP ) 😆 🤣
In the UK "favorite worst nightmare" was hailed as brilliant by nearly everyone. it was humbug where a lot of people started questioning the band a bit. (Not me, i love Humbug)
I remember seeing two completely separate "metal" guys on the yootoobs talking about the debut album, "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not," a couple of years ago. Then it just so happened that it was listed for sale that same week on one of those buy-a-second-disc-for-the-same-shipping-cost sellers, so kismet told that it would be my 2nd disc. It was not meant to be.
It has some interesting moments, and I can see how someone for Sheffield might love it, cuz it's very British, but it wasn't my cup of tea. Ta.
The Comsat Angels are from Sheffield & they are one of my favorite bands. Cabaret Voltaire as well.
One of the first bands I fell in love with, and while I wish The Killers had won, I'm still glad to see you guys covering newer music. If only the dude who was preaching for that was still here...
Only bands who were active prior to 1980 from now on!
Its always fascinated me that there is a certain type of british band/sound that doesnt travel to the states well.
3 biggest bands of my youth were oasis, libertines (for short period) and arctic monkeys.
Alto the Monkeys QOTSA vibe albums did well, the early two albums along with The Libertines debut and Oasis first 2 albums soundtracked so much of youth culture over those 10-15 years.
Yet Americans never vibed with it.
Wonder what the American equivalant is?
Not really a fan of this band, except for AM and a few select songs. I wish I liked this band more than I actually do. I will admit that Alex Turner is a very good lyricist, but the actual music often doesn't impress me, and I prioritise music over lyrics. I will also say that even on the album I don't care for, they always have a few good songs on them.
My ranking would be:
1. AM - 4.5/5
2. Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not - 3.5/5
3. Favourite Worst Nightmare - 3/5
4. Suck It and See - 3/5
5. Tranquillity Base Hotel & Casino - 2.5/5
6. The Car - 2/5
7. Humbug - 1.5/5
Humbug is an incredible album. The band found themselves & its sonically perfect.
They found themselves by sounding like a bunch of other people… sure. - Joe
@TastesLikeMusic That's Right ✅️ ... Echo & The Bunnymen summed it up best in their song Crocodiles .. " Met Someone Just The Other Day ..I Said Hey What You Doing Today ? I'm Going To Do It Tomorrow " 🎸
Joe embracing phrase “Suck it and See” curious 😂
Well, I guess that eliminates any chance of the two you guys doing any more pop discographies. Had hoped for maybe New Order or Pet Shop Boys.
Every cloud...
Those are still in our wheelhouse
@nikosvault Those are two absolute favorites of mine. New Order was a choice in a Patreon poll recently, but Paul Simon won out. Hoping both of these artists have their day. They are two of the most important and influential synth-pop bands of all time!
I haven't listened to too much of this band. In my mind I had Arctic Monkeys and Rogue Wave on the same tier. But I just checked and AM have around 50M "monthly listeners" on Spotify while RW are only at 664K. Had no idea AM was 75x more popular than RW. Incidentally, Killers are at 22M, Kings of Leon are at 16M, and Spoon are at only 1.6M -- truly surprised. White Rabbits are only at 34K... Not that any of this speaks to the quality of their art, but I'm thinking it speaks to notoriety at least.
First 4 Rogue Wave albums all better than anything Arctic Monkeys have ever done. The comparison is hilarious though. Guess you just missed AM getting absolutely massive. -Jason
@@TastesLikeMusicOHEMGEE... I am so triggered! :)
Not a huge fan of the AM, but enjoyed the Car. There was a load of stuff like that at the time and as you said,, seemed like a hype train.
I knew The Car before doing this and a few singles. I enjoyed most of it, although the earlier albums were a bit too samey overall. I love how they have changed over the years; I can see why one would have them among their favourite artists. Pretty good band.
4,5 Stars:
1. The Car
2. Tranquility Base Casino + Hotel
3. Suck It and See
4 Stars:
4. Favourite Worst Nightmare
3,5 Stars:
5. AM
6. Humbug
3 Stars:
7. Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not
Interesting that Joe appreciated I bet that you look good on the dance floor so late. To me it was instantly a classic and clearly the best indie rocker of the year it came out, maybe even of the decade. Yes, they were overhyped and that can rub you the wrong way, maybe that was the case with both of you. I think they were indeed an outstanding and exciting band back then and deserved the attention.
Wanted to say he will be missed; thought he was an interesting and comical part of the trio, each of you complimenting the other with a different vibe. I wish Mr Kramz well…
Not upser with Kramzer leaving, he did have my favorite ELO album, saying Gary Brooker wa not a good vocalist was insane.
I loved "Dancefloor" when it came out, so fresh and energetic, but the album disappointed me...initially. However, I have stuck with the band and enjoy their records bar one. Alex Turner is a clever guy, clever enough to know that Richard Hawley should have won the Mercury Prize in 2006! My ranking:
1. My Favourite Worst Nightmare
2. Suck it and See
3. Whatever People say....
4. AM
5. Humbug
6. The Car
7. Tranquility Base...
It might be sacrilege but my favourite album featuring Mr Turner is The last Shadow Puppet's "The Age of the Understatement". So beautiful.
Not sacrilege at all, the puppets are great.
Sorry to be a pedant Joe but it’s Brianstorm not Brainstorm (that was Hawkwind). If Kramzer is not here anymore we will have to be the Kramzer 😃
What are your opinions on clicktrack drums?
As in drums recorded to a click track? Generally, not a fan.
I've discovered a couple of things this week in my Arctic Monkeys dive. First, the one constant is that they, maybe more than anyone else I can think of right now, so often sound like other people. Sometimes, it's obvious who and at other times they wear their patchwork of influences so slyly, it gives me a mental itch. Best not to scratch too hard, and just enjoy.
Second, if I had been 22 or younger in 2006, my opinion of their first three albums might well be very different. But I wasn't, so it isn't. For me, nothing there struggles free of the British indie straitjacket and I honestly feel no need to hear those albums ever again. The first signs of daring to be dreamy appear on Suck It And See, bide their time throughout the somewhat darker detour of AM, before emerging fully on Tranquility Base & Casino and The Car, each with its own distinctive palette.
For me, there's a hair's width between Tranquility Base - or, as I like to think of it, Aladdin Insane and the Quaalude Phantoms of the Glam Cabaret - and The Car for the top spot. Is The Car lounge music? Well, yes, but it's the Scott Walker lounge with micro-dosed martinis and chilled shades, so I'll happily drift into dreams there as long as you keep topping up my drink.
Never would have thought, listening to the Arctic Monkeys of 2006-09, that we'd end up with those two albums. But we have and they're two of the best I've heard in a long time. Probably not a popular view. But, then, I wasn't 22 or younger in 2006.
7. Favourite Worst Nightmare

1. The Car
I don’t entirely agree with you, but we share some similar sentiments about this band. I enjoyed reading this. 👏 🍸
@@michelewiese48 Oh, I very often don't entirely agree with me. But you know how it goes, you start writing stuff and the next thing you know, you've committed to an opinion. That kind of thing can get you in trouble. Glad you enjoyed the read. I'm presently very much enjoying Tranquility Base and The Car as a Christmas present to myself, courtesy of those helpful people at TLM. 🙂
@@bgbe7119Ha. Yes, it’s easy to get lost in the narrative. 🎄🎅🎁
I used to absolutely hate AM, might try it again
Agree almost completely with Joe, except for The Car being number 1.
I dont usually agree with Kram’s opinions- usually, I’m most in line with Joe’s takes… yet, I miss seeing Kram on the show. Any way of getting him back? I’m wondering what happened- life’s too short for fighting (long term)
We’re not fighting. He decided to step away to commit more time to other things in his life. -Jason
Only Olivia Rodrigo knows how to get him back
My all time favourite artists.
I’d go:
WPSIAM
Tranquility Base
Humbug
SIAS
FWN
AM
The Car (although has 3 tracks in my top 10)
Now that Kramz is gone are you going to review Styx? Equinox and Cornerstone are great, and Pieces of Eight is a guilty pleasure.

You never talk about Rock Progressivo Italiano. Will you ever rank the albums of Banco del Mutuo Soccorso?
Prolly not
I love how you guys honored Kramzer by overrating the most boring Arctic Monkeys album to date
See? Told you Kramzer was just an AI generated figure; Joe and Jason just had an AI that had a limited 3 yr old usage time window lol 😝
hi guys, i'll stick with you despite Kramzer departure, nothing is forever, things happen in life. I'm sure you'll do fine, you've always got the chance to add someone else in the future, it's up to you. I personally like Jason as a person, who is not mentioned in the comments below, could he be considered the George Harrison of the situation? the quiet one
Jason my dude, adore you. We literally get top and bottom 3 reversed. I'm truly anticipating the moment where our lists would be absolute opposite. 🤣
Hey, that means we have the same #4. Look at us.
@@TastesLikeMusic same & contrary simultaneously. Depends on which angle you look ;)
Jason is obviously Evil Spock from the Mirror Universe. Even has the goatee and everything!
I also loved the Car and didn't understand all the hate
1. Humbug 4.0
2. Suck it and See 3.5
3. AM 3.5
4. Favourite Worst Nightmare 3.5
5. Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not 3.0

C’mon Debbie! - Joe
good list we seem to agree on the bottom two 💜💜
@@TastesLikeMusicDo you like my list? 🤣

My list is actually the reverse of Jason's😆😆
Knew there would be someone!
You and the rest of humanity. Then there is the alien known as Jason. :)
Humbug is my favorite, but really like the last 2 albums.
Tranquility Base is one track short of a perfect record for me. Just don't dig Ultracheese at all. Doesn't flow with the previous tracks. The other tracks are at worst 4/5 with fantastic tracks like 4 out of 5, the stellar Golden Trunks, title track, Science Fiction and the exquisite Star Treatment.
7. The Car (2022) 2.5/5

1. AM (2013) 4/5
Side note.
Most of my favorite songs from the debut. However, as an album I would rather listen to AM, so I switched their places at the last moment.
I had a couple of high school friends who were really into Arctic Monkeys around when Suck It and See came out, but I never became I huge fan. I do like their first two punkier indie rock albums, but don't care too much about their music after those two.

Nice. Pretty close to mine.
@@RostyslavLogachov Yeah, I guess the main difference is AM. And while I prefer the less polished sound of their first two, it's easy to see why people like it, and it is basically the last decade's (What's the Story) Morning Glory? or Is This It.
I only know Whatever people say..., and it would definitely be in my all time Top50 list should I ever make one. As mentioned by Joe there was a lot of hyping of guitar-based Indie-bands going on back then but this was one of the few bands that really kicked ass. At least mine. I heard their second albumg like two times, found it was ok but lost interest after that.
Love you guys but don't know how in gods name you can have The Car this high
Joe and I see eye to eye on so little. Clearly we’re right about this.
Jason seems kind of down about Kramzer leaving, Joe not so much. Humbug is amazingly good and contains a contender for their best track in Cornerstone. Amazed Joe has it at the bottom of his list. Already missing the Kramman.
Joe just hides it better. Jason wears his emotions on his sleeve. Yes, they are low on the overall Richter scale of human emoting, but when he does feel, everyone gets to watch him bleed.
Uhhh…what?
@@TastesLikeMusic Your emotional displays speak volumes precisely because they are so restrained. A pursing of the lips, a momentary frown, an earned smile... these small gestures mean more than the emoting of someone who is more casual and free with their emotional displays.
That'll be $125 for the armchair psychology session.
@@crowfeedreactionsYou can find the dumbest people on youtube comments. Thanks for the laugh
The channel will definitely be different without Kram. It's too bad he didn't say goodbye in a video
He’s been known to post in the comments using his personal YT account. Maybe he will drop in eventually.
Why no goodbye video from kramzer
He didn’t want to make one
Maybe The Car deserves more listening.
Is it just me or does the lead singer sound just like the guy from The Fratellis?
Kram i am disappointed in you. These are your brothers. You will miss them when they are gone. Hopefully you will never know that pain. I was usually is step with your takes. Please reconsider
Hard to say but I think i’d go

1. Whatever People Say I Am
I am super into the 2000s british indie rock / garage rock rival scene and imo Whatever People Say I Am is easily one of the best albums of that sound. Not the best tho cuz I think I gotta give that to Bloc Party’s Silent Alarm
“Somebody’s gotta suffer and it’s usually the bass player.” For the ages.
I used to be one - Joe
I am. -Jason
WPSIAM is phenomenal! It’s very British and to say ‘nothing interesting’ going on is criminal
Would love to know why Kram really bailed. Hope he pops in from time to time
Not enough time to listen to everything. He was overwhelmed.
@@TastesLikeMusic Makes sense. You guys listen to a lot. Thanks for keeping up the good fight!
@@TastesLikeMusic Makes sense. Even harder to do when you distinctly don't like the music you're listening to. Like, if I had an assignment to listen to every Tom Waits album, I'd be sure to rid my place of all sharp objects and flammable substances beforehand. Some discographies just don't deserve more than the occasional side-eye.
1) Suck it and see - 3 stars
2) Favourite Worst Nightmare - 2.5 stars
3) Humbug - 2.5 stars
4) AM - 2.5 stars
5) The Car - 2 stars
6) Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino - 2 stars
7) Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not - 1.5 stars
I blame Sigur Ros!
I'm very sad today.
As much as I disagreed with Kramz, he will be missed. So, time for a new-Kramz! Maybe one that is funny but not such a hater. Three opinions are always good to have.
Haters are more interesting than people who like everything. It's the difference between Cherries Jubilee and a Dairy Queen Blizzard.
@@crowfeedreactions Heh?
who's up next after deep dive and year end?
Nine inch Nails, Paul Simon, Jethro Tull
Are you including the paul simon songbook?@@TastesLikeMusic
@anthonybernard3689 haven’t decided yet.
@@TastesLikeMusic Kramzer was the main NIN stan, so that won’t be good news for how well they fare.
@@echosmyron1278 One gets the feeling that Jason loathes NIN with the heat of a thousand suns. Just a wild guess.
I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor is one of the best British rock and roll records of all time!
You know Britain existed in the 60’s and 70’s right?
@@TastesLikeMusic Lies
@@TastesLikeMusic I know, I know… but this was a great one for the 2000s. And it really captures British working class culture very well.
NME said it was "the perfect encapsulation of what it is to be young, pissed, lusty, angry and skint in modern day Britain." It’s also just very exciting.
Pretty enjoyable discography overall
1. Whatever People Say I Am... - 4.5
2. Humbug - 4.5
3. Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino - 4
4. Favourite Worst Nightmare -3.5
5. AM - 3.5
6. The Car - 3
7.Suck it and See - 3
Having Humbug at 4.5. That’s wild. - Joe
It's a wild list fo sho
@@TastesLikeMusic I think it's a cool album. Really like "My Propeller" and "Crying Lightning". It really has the Homme influence, where it almost sounds like a cross between QotSA and what they would do on AM.
@@TastesLikeMusic Most of these were new to me too -- I'd only heard the first two and The Car going into this.
@@179rich I don't think it's too wild other than having Favorite Worst Nightmare low. Otherwise the ranking is pretty much the consensus on RYM.
PLEASE...JOE JACKSON
