There was only so long that they could keep writing that same song over and over.
The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong in the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.

hmm, that cover reminds me of the artist who does Okkervil River's artwork.

This is probably another example of my wildly different taste in music than most of the people here, but this album really is fucking great.  Great songs, a lot more mature than their first album, and lots of experimentation with different instruments and sounds, without ever getting weird for the sake of weird.

Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

Yeah its pretty good but ambivalence avenue was gold. there are a couple times on this new one where i'm going "Wtf is he doing here?" not in a good way.

yea there is this random power rock song in the middle of the album that sticks out like a sore thumb. i find myself humming it now and again, it's catchy as hell. ambivalence avenue was better but how do you follow up such a classic album? this one is still really good.

I think he's touring with some surf band as well.

Not really into Arctic Monkeys but I like this (soundtrack by singer Alex Turner).
