MacDonals Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 (edited) New Arctic Monkeys album, supposedly kinda funky? Curious to see what variants will exist. So far, I've seen two below: Tracklisting Side A 1. There'd Better Be A Mirrorball 2. I Ain't Quite Where I Think I Am 3. Sculptures Of Anything Goes 4. Jet Skis On The Moat 5. Body Paint Side B 6. The Car 7. Big Ideas 8. Hello You 9. Mr Schwartz 10. Perfect Sense Gray (aka Deluxe) Black Custard (Indie?)

obliriovrons Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I think that's it for the time being, yeah, in addition to the standard black. Gray, as the deluxe, has a tip-on mounted artwork sleeve while the others have a spot gloss cover image. Wouldn't anticipate much more than this as they've not done much for variants in the past, but who knows. I think Tranquility Base had the clear, the silver, and then they did the gold at the release day pop ups. I'd really love to get the custard but I've maintained getting the deluxe version of Alex Turner's output since AM onwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDonals Posted August 24, 2022 Author Share Posted August 24, 2022 I went with the Custard. Huge fan, and the import was about $42 including upgraded shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zuck Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Finally. I was just wondering the other day when they would put out a new album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onandonandon Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Very interested to hear a single or snippet of the album. While I like Tranquility Base, I am curious where they go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I like Tranquility Base, I am curious where they go from there. Tuesday seems to be the rumored date for a single, we'll see how that pans out. A lot of rumors panned out with the release date and today being the day the announcement would drop, so we'll see. They also played a new song (which is apparently not the single) for the first time at yesterday's show, so presumably if they play it at the big fests they're doing this weekend, some good stream recordings will make their way online.

colbourne25 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Album pre order drop without a lead single... yeh, there's usually a reason bands/their management decide to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably right. This'll end up just being ten tracks of different sounds a car makes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBarry Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I wanted to wait for a single but I decided to say screw it and got the gray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I am a tiny bit nervous here. Ultimately, I decided to pre-order because at this point, I don't think there's much that Arctic Monkeys could do to alienate me. TBHC was as abrupt of a sea change as I could endure and in truth, I ended up loving it after I got over my mourning period of it not being AM2. I'm all in on the Monkeys and I hope they didn't hold back the lead single because it stinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW1910 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 wasn't there not a lead single for TBHC as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case, I think they were trying to not scare everyone off as TBHC was about as sharp a left turn from AM as they could've taken. In this case, there will be a lead single & video in a matter of, like, four days. I honestly think announcing the album with the single coming a week later is just because they're a big enough band to get two different news cycles out of that. Just good marketing.
