Episode 186 - Humbug by Arctic Monkeys (Side B)

<p class="" data-pm-slice="0 0 []">Alright, so in the grand scheme of things, <em>Humbug</em> by the Arctic Monkeys isn’t exactly bereft of plays on the ol’ streaming platforms. Hell, it still sold a lot of physical copies too. However, in comparison to the rest of their discography? It’s certainly one of the albums that has shown the least love.</p> <p class="">It did have some big-ish singles of course, but nothing on the scale of some of the others. The closest to <em>Humbug</em> is their 2018 album (and latest release at time of recording) <em>Tranquillity Base Hotel & Casino</em>. Which, yeah, probably asks more of their fans than any previous release. Why do we bring this up? Well, cause we talk about that album as well as <em>Humbug</em> on this episode. Foreshadowing n that, eh?</p> <p class="">Anyway, we go deep on <em>Humbug</em> this week, and also have some very nice, very fun nexus (nexi? nexae?) for y’all this week before Dave decides that he will be taking us in a very different direction next week. You’ll need to tune in to find out what that direction is though…</p> <p class="">Is <em>Humbug</em> an unsung classic? Make your voice heard by voting on our twitter poll below.</p>
