Tranquility base Hotel and Casino is the latest album released by The Arctic Monkeys. It was released on May the 11th 2018 under the same record company, Domino. It is of note as it represents a drastic difference and change in the band; both in terms of the musical arrangement and style and in the cosmetic and physical appearance of the band members themselves.
In my opinion, this album harks back to such albums as Sgt. Peppers lonely hearts club band or when Dylan went electric at the Newport folk festival in 1965. This is due to the all round difference in style and the fact that the albums or events in question will be forever remembered. Furthermore, like Sgt. Peppers's and Dylan's electric fiasco, the music within is, or at least initially was, very divisive to lifetime fans and new fans alike. After my brother playing me the entire album on Vinyl I was not fully convinced; if anything I was indifferent, but after giving it time and multiple chances on my many journeys to work, I think I like it. My girlfriend and I also were discussing it just last weekend and she said the same thing; being that it requires a lot of chances before it becomes enjoyable.
Therefore, the album is very unique and interesting and is definitely worth trying if you have not yet attempted to listen to it. My advice would be to give it a chance and I would recommend three or more times to allow it to fully penetrate your mind. You wont regret giving it a try.
Cheers again and stay lucky everyone
