The Big Mates discuss moon firsts, flesh worlds, word symmetry, and Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino by Arctic Monkeys.

Adam, Steve, and Lucas continue their exploration of the career of Arctic Monkeys and conclude their track-by-track analysis of their sixth album.

They explore the composition, tone, lyrics, meaning, and context for each song in turn - all from three differing perspectives, from being deeply into music and analysis, to not caring for art or critique, and everything in between!

They also look at the legacy of the album, the success of the album, and how it split the fanbase upon arrival.

What do we think of the album? Did Alex Turner predict the 2020 pandemic? Will Adam’s prediction hold true? Find out on this episode of What Is Music?

Our next episode is out next week, Monday February 23rd!
