The Car (Pt. 2)

The Big Mates discuss Arrested Development, cowboys, J.W. Pepper, and The Car 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 seventh studio 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, where the band could possibly go from here, and how they wrapped up their most recent tour.

What do we make of the album? Is it the end of Arctic Monkeys? What is the Benidorm lasagne vending machine? Find out on this episode of What Is Music?

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