On this review I will be reviewing the new Arctic Monkeys album which was released on the 11th May 2018. It's the new Arctic Monkeys album their sixth studio album called "Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino".

Arctic Monkeys are a British band from Sheffield who I grew up listening to through my childhood. The band consists of four members. The lead singer 'Alex Turner', The drummer 'Matt Helders', The guitarist 'Jamie Cook', and the bass guitarist 'Nick O'Malley'. Arctic Monekys are my third favourite band. I have loved their music since their groundbreaking debut album "Whatever People Say I Am That's What I'm Not" which is my favourite album from them. It was the start of their careers. From that album I love the tracks "When The Sun Goes Down", "I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor", "Fake Tales Of San Francisco" and many more. Arctic Monkeys have always been an indie-rock band mixed with garage rock and bit of post-punk. Discussing about their discography 'Arctic Monkeys' have released six studio albums. Starting with their debut album "Whatever People Say I am That's What I'm Not". A great debut album. With hard rock, Indie rock. It has some great lyrics. And great tracks such as "When The Sun Goes Down", "Fake Tales Of San Francisco", "I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor" and many more. It's my favourite album from them. Their second studio album "Favourite Worst Nightmare" Most fans would say it's the band second best album. It's another strong album like their debut. I liked their second album I love the tracks "D Is For Dangerous", "Flourescent Adolescent", "Do Me A Favour" and many more. It's a good album very strong like their debut. Their third studio album "Humbug" is my second favourite from them I think this album is underrated it's such a different record like the other two. I enjoyed how this album has some desert rock and bit of calm rock. I loved the tracks "Crying Lightning", "Fire And The Thud", "Cornerstone" and many more. Their fourth studio album "Suck It And See" it's okay not the best I would say it's my least favourite. Their fifth studio album "AM" is my third favourite from them. It's such a great album I personally think it's better than "Suck It And See" the song "Arabella" is amazing. Amazing guitar riffs lyrics and production. Which brings us to their new album "Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino" since hearing their new album what did I think of it? I loved the new sound on the new album it sounds spacey with space pop. It feels like I am in space listening to a few tracks that has space pop. It's a great album I dont understand why some fans did not like it. I guess it takes more listens for it to grow.

My favourite tracks on the album starting with "Star Treatment" which is the first track on the album. This track is absolutely amazing. It sounds like alternative rock from the 70s. It's a great track. "American Sports" it's another good track quite underrated but it sounds decent. I loved Alex's lyrics on this track. "Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino" I loved Alex's lyrics. The track is about a hotel which Alex made a reference by singing "Hello Mark Speaking Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino". "Four Out Of Five" another space pop track on the album which is about giving how many ratings out of 5. "She Looks Like Fun"is a decent track it's more of a pop rock on this track. My least favourite track was "The World's First Ever Monster Truck Flip". It's alright but not the best track on the album.

Overall I enjoyed "Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino". It was a good album. I do see myself going back to this album. I thought it was good. It's a 7/10.
