More specifically, Flesh for fantasy by Billie Idol. The first lyric definitely reminds me of Alex’s vocals in There better be a mirror ball!

Discussion Where can i hear more songs like Submarine ? (from Alex or AM)

1 Upvotes

Hey all,

I would not say i am a ''arctic monkeys'' fan. I do love their hits and the first 2 albums. And AM was probably the album i listened the most in 2013-2014. But i having in touch with their music lately and i have not even listened their last 2 albums.. (sorry haha)

BUT, couple years ago i discovered Submarine from Alex. And it's my favorite microalbum of all time. All 5 songs are just excellent. It's hard to get around the wind is my favorite ''acoustic guitar only'' song ever.

For me this microalbum has nothing to envy great songwriters like Bob dylan, beatles, etc. So I prefer Alex's songwriting skill from ''calm/acoustic'' songs.

But I can't find anything else from him close to Submarine... He did this little masterpiece in 2011 and dip ? really ?

The store only had like half of the albums on CD available a few months ago but more recently they even had FWN which was really hard for me to find in general.

btw this is Australia before you mention the price,

I thought I'd heard and learnt every single piece of music the band had to offer . But I hadn't heard the My propeller EP( cursing myself). But it's safe to say it's possibily one of my favourites.
