The Big Mates discuss Robot Wars, bingo, innuendo, and Favourite Worst Nightmare by Arctic Monkeys.
Adam, Steve, and Lucas continue their discussion of the band's second album, going track-by-track to provide analysis and opinion.
They talk about rhythmic expansion, holiday word games, pedal steel guitar, crazy parties, face coverings, tense relationships, and break ups as 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!
How horny is the album? Why does Adam hate Fluorescent Adolescent? How berserk is this house, exactly? Find out on this episode of What Is Music?
Our next episode is out next week, Monday July 28th, and will conclude the deep-dive into Favourite Worst Nightmare!
