MÚSICA | Novo álbum do Arctic Monkeys já está entre nós!
DEPOIS DE SÉCULOS OS ARCTIC MONKEYS ESTÃO DE VOLTA!
Desde o lançamento do álbum AM (2013) o Arctic Monkeys não lançava nada. Os anos passaram, os projetos solos avançaram e nada do grupo britânico voltar à ativa. Até que 2017, mais especificamente o meio de 2017, chegou e os boatos do possível retorno foram surgindo com cada vez mais força. Após alguns shows anunciados entre o fim de 2017 e o começo de 2018, a banda anunciou o lançamento do sexto álbum de estúdio. CHAMPIONS LEAGUE | FINAL ENTRE LIVERPOOL E REAL MADRID TERÁ SHOW DE DUA LIPA! Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino acabou de ser lançado e é diferente de tudo que os Arctic Monkeys já produziram em toda a existência da banda. É muito bom e cheio de conceitos, o que pode torná-lo difícil de agradar ao passo que deve agradar aos fãs de paladar mais apurado. O álbum é todo feito sob a influência de clássicos do cinema distópico como No Mundo de 2020 (de 1973), 1984 (1984) e 2001: Uma Odisseia no Espaço (1968). Abaixo trago a minha famosa breve review sobre o álbum:-
Star Treatment:
“I just wanted to be one of The Strokes Now look at the mess you made me make Hitchhiking with a monogrammed suitcase Miles away from any half-useful imaginary highway I’m a big name in deep space Ask your mates but golden boy’s in bad shape I found out the hard way that here ain’t no place for dolls like you and me Everybody’s on a barge floating down the endless stream of great TV 1984, 2019.”
-
One Point Perspective:
“Just as the apocalypse finally gets prioritized And you cry some of the hottest tears you ever cried Multiplied by five I suppose a singer must die.”
-
American Sports:
“And I never thought, not in a million year That I’d meet so many Lola’s Can I please have my money back? My virtual reality mask is stuck on ‘Parliament Brawl’ Emergency battery pack just in time for my weekly chat with God on videocall.”
-
Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino:
“Good afternoon Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino Mark speaking Please tell me how may I direct your call?.”
-
Golden Trunks:
“The leader of the free world reminds you of a wrestler wearing tight golden trunks He’s got himself a theme tune They play it for him as he makes his way to the ring
And in response to what you whispered in my ear I must admit sometimes I fantasize about you too.”
-
Four Out Of Five:
“Take it easy for a little while Come and stay with us It’s such an easy flight Cute new places keep on popping up Since the exodus it’s all getting gentrified I put a taqueria on the roof It was well reviewed Four stars out of five And that’s unheard of.”
-
The World’s First Ever Monster Truck Front Flip:
“You and Lizzy in the summertime Wrapping my tiny mind around a lullaby
There are things that I just cannot explain to you And those that I hope I don’t ever have to.”
-
Science Fiction:
“Religious iconography giving you the creeps? I feel rougher than a disco lizard tongue along your cheek The rise of the machines I must admit you gave me something momentarily In which I could believe But the hand of harsh reality’s un-gloved And it’s on its way back in to scoop you up But not on my watch.”
-
She Looks Like Fun:
“Smile like you’ve got a straw in something tropical I’ve got the party plugged right into my skull Wayne Manor, what a memorable N.Y.E
(She looks like fun) Good morning (She looks like fun) Cheeseburger (She looks like fun) Snowboarding.”
-
Batphone:
“I’ve recognized the glow of your low beams numerous times I’ll be by the Batphone if you need to get a hold Making a selection Opening credits roll Panoramic windows looking out across your soul.”
-
The Ultracheese:
Ouça abaixo:“Still got pictures of friends on the wall Suppose we aren’t really friends anymore Maybe I shouldn’t ever have called that thing friendly at all Get freaked out from a knock at the door When I haven’t been expecting one Didn’t that used to be part of the fun, once upon a time? We’ll be there at the back of the bar In a booth like we usually were Every time there was a rocket launch or some big event.”
De forma geral eu amei muito o álbum. Sua sonoridade, criatividade e inovação me trouxeram sentimentos indescritíveis. Além disso, o uso das distopias me fez colocar a mente em prática novamente para pensar nos excessos que temos para com algumas coisas. A busca pelo real sentido de alternativo e indie fica explícita já que não há nenhum hit ou foi feito para se destacar no mainstream. É um álbum bem feito, calculado e sincero. Não sei nem qual é a minha música favorita. Genial, Alex Turner. Genial, Arctic Monkeys.Observação: as letras e algumas bases para explicação foram retiradas do site Genius.
