Arctic Monkeys' AM is a seductive, dark album that marks a bold evolution in their sound. Shifting from indie to psychedelic rock, the band crafts a hypnotic mix of thick grooves, fuzzed-out basslines, and paranoid, haunting atmospheres. Tracks like "Why Do You Only Call Me When You’re High?" and "R U Mine?" deliver a sinister vibe, with Alex Turner's possessed voice adding an eerie intensity. With a mix of Motown, G-Funk, and Velvet Underground influences, AM is a seductive, thrilling masterpiece that’s darker, sexier, and more captivating than anything the band has done before. Play it late at night—and keep your guard up.
