10 years of AM | Arctic Monkeys - AM

On this episode of Vinyl Verdict, Bell, Jamie and Plouffe listen to Plouffe's next pick, Arctic Monkey's "AM". Their fifth studio album, it was released in September 2013, and the album was an immediate hit for the band. Six singles were release from the album, with most of them charting well in both UK, where the Arctic Monkeys are based, and internationally. "AM" has remained on the charts in countries such as Australia, Denmark and the Netherlands in the ten years since release, a huge feat. The album won the 2014 Brit Award for British Album of the Year, and the single Do I Wanna Know? was nominated for Best Rock Performance at the 57th Grammy Awards. Reviews were kind to the album both at the time and retrospectively. The New Musical Express (NME) named it the 449th of the 500 greatest albums of all time, after the album had only been out for a month, and Rolling Stone named it the 346th of the 500 greatest albums of all time on their updated 2020 list.
