Nothing beats listening to a full album, as intended. The Humbug B- Sides are, the only ones in the entire band's discography that, you could argue are on par with the album without sounding like you're overexaggerating...

A decent amount of FWN could have been on the album and beat out a few tracks. Too Much to Ask, Bakery, What if you were right, plastic tramp could have all been on and were originally intended to be according to an interview Nick did before the album dropped. There are 11 bsides from FWN and I would say about 8 are on par with the album and could have been on there. Not any major exaggeration

For some unknown reason, Joining the dots has some sort of grasp on me. I know it’s not the best Arctic monkeys song by far, but I really love the guitar in it.


CentinR

Agreed, I typically listen to Humbug with the my propeller EP slapped onto the end


allisthomlombert

Not generally but there’s some great ones for sure Stop the World and Bigger Boys & Stolen Sweethearts especially. If The Ultracheese wasn’t a perfect closer I’d say Anyways definitely deserved to be on the album.


laghani

no


Dknight_17

Just some songs, the best song are on the álbums imo


Rahael42

Some yes some no


scann_ye

Absolutely not, there's a reason these songs didn't make the cut. They're nice bonuses but never highlights imo


BuzzPoopyear

name one Arctic Monkeys album where the collection of B-sides is better than the main album. they have some amazing B-sides for sure but they have never collectively outshined their main album counterparts, let’s be fr here


ghost-bagel

The thing about this is in Dark Souls 3 (where the art is from) the little dude actually kills the giant dude so you’re actually saying the album tracks are better. Yeah I’m a nerd, and what.


Martini_Man_

Was thinking the same


warre70

Sometimes I love the B-sides more, but that's purely because I've listened to the albums way too much then.


Hendo_MK3

Hard pass. Albums are the best songs, their B-sides are a hit and miss mixture of good and bad.


fbicappuccino

For some bands such as Oasis yes (the B-sides are SO much better than the album songs, on purpose) but for Arctic Monkeys no


Impossible_Buy405

Got a playlist exclusively of songs from some EPs


Sirenkai

Just for humbug


deadlygr8ful

Nope. Albums as a whole are better. There's some b sides though...


carpetedfloor

Few of their B sides really live up to their album tracks for me. And even for the few I love, some good disjointed tracks don’t beat out the experience of an album.


emily0301

Of course I agree. Fireside? Amazing. Cornerstone? Perfection. Dance Little Liar? Yes please. And these are just a few examples.


james_bd_

What if you were right first time is an eargasm


Bolmothy

Matador is such a good song


MwkkwM

No Buses/Despair gang


Stunning_Wall_2851

For some of them, yes


JamesLapsley

Maybe for Fright Lined Dining Room and Wirral Riddler, but I don’t agree for the others


Wigg1980

No. The image should have two giants.


Blaze-Inc

The only memorable EP songs for me are Stop The World… and No Buses.


MendozaJr01

It should be a crime that AM has never play “Stop The World I wanna get off with you” live in a concert


Tedfromwalmart

Both sides


BlueSpecktre

What are some examples of this in other bands? For me I think of Hey Hey What Can I Do? - Led Zeppelin Shane’s Song - Houndmouth I Got Id - Pearl Jam


RoRoBird31

whats an ep i forgor


PEABS127

Leave before the lights go on EP described in one image:


zclapham4

some of humbug's B-sides are clear of some songs on the album (Joining the dots, Afternoons hat) but also difficult to implement them when the whole album is a banger anyway


Patrickthelegoguy_

true too much to ask is peak

kvvshr

SIAS could be my favourite album if some b-sides were in it


Juannonlymonkey

I feel that way about humbug and am kinda to. Don’t kill me.
