Explore this song's rooms and you'll surprisingly unearth Arctics of old (there are shades of 'Don't Forget Whose Legs You Are' present here) as well as a bass line to die for courtesy of Nick O'Malley.

Submit yourself to the record's title track and you may just find the hairs on your neck springing on end.

Perhaps their grandest ballad yet, and the biggest evidence of his newly-acquired Steinway, this ultra cheesy number (see what they did?) is a merging of AM’s “No 1 Party Anthem” and The Last Shadow Puppets’ “Sweet Dreams TN” with reference to the booth featured in “Piledriver Waltz.” With any luck, the album closer - worlds away from previous efforts including “A Certain Romance,” “505” and “That’s Where You’re Wrong” - will become a regular fixture in karaoke booths across the world. If Alex Turner penned a musical, this would be its highlight most likely deployed before the interval. If you arrive for that commentary, stay for the mid-section guitar solos which pave the way for the frontman making fun of his own behaviour ('I need to spend less time stood around in bars / Waffling on to strangers all about martial arts,' he sings, a grin clearly on his face). The song, fit with backing vocals from Tame Impala's Cam Avery, provides Helders with his moment as Turner drawls random words ('Cheeseburger!' 'Snowboarding' 'Bukowski!') in a bid to tear apart the meaninglessness of social media. A standout for anyone else, but one that pales in comparison to the superior songs surrounding it.Ī grower of the highest order, this theatrical number is one Miles Kane away from being a Last Shadow Puppets track. 'I want to make a simple point about peace and love, but in a sexy way where it’s not obvious,” Turner sings amid eerie instrumentation inspired by German film director Rainer Werner Fassbinder. Splitting listeners down the middle (many reviews have cited it as their favourite track), the song serves as the springboard for the record's thematic undercurrent. 'Science Fiction' presents Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino with its first lull, however minor that is.
