10 Rock Songs Too Weird To Get Big

The Arctic Monkeys have been flexing their creative muscles a little too much for some fans' taste as of late. Compared to their garage leaning upbringing at the start of the '00s, stuff like Humbug and AM have shown them going down the rabbit hole of stoner rock and even some retro pastiches alongside their trademark sound. If there was one tipping point off the deep end though, most fans would point to Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino.

While the album itself is a pretty lowkey venture into the world of lounge music, She Looks Like Fun remains the single oddest moment on the entire record. As we acclimatized ourselves to the Monkeys' new sound on songs like Star Treatment and Four Out of Five, this feels like a descent into a lounge bar from the underworld, as Alex Turner tries on his sinister baritone for most of this song.

However, what could be considered sinister actually goes a bit too over the top in places, almost like Turner is shooting for a Satanic croon and settling for a bad version of Christian Bale's Batman voice. In terms of the song though, the voice really suits the music within, having just the right wonkiness to make you feel like you're trudging through dirt. It might not be the most alluring song in the world, but that's not really the point either.
