5. The Car, Arctic Monkeys (October 21)

Marking their return since their 2018 record Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino, Arctic Monkeys’ new album The Car is releasing October 21! The album was written by front man Alex Turner and features 10 new tracks! The latest single off the new album “There’d Better Be A Mirrorball” marks a new direction for the group, with a more mature, gentle sound compared to their older rock ballads; however, Turner’s style of metaphorical lyrics still remains!
