From 'I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor' to 'Cornerstone' to 'Body Paint,' here are the 40 greatest Arctic Monkeys songs ranked.
, “Fluorescent Adolescent” is a gooey, rapturous slice of glory-soaked, itch-scratching pop-rock. Innuendos and comedic verses come aplenty, but it’s the “The best you ever had is just a memory, and those dreams weren’t as daft as they seem” line that hits the hardest—as it can be read as a cheeky nod to whether or not the band could ever again live up to the hype of their debut album.
The band took a 2006 version of themselves and plugged some electronica and subdued intervals of downtempo in there someplace—slowly revealing that distortion doesn’t have to live at a 100% volume 24/7. Singing of fantasies about a mid-century, sex-symbol lover, Turner cannonballs into the deep end of some real dreamy, sexy waters here. “My days end best when the sunset gets itself behind, that little lady sitting on the passenger side,” he sings.

Arctic soil methane consumption may be larger than previously thought and increases in a drier climateArctic wetlands are known emitters of the strong greenhouse gas methane (CH4). Well-drained soils on the other hand remove methane from the atmosphere. In the Arctic and boreal biomes, well drained upland soils with a high potential for atmospheric methane consumption cover more than 80% of the land area. Despite the large upland coverage and their potential importance for methane uptake, the underlying mechanisms, environmental controls and even the magnitude of Arctic soil methane uptake are poorly understood.
