text: Premise[edit]

text: Several years after the Final Battle, Henry Mills leaves Storybrooke in search of his own story, only to find himself in the New Enchanted Forest of New Fairy Tale Land,[11][12] where a conflict between Lady Tremaine, Cinderella, Drizella, a resistance led by Tiana, and Mother Gothel's Coven of the Eight culminates in the casting of a new curse that sends the New Enchanted Forest inhabitants to Seattle in the past, before Henry leaves Storybrooke. As Henry's daughter Lucy sets out to restore his belief, Gothel's coven builds its sinister agenda and contends with an unknown witch murderer, while Dr. Facilier embarks on his own power grab for the Dark One Dagger. However, the breaking of the curse results in the return of Rumplestiltskin of the Wish Realm who intends to doom everyone to a miserable end, and amplify his own powers. His defeat ultimately leads to Regina's decision to merge all the realms of story, uniting them into one: the United Realms, with Regina elected and crowned the Good Queen.

He then presents it to Wish Henry, who is more than willing to help him rewrite some stories after being left without his mother or grandparents. He is commanded to erase the Guardian's powers, and Wish Rumple then sends Henry, Weaver, and Rogers into the snowglobe. Roni is left behind, as Wish Henry intends on seeking revenge after their last encounter. Meanwhile, Tilly feels that her father is in danger, and Sabine helps her and Margot obtain a magic bean after regaining her confidence as queen of her people. The two then reveal that they're making a pit stop to find help before heading to the Wish Realm, and they drive through the portal into Storybrooke.

Alice and Robin arrive in Storybrooke and come across the past version of Zelena. Robin reveals that she's her daughter from the future and tells her that their family needs help. In the snowglobe, Rumple reveals to Hook that his Wish Realm counterpart had stripped him of his powers and his immortality. Everyone is able to break free when Alice magically delivers Maui's fish hook. Meanwhile, Wish Henry has Regina captured and sets up a duel to death for them on the next day. Wish Rumple then visits Wish Henry and reveals that his plan is to use portals to trap all of the other characters inside of storybooks, where they are destined for unhappy endings. While she's locked up, Regina experiences a vision of Robin Hood. When Henry comes to her rescue, he's attacked by black knights, but Snow and Charming show up and save them both. Weaver uses magic dust to regain limited magic. As Wish Henry and Regina are fighting, the others begin to get sucked into the portals. Ultimately, Regina is able to reason with him and he forfeits, closing off the portals. Hook had grabbed Alice to save her, but their contact leaves his heart in a dire state. Rumple then decides to sacrifice himself, by removing his own heart and placing it inside Hook, destroying Wish Rumple and the Darkness in the process. He is then reunited with Belle in the Afterlife. Regina decides to merge all the realms using a new curse, which brings the united magical universe inside the Storybrooke limits. Several years later, the citizens decide to crown Regina as the Good Queen of the United Realms.

text: In January 2017, while season 6 was still in production, ABC president Channing Dungey spoke of a possible "reset" of the show's narrative in the event that the show received a season 7 order.[9] After much speculation, executive producers Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis later confirmed that certain characters would have their storylines wrapped up and that the back-end of the sixth season had been written with the season 7 narrative change in mind.[82] Despite the major changes from seasons past, the showrunners have said that they do not view season 7 as a complete reboot of the show. Horowitz said: "I hesitate to use the word "reboot." We're more thinking about it as a hybrid of a lot of things. We're paying homage to the original premise, but there are certain characters who are returning and some who are not. It's a combination of a lot of things, but what we're trying to do is go in a new direction but stay true to the spirit of what the show has always been."[83]

text: In July 2017, the creators announced that the series now take place in the Seattle neighborhood of Hyperion Heights, which was created under a new and darker curse. Residents of this neighborhood include displaced characters from the original and new versions of the Enchanted Forest, as well as regular people from the Land Without Magic. This differs from Storybrooke in season 1, which was an isolated town that was blocked off from real-world Maine. The initial villain is Lady Tremaine, who assumes the role of an urban developer who seeks to "gentrify the neighborhood" and push out and separate fairy tale residents. Meanwhile, Storybrooke and various Fairy Tale Land locations still appear in the flashbacks of the season as the story bounces back and forth between the characters' lives before and during the latest curse.[84]

text: The main flashback setting of the seventh season is the New Enchanted Forest, which is a New Fairy Tale Land realm.[11] Other locations featured in flashbacks are the Edge of Realms, the Wish Realm, New Wonderland, Oz, and Storybrooke itself.

text: Mr. Peabody & Sherman

text: Plot[edit]

text: Mr. Peabody is a gifted anthropomorphic dog who has an adopted 7-year-old young human son, Sherman. He tutors Sherman travelling throughout history using the WABAC, a time machine. They visit Marie Antoinette in Versailles during the French Revolution in 1789. Getting caught in the Reign of Terror, Peabody is nearly sent to the guillotine by Maximilien Robespierre, but escapes with Sherman through the Paris sewers.

tag: p

text: In the present day, Sherman attends the Susan B. Anthony School in New York City on his first day of school. His knowledge of the apocryphal nature of the George Washington cherry-tree anecdote leads to a fight with Penny Peterson in the cafeteria where she puts him in a choke hold. Peabody is called in by Principal Purdy who tells Peabody that Sherman had bit Penny. He is also confronted during this meeting by Ms. Grunion, a Child Protective Services agent, who implies that Sherman's behavior is due to being raised by a dog. She informs Peabody that she will come to their home to investigate whether he is an unfit parent.

text: Peabody invites Penny and her parents over for a dinner party to reconcile before Ms. Grunion arrives. Penny calls Sherman a liar for claiming first-hand knowledge of history. Despite Peabody's contrary instructions, Sherman shows Penny the WABAC. Penny goads Sherman into taking her into the past, where she stays in Ancient Egypt in 1332 BCE to marry King Tut. Sherman returns to get Mr. Peabody's help. Peabody hypnotises the Petersons, and retrieves Penny by telling her the fate of a pharaoh's widow.

text: The WABAC runs out of power, but Peabody is able to get them to Renaissance Florence in 1508 where they meet Leonardo da Vinci. Penny and Sherman explore da Vinci's attic, finding his flying machine. Penny goads Sherman into flying it, which he manages to do before crashing. Da Vinci is thrilled the device works, but Peabody is upset that Sherman risked his safety and destroyed a historical artifact.

text: They again attempt to return, but a black hole forces them into an emergency landing during the Trojan War in 1184 BCE. Upset about learning what Ms. Grunion would do to him, Sherman runs off and joins the army of King Agamemnon in the Trojan Horse. During the final parts of the Trojan War, Penny is trapped inside the Horse as it rolls towards a cliff. Peabody rescues her, but apparently dies during the attempt.

text: Sherman pilots the WABAC to a few minutes before they left in the present to get Mr. Peabody's help to fix everything. As Sherman and Penny try to explain the situation, Sherman's earlier self shows up. Peabody tries to conceal the presence of two Shermans from the Petersons, then Grunion arrives. Then a second Peabody arrives from Ancient Troy. Grunion's attempt to collect both Shermans causes them to touch and begin to merge. Both Peabodys rush to assist, but they each merge back together amidst a cosmic shockwave. Grunion grabs Sherman to take him away, hurting him in the process. Peabody furiously bites Grunion, who then calls the NYPD. Peabody, Penny, and Sherman race to the WABAC, but cannot time travel due to a rip in the space-time continuum caused by the merger of their cosmic doubles. Historical figures and objects from the past begin falling from the cosmic rip and into the present.

text: Mr. Peabody crash-lands the WABAC in Grand Army Plaza at William Tecumseh Sherman's statue's base. Historical figures and police officers quickly surround them. Grunion calls in Animal Control to collect Peabody. Sherman explains that everything was his fault, but Grunion contends that it is all because a dog cannot raise a boy. Sherman climactically shouts down Grunion, saying that if being a dog means being as loving and loyal as Peabody is, then he is proud to be a dog too. Penny, her parents, the historical figures, and others all make the same pledge. George Washington is able to grant Peabody a presidential pardon which is supported by Abraham Lincoln and Bill Clinton.

text: As Peabody, Leonardo da Vinci, Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, and Agamemnon try to figure out how to close the rip, Sherman suggests they travel into the future. Peabody and Sherman take off in the WABAC and undo the damage. The historical figures are dragged back to their respective times, with Agamemnon abducting Grunion back to his own time as she vows revenge on Peabody.

text: Sherman returns to school having made great friends with Penny. History, meanwhile, is contaminated with modern traits, while Grunion and Agamemnon get married in the Trojan Horse.

text: In addition to Leonardo da Vinci, King Agamemnon, and King Tut, the film features other historical figures including Albert Einstein (Mel Brooks),[21] Mona Lisa (Lake Bell),[12] Marie Antoinette (Lauri Fraser),[16] Maximilien de Robespierre (Guillaume Aretos),[16] George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Bill Clinton, Isaac Newton (all voiced by Jess Harnell),[20] Odysseus (Tom McGrath),[20] Ajax the Lesser (Al Rodrigo)[20] and Spartacus (Walt Dohrn).[22] There are also cameos with no words by Benjamin Franklin,[23] Mahatma Gandhi,[24] William Shakespeare,[25] Ludwig van Beethoven,[25] Vincent van Gogh,[26] the Wright Brothers,[22] Jackie Robinson[22] and baby Moses.[27]

text: Production[edit]

text: Development[edit]

text: Plans for a film starring Mister Peabody and Sherman have existed for several years with director Rob Minkoff. His first attempt to make a feature film goes to 2003, when it was reported that Minkoff's Sony-based production company Sprocketdyne Entertainment and Bullwinkle Studios would produce a live-action/CG film, with a possibility of Minkoff to direct it.[28]

text: The live-action film was not realized, but in 2006, Minkoff joined DreamWorks Animation to direct a computer-animated film adaptation. Andrew Kurtzman was set to write the screenplay, based on the pitch, developed by Minkoff with his longtime producing partner Jason Clark.[29] The final screenplay was written by Craig Wright, with revisions by Robert Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon.

text: Tiffany Ward, daughter of Jay Ward, one of the creators of the original series, served as an executive producer,[6] whose job was to make sure the film stayed "true to the integrity of the characters." When she was approached by Minkoff ten years before the film's release, she was enthused by his intention to respect the legacy: "What better caretaker for the characters could we ask for than Rob."[30] Lengthy pursuit to make the adaptation "perfect" took them a long time, but she was pleased with the end result, which stayed "very true to the original cartoon."[30]

text: Casting[edit]

text: In early 2011, Robert Downey, Jr. signed on to voice Mr. Peabody,[31] but in March 2012, he was replaced by Ty Burrell.[8] Reportedly, Downey's commitments to The Avengers and other franchises did not allow him to find the time to record his lines.[32] Initially, Tiffany Ward and others at the studio opposed Burrell, who was then relatively unknown, but he managed to convince them with a successful audition.[32] Ward insisted on someone who sounds like Mr. Peabody did in the original series, while Minkoff saw the casting as an opportunity "to modernize the character."[32] He promised her that Burrell would try to "get there and he started watching the show to nail the cadence. He got the underlying connection and he made it his own."[32]

text: Max Charles, the actor who played young Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man, voiced Sherman.[8] Stephen Colbert voiced Paul Peterson, Leslie Mann, who replaced Ellie Kemper, voiced Peterson's wife, Patty,[12] and Ariel Winter voiced their daughter Penny. Other voices include Stephen Tobolowsky, Allison Janney, Mel Brooks, Stanley Tucci, Patrick Warburton, Lake Bell, Zach Callison, Karan Brar, and Dennis Haysbert.[11] According to Minkoff, Burrell was chosen because his voice "embodied all the different aspects of the character today. Not just the intellect and the suave personality, but the underlying warmth as well."[30]

text: Release[edit]

text: Mr. Peabody & Sherman went through several release date changes. Originally scheduled for March 2014,[33][34] DreamWorks Animation's high expectations moved the film to November 2013, replacing another DreamWorks Animation film, Me and My Shadow.[11][35] The last shift happened in February 2013, which pushed the film back to March 7, 2014, reportedly due to a "more advantageous release window", again replacing Me and My Shadow.[3] The film premiered a month earlier in the United Kingdom, on February 7, 2014.[36]

text: The film was planned[37] to be theatrically[38] accompanied with a DreamWorks Animation short film, Rocky & Bullwinkle,[39] based on the Rocky and Bullwinkle characters from The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show. The short was directed by Gary Trousdale, who is known for co-directing Disney's Beauty and the Beast, produced by Nolan Cascino, and written by Thomas Lennon and Robert Garant.[39] June Foray was set to reprise her role as Rocket "Rocky" J. Squirrel,[39] while Tom Kenny was set to voice Bullwinkle Moose.[40] The short would have served as a test for a possible feature film based on the characters.[41] Almost Home, a short based on the DreamWorks Animation film Home, played before the film instead.[42] However, the new CGI Rocky & Bullwinkle short was instead released on the Blu-ray release of the film.[43]

text: Home media[edit]

text: Mr. Peabody & Sherman was released in digital HD on September 23, 2014, and on Blu-ray (2D and 3D) and DVD on October 14, 2014.[44] The Blu-ray release also included a  new CGI Rocky & Bullwinkle short film.[44] As of February 2015, 3.4 million home entertainment units were sold.[45]

text: Reception[edit]

text: Critical response[edit]

text: As of May 2018, review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gave the film a score of 80% based on reviews from 130 critics, with an average rating of 6.6/10. The website's consensus read: "Mr. Peabody & Sherman offers a surprisingly entertaining burst of colorful all-ages fun, despite its dated source material and rather convoluted plot."[46] Another review aggregation website, Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 top reviews from mainstream critics, calculated a score of 59 out of 100 based on 34 reviews.[47] Furthermore, the CinemaScore audience rating of the film is an "A", indicating they were pleased with the film.[48]

text: Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian said: "(The film) takes a little while for the audience to get up to speed, but once this is achieved, there's an awful lot of unexpected fun to be had,"[49] while Mark Kermode of the sister paper The Observer declared, "Pleasant to report, then, that DreamWorks' latest offers a fairly consistent stream of sight gags and vocal slapstick, even as the plot veers wildly down a wormhole in the time-space continuum."[50] Kevin McFarland of The A.V. Club gave the film a C+, saying, "Unlike the whimsical, slapstick-driven shorts on which it's based, this feature-length adaptation adds an obligatory emotional arc that feels at odds with the zany spirit of historical time-travel tales."[51] A. O. Scott of The New York Times gave the film a positive review, saying, "This DreamWorks Animation production, directed by Rob Minkoff (Stuart Little, The Lion King) from a screenplay by Craig Wright, is not perfect, but it is fast-moving, intermittently witty and pretty good fun."[52] Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film a B, saying, "Mr. Peabody & Sherman is a whip-smart, consistently funny and good-natured film with some terrific voice performances and one of the most hilarious appearances ever by an animated version of a living human being."[53] Claudia Puig of USA Today gave the film two and a half stars out of four, saying, "Mr. Peabody & Sherman is lively, educational and intermittently amusing. The fun, however, grows strained and formulaic as the movie goes on."[54] Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune gave the film two out of four stars, saying, "The film's animation design is strictly generic in its rounded edges and dutiful 3-D IN YOUR FACE!!! gimmicks. And the story gets off to such a sour start, it takes a long time for the comedy to recover."[21]

text: Bill Goodykoontz of The Arizona Republic gave the film two and a half stars out of five, saying, "It retains the main characters, the WABAC machine, the trips through history – but not the sense of nuttiness that made the TV cartoon so delightful."[55] Colin Covert of the Star Tribune gave the film three out of four stars, saying, "What a relief to see that while Mr. Peabody's visuals are enhanced to sleek 21st-century standards, the essential charm of the series survives more or less intact."[56] Elizabeth Weitzman of New York Daily News gave the film three out of four stars, saying, "Burrell doesn't quite capture the wry deadpan of the original, but then, neither does the movie. That's okay."[57] Bruce Demara of the Toronto Star gave the film three out of four stars, saying, "Kids of all ages are sure to enjoy this visually splendid, fast-paced blast through the past."[58] Betsy Sharkey of the Los Angeles Times gave the film a negative review, saying, "For all the ways the film reflects its earlier TV incarnation, the shadings have been softened. Mr. Peabody could use a bit more bite."[59] Soren Anderson of The Seattle Times gave the film two and a half stars out of four, saying, "Frantically paced by director Rob Minkoff (The Lion King) and making very effective use of 3D – Hey! Get that sword out of my face! – the movie will surely appeal to kids."[60] Rafer Guzman of Newsday gave the film two and a half stars out of four, saying, "The movie has trouble stitching together disjointed episodes into a coherent narrative. Thanks to a strong voice cast, however, the characters retain their charm throughout."[61]

text: Leslie Felperin of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a positive review, saying, "The film's saving grace is its character design and use of 3D techniques to speed things up in every sense when the plot starts to flag."[62] Liam Lacey of The Globe and Mail gave the film two and a half stars out of four, saying, "Mr. Peabody is fast-paced and jammed with rib-poking historical references, but it couldn't be called witty, even on the broadly winking level of the original cartoon."[63] Stephen Whitty of the Newark Star-Ledger gave the film three out of four stars, saying, "Fifty years ago, animated entertainment was a lot quieter. But that was my Mr. Peabody & Sherman. This is someone else's. And it should give them, and even a few open-minded parents, almost just as much giggly fun."[64] Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly gave the film a B, saying, "Mr. Peabody & Sherman has a zesty time mixing and matching historical figures, from Marie Antoinette to George Washington. Yet the movie never, to my mind, conjured quite the quirky effervescence of such brainiac animated features as the Jimmy Neutron or SpongeBob SquarePants movies."[65] Michael O'Sullivan of The Washington Post gave the film one out of four stars, saying, "By visual standards alone, the characters, rendered in eye-popping 3-D, resemble nothing so much as Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade floats. They're just as lifeless and inexpressive, too."[66] Sean Daly of the Tampa Bay Times gave the film a B, saying, "Before getting sucked into a what-the-wormhole ending that will scramble young brains, time-travel romp Mr. Peabody & Sherman is a fast, fun 3-D getaway."[67]

text: Lou Lumenick of the New York Post gave the film three out of four stars, saying, "Against all odds, DreamWorks Animation has created a smart, funny and beautifully designed feature called Mr. Peabody & Sherman."[68] Tom Huddleston of Time Out gave the film two out of five stars, saying, "This feature-length Mr Peabody & Sherman is by no means unbearable: there are a few decent gags, and the episodic plot just about manages to hold the interest. But there's little here for any but the most easy-to-please youngsters."[69] Eric Henderson of Slant Magazine gave the film one and a half stars out of four, saying, "The film spent roughly a dozen years in development, and the moronic, corporate detritus from that long time warp is strewn about like so many improbable history lessons."[70] Steven Rea of The Philadelphia Inquirer gave the film three out of four stars, saying, "Mr. Peabody & Sherman has a cool, midcentury-modern look (dog and boy live in a populuxe Manhattan penthouse) and a voice cast that may not be A-list but fits the bill nicely."[71] David Gritten of The Daily Telegraph gave the film four out of five stars, saying, "It's sweet-natured and amusing, with a story to captivate kids; yet the script has enough witty touches to keep adults laughing too."[72] Perry Seibert, writing for AllMovie, gave the movie two stars out of five, calling the movie "long, loud, and visually exhausting" and saying that it "feels less like an attempt to update a boomer classic for millennials than a prime example of how lazy marketing guys hold sway over what movies get made."[73]

text: Box office[edit]

text: Mr. Peabody & Sherman grossed $111,506,430 in North America, and $164,191,609 in other countries, for a worldwide total of $275,698,039[5] With a budget of $145 million,[5] the film underperformed, forcing DreamWorks Animation to take a $57 million write-down on behalf of the film.[74]

text: In North America, the film earned $8 million on its opening day,[75] and opened to number two in its first weekend, with $32,207,057, behind 300: Rise of an Empire.[76] In its second weekend, the film moved up to number one, grossing $21,809,249.[77] In its third weekend, the film dropped to number three, grossing $11,832,558.[78] In its fourth weekend, the film dropped to number four, grossing $9,070,635.[79]

document_title: Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino

question_text: where was tranquility base hotel and casino recorded

text: Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino

text: Background and recording[edit]

text: The band's fifth studio album AM was released on 9 September 2013. The album was critically acclaimed, and brought the group new levels of commercial success. On 1 April 2016, Alex Turner's psychedelic pop side project the Last Shadow Puppets released their second studio album Everything You've Come to Expect. In April 2017, Turner co-produced Alexandra Savior's debut album Belladonna of Sadness with James Ford. This was Turner's first foray into record production, with the two proceeding to produce Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino. Meanwhile, drummer Matt Helders joined Iggy Pop's band for Post Pop Depression, as well as contributing to "Diamond Heart" from Lady Gaga's Joanne, and marrying actress Breana McDow.[1]

text: Following the international success of AM, Turner suffered from writer's block, struggling to find a direction for a new album. Having written "Sweet Dreams, TN" from Everything You've Come to Expect, he lost interest in writing love songs, with a friend suggesting "not doing that for a moment". In early 2016, upon watching Federico Fellini's 1963 film 8½, Turner was inspired by its depiction of writer's block, childhood memories and the science fiction genre. He began writing songs for the album on a Steinway Vertegrand piano he received as a 30th birthday gift from the band's manager Ian McAndrew, in a spare room of his Los Angeles home dubbed "Lunar Surface". During the process Turner recalled piano lessons he had received from his father at the age of eight, commenting that he "never thought [his father's influence] would find its way into [his] compositions as much as it has on this record".[2][3][4] Many of the vocal takes on the album remain from Turner's home demos on a Tascam 388 8-track recording machine.[5]

text: Guitarist Jamie Cook commented that he "was blown away by the direction Alex had gone in" when Turner played the band the demos in February 2017.[6] Initially unsure how they would record the songs, Cook suggested Turner release it as a solo album, but Turner was uninterested. Cook began recording guitar ideas to complement the demo, with bassist Nick O'Malley particularly approving of the track "Star Treatment".[7]

text: In September 2017 the band began recording material at Vox Studios in Hollywood and La Frette in Paris, with long-time collaborator James Ford co-producing the album with Turner.[8][9] During these sessions "the piano and guitar started to jell", with O'Malley and drummer Matt Helders joining. Helders commented that during recording he played with more restraint than on previous records, noting that "it's about playing for the songs".[6] Further recording sessions took place with Ford in London.

text: The group employed a wider array of guest musicians than on previous albums, with contributors including Ford, guitarist Tom Rowley (who serves as a touring member of the band), Guards drummer Loren Humphrey, Zach Dawes and Tyler Parkford of Mini Mansions, and Cam Avery, who contributes backing vocals to "She Looks Like Fun".[10] The musicians all played together in the same room, inspired by the sessions for the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds and Phil Spector's Wall of Sound production method.[2] Avery and Parkford both joined the band as touring members following the album's release.

text: Composition[edit]

text: Musical style and influences[edit]

text: The album is a departure from the band's previous guitar riff-driven work, resultant of Turner's usage of the piano over the guitar in its composition.[6] It has been characterised as lounge pop, space pop and glam rock,[11][12][13] as well as incorporating influences from jazz.[6] Its sound has been described as "subdued, but warm and classic in the way that musicians who seek out storied mixing consoles aspire to",[4] as well as "lush and claustrophobic".[6]

text: The album has been compared to the works of Father John Misty, David Bowie, Serge Gainsbourg, Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave and Jarvis Cocker,[4][12][3][6][14][15][16] as well as Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys.[3] Turner has cited Gainsbourg's Histoire de Melody Nelson, Cohen's Death of a Ladies' Man,[2] Dion's Born to Be with You and François de Roubaix's score for Le Samouraï as key influences.[6]

text: Lyrics and themes[edit]

text: Lyrically the album refers frequently to science fiction, exploring "the role of entertainment – the desire to escape into it, and the desire to create it – during periods of societal upheaval and crisis", influenced by current politics in the United States, as well as consumerism,[16] religion and technology.[3] The album's lyrics have been described as "absurdist suave", in oppose to the "witty sleaze" of Turner's previous work.[16] Turner has labelled the album's narrator as "a lounge-y character",[6] with the "dense" and "self-aware" lyrics described as "endlessly quotable",[3][4] written in a "rambling, stream-of-conciousness style".[17] "Turner cited various films as influencing the album's lyrics, including Spirits of the Dead, World on a Wire and the works of Jean-Pierre Melville.[18]

text:
"Science fiction creates these other worlds within which we can explore our own, and I wanted to write something about that idea. So, through reading sci-fi ... I began to access that sort of vocabulary — then suddenly we're talking about virtual reality moon casino experiences."

—Alex Turner[18]

tag: div

text: Turner commented that he took a different approach to writing lyrics than on previous albums, noting that he "became less concerned on this album [with] compartmentalising every idea to the point where each song became this episode that starts and ends in three minutes", with Leonard Cohen inspiring a different perspective on each lyric's relationship with its context.[19] He further noted that his writing on the album was "blunt", in a way he considered similar to the band's debut Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not. On the connections between the two albums, Turner commented that "it’s set in a completely different place, obviously, but there’s something in the lyrics that reminds me of something in that writing. I’m tempted to say that it’s something to do with how blunt it is. I think that was something I was trying to get away from, and perhaps I’ve returned to it now".[2]

text: Songs[edit]

text: "Star Treatment", the album's opening track, begins with a reference to The Strokes' influence on the band's early work, with Turner commenting that their arrival "changed what music I was listening to, what shoes I was wearing. I grew my hair out and borrowed my mum’s blazer. I was a huge fan".[20] Its chorus describes a fictional band named "the Martini Police".[3] The track's narrator expresses surprise that an acquaintance has never seen the science fiction film Blade Runner. Turner has stated that this was based on real-life interactions, noting his interest in the fact that "it goes beyond: 'What do you mean you’ve never seen Blade Runner?' and gets to: 'Oh my God, I envy you!'".[2] Musically, Turner "glams up like David Bowie descending on a lunar wedding".[16] "One Point Perspective" is built around a "sweet piano figure", containing "lavish" strings and a "super-simple hip-hop beat".[11][3][4] Lyrically the track explores social media, with a "jaded narrator" mocking "rock-star ennui", and joking "I'm gonna run for government. I'm gonna form a covers band an' all".[21] Turner has noted that the track's jazz elements were influenced by his father, commenting that "the sort of jazzy bit of that, that every time it comes around, when I sit there, it feels like something he would play".[2]

text: On "American Sports", the album takes "a dark turn", with Turner's vocals described as "sinister".[18] The album's titular track mocks the "sterility of our modern world", with Turner sarcastically singing "technological advances really bloody get me in the mood". The track also contains political references, on which Turner has commented that "more of those ideas have certainly found a way into this record than anything I’ve done before".[18] "Golden Trunks" has been described as "unsettling", and contains a "raw and brooding" guitar riff that has been compared to the album's predecessor AM,[22][3] with Turner's vocals containing "rakish charm, in the form of falsetto".[23] The line "the leader of the free world reminds you of a wrestler wearing tight golden trunks" has caused attention, with many believing the lyrics to be in reference to Donald Trump.[11]

text:
"Four Out of Five"

The album's lead single is a glam rock song, which has been described as its most accessible track.

text: "Four Out of Five" has been described as a "Bowie-ish glam song",[4] as well as being likened to the band's Suck It and See and Everything You've Come to Expect by Turner's side-project the Last Shadow Puppets.[3] It has been labelled as the album's "only singalong anthem", and describes an acclaimed taqueria on the moon named the "Information-Action Ratio", in reference to Neil Postman's concept, exploring gentrification.[24][16] The taqueria's name was a coincidental result of Matt Helders' backing vocals, with Turner commenting that "phonetically it's quite alluring". On "The World's First Ever Monster Truck Front Flip", Turner "flips with ease from a Bowie-style drawl to the falsetto and to a gruff murmur".[17] Its "reverb and sparse touches of bass and percussion" has been compared to Pet Sounds.[22]

text: "Science Fiction" is "driven by a slinky riff", and has been compared stylistically to Humbug,[3][24] while "She Looks Like Fun" has been described as a "'60s-style novelty track"[4] lyrically similar to the works of Morrissey.[23] "Batphone" has also been compared to Humbug and AM,[3][17] musically featuring a "heavier thump". The track has been described as "comical" and "jaunty", specifically in the line "Have I told you all about the time I got sucked into a hole through a handheld device?".[17] Turner explores a "capitalist ennui", singing "I launch my fragrance called Integrity. I sell the fact that I can’t be bought".[16] "The Ultracheese" has been compared to "Que Sera, Sera" and the vocal melody of Patsy Cline's "Leavin' on Your Mind", with a "gorgeous" guitar solo and descending piano chords that "symbol a kind of final bow".[3][22][17]

text: Artwork[edit]

text: The album's artwork was designed by Alex Turner using cardboard cut-outs and a Revox A77 tape machine. On the artwork, Turner stated that "In the past I've definitely had record covers that don't, to me, represent what's on the wax, and I certainly don't feel that way about this one. By the end of it, I think I'd forgotten there even was a record. I'd just gotten obsessed with cardboard."[5] Turner began by drawing a hexagon, to reflect the band's sixth studio album, eventually drawing influence from architects Eero Saarinen and John Lautner, becoming "quite consumed" by the process.[6] In an interview with Radio X he said: "The album artwork started from a picture that I saw of someone in the art department of 2001: A Space Odyssey, building the set for the Hilton on the moon. At this point, we’d already decided to call the album Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino, so we began to think of things that may be in the lobby of this place. The thing that I became most obsessed with that there was a model of the place inside the lobby."[25]

text: Release and promotion[edit]

text: In September 2017, bassist Nick O'Malley announced that the band had begun recording a follow-up to 2013's AM, stating that if the album was not released in 2018 they've "got problems".[8] In 2018, the band announced an extensive global tour to begin later that year.[26]

text: The release of Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino was first announced on 5 April 2018, through a short video directed by Ben Chappell. The video depicted a spinning model of the album's artwork, and featured snippets of "Four Out of Five".[27] No singles were released before the album,[28] although the songs "American Sports", "Four Out of Five", "One Point Perspective" and "She Looks Like Fun" were performed live in San Diego on 2 May, in what was their first show in nearly four years.[29] The band announced pop-up shops for the weekend of the album's release, in their native Sheffield, New York, Paris, Berlin, Tokyo, and Sydney. The Sydney pop-up venue included a mini film festival curated by the band.[30]

text: On 13 May, following the release of the album, "Four Out of Five" was issued as the album's lead single, with an accompanying music video.[31] On 6 June, the band performed live at BBC's Maida Vale Studios, with their performance being broadcast four days later as a Live at the BBC special. Their setlist primarily consisted of songs from the album, as well as earlier singles.[32]

text: Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino has received generally positive reviews from music critics, despite polarising listeners.[36] On Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 74, based on 31 reviews.[33] Thomas Smith of NME noted that the album was likely to be "divisive", describing it as "the band's most intriguing record to date". He promised the album would "reward deep-diving listeners", concluding that "depending on where you're sitting, this album will likely either be a bitter disappointment or a glorious step forward".[3] Q described it as "a strange, wonderful album, one that almost feels like Arctic Monkeys have embarked on their own full-band side-project".[35] Uncut praised the album as "low-key but engrossing", but noted that "it can be a little one-paced, and a little withholding".[4] Roisin O'Connor of The Independent described the album as "creative, intriguing and completely different".[17] Spin's Larry Fitzmaurice described the album as the group's "strangest and most alluring", writing that a "sense of heading into the unknown – of charting new and strange artistic territory, accessibility be damned – pervades Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino as a whole, its own adventurousness proving a successful gambit".[11] Cosette Schulz from Exclaim! said the album is worth a second and third listen, writing "Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino feels like poetic social and fantasy-world commentary penned by Turner, who then fancied having a go at the piano and then brought the whole band in for good measure. Turner is clever and cheeky, as he's been known to be, switching up his singing style from deep to falsetto, and even testing out different tones as he embodies certain characters."[22]

text: For The Guardian, Alexis Petridis praised the album's humour, but criticised its occasional smugness, noting that "a smart guy is sometimes all Turner seems to be", with the album's tracks "feel[ing] like less than the sum of their parts". He concluded that "at turns thrilling, smug, clever and oddly cold, Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino is only a qualified success" and is "evidence – albeit flawed – of a certain musical restlessness". In a mixed review for Rolling Stone, Jon Dolan praised the album's ambition but wrote that "the meandering LP can't bear the weight of the man at the piano's indulgences", concluding that the band "tried a stylistic change up that doesn't quite work" and that "sometimes restless artistry has a price".[12] Annie Zaleski of The A.V. Club noted that the album's lack of "obvious hooks" was its key flaw, resulting in it feeling "unmoored and even plodding".[23]

text: Commercial performance[edit]

text: The album debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, with combined sales of 86,000 copies, becoming the group's sixth consecutive album to debut at number one in the UK.[37] In addition, with 24,500 vinyl copies sold in the first week, the album became the UK's fastest selling vinyl record in 25 years.[38] A week following its release, the album was certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry. The album also debuted at number one in Australia, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Scotland and Switzerland, as well as reaching number two in Denmark, Ireland, New Zealand and Norway, and the top ten in Austria, the Czech Republic, Italy, Canada, Germany, Mexico, Finland, Sweden and Poland. In the United States, the album debuted at number eight on the Billboard 200 chart, selling 47,000 units, of which 37,000 were in traditional album sales.[39]
