The document provides concert reviews from Consequence of Sound for several artists during the summer of 2018. A review notes that Radiohead launched straight into "Daydreaming" without fanfare. Another review states that while Arctic Monkeys' new album Tranquility represents a major shift in sound, elements of past albums are still apparent. A third review describes how Yeah Yeah Yeahs cranked up the energy over sludgy riffs during their performance.

CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND
Radiohead emerged as they
always do, without fanfare,
and launched straight into the
opening notes of
“Daydreaming” as if it were a
dare, with Yorke looking out to
the crowd to assure they were
indeed ready to dive in head
first. - Kevin McMahon, CoS
RADIOHEAD
Tranquility sounds like a major
shift for Arctic Monkeys — and
it is — but hearing just a
handful of the new songs
alongside things like Humbug’s
“Pretty Visitors” and AM’s
“Knee Socks”, you can clearly
see how the band’s tectonic
plates have moved over the
years. - Ben Kaye, CoS
ARCTIC MONKEYS
Yeah Yeah Yeahs cranked up
the energy over the sludgy riffs
of next tracks “Rich”, “Cold
Light”, and “Black Tongue”.
Karen O kicked a confetti
shower into the audience
before thrusting the mic into
the crowd for the call-and-
response of “yeah yeah yeah!”
- Killian Young, CoS
YEAH YEAH YEAHS
To celebrate 40 years of
making the world melancholy,
The Cure headlined an
enviable lineup at London’s
Hyde Park on Saturday
evening. The day-long fiesta
was sold as the band’s only
European date, - Debi del
Grande, CoS
THE CURE
New Jack, same as the old
Jack. Is there any more
impressive sight in rock than
watching White call out a
setlist on the fly as his
handpicked band pulls it off
with nary a flaw? Any concerns
that he’d somehow lost his joy
was ripped away from the first
shreds of opener “Over and
Over and Over”. - Ben Kaye
