Humbug: Arctic Monkeys

Album number three from Sheffield’s finest sees Alex Taylor and co up their game with an ever bolder and considerably brasher sound. Teaming Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age with their usual producer James Ford has added beef and vigour to a band that could never be accused of lacking either.

First single ‘Crying Lighting’ is an absolute corker of a tune that sets the pace for a record which shows a band brimming with ambition and ideas and hey, ain’t that a good thing. Sit back and watch this one rocket up the charts and permeate your airwaves. Strong like Sheffield steel.
