Arctic Monkeys ''Humbug''
The Arctic Monkeys' much-anticipated third effort was co-produced by Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme and James Ford. Early reports of the album took note of its more psychedelic sound, which Turner attributes to the band's interest in Jimi Hendrix, some of Black Sabbath at the time of recording. Lead-off single "Crying Lightning" features the "laconic croon" more associated with The Last Shadow Puppets, along with stream-of-consciousness lyrics that hint at the evolution of Turner's songwriting for the album.
The album is great and it takes Arctic Monkeys to a whole other level musically speaking, as well as the incredible hability that Alex Turner has to write the lyrics that compliments the music transporting you to another state of mind, here is the tracklist:
1. "My Propeller"
2. "Crying Lightning"
3. "Dangerous Animals"
4. "Secret Door"
5. "Potion Approaching"
6. "Fire and the Thud"
7. "Cornerstone"
8. "Dance Little Liar"
9. "Pretty Visitors"
10. "The Jeweller's Hands"
And here is one of my personal favourites, the 7th track, the outstanding ''Cornerstone'', enjoy.
