AM

After being seduced by Josh Homme on previous work, the group have once again forge ahead into bold new territory. AM isn't an album made for nights out, more like a soundtrack for nights in.

Alex Turner's mind seems continually preoccupied with love gone wrong, jealousy, and general misanthropy. An ideal album to listen to under the cover of darkness, due to the Arctic Monkeys' muscular wallop and musical restlessness. Having said that, it never feels like the band is wallowing in bleakness, instead, this is vibrant, moody music that showcases a band growing ever stronger with each risk they dare to take.
