Reviews"Maturity has spread throughout the bnad....Rhythms and melodies collide on every song, with various exotic instrumentation decorating the quartet's foundation sound.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "On 'The Jeweller's Hand,' Turner channels the spirit of Edgar Allan Poe....'Dance Little Liar' is more gothic still, Arctic Monkeys revealing a previously hidden talent for cinematics.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "Turner can floor with his wordplay....Plus the chops, particularly of drummer Matt Helders, who does well not to buckle under Homme's glare, are, frankly, amazing throughout.", "The Monkeys still favor angular riffs and clenched rhythms, constructing tightly framed vignettes not widescreen epics, but they're working with a darker palette and creating vaguely abstract compositions...", "They continue to churn out spiky Britpop anthems, though they take a (relative) turn for the deeper and darker here." -- Grade: B+, "Arctic Monkeys collect their darkest impulses and put them on stark display; it's another massive step forward in a career that seems marked for greatness.", "With thoughtful, introspective songs like the opener 'My Propeller' and 'Secret Door,' a tune that displays an almost Cure-like poignancy.", "It's their loosest record yet by far....The guitars in particular have a snapping, reverberant desert/surf tone that fuels the band's descent into night."
An excellently packaged album, gatefold sleeve with 180gram heavyweight vinyl.
Ok, so it’s not the Arctics best album, it’s not got the witty lyrics of the first two albums, it doesn’t have the driving beats of the first two albums, it doesn’t come anywhere near A.M in terms of quality songwriting, but it’s a great album with some great songs. My propeller and cornerstone being two of the best. But at this time of year, don’t be a Scrooge!!! Buy, Humbug and you’ll not be disappointed......
