Light and airy, filmic but intimate, carefully arranged but deceptively powerful, ‘Suck It And See’ is Arctic Monkeys’ fourth album.
Recorded at Sound City Studios in Los Angeles with long-time producer / collaborator James Ford, it has a Summery pop feel, with the bulk of work completed on the West Coast.
Retaining only a modicum of the heaviness of ‘Humbug’, ‘Suck It And See’ sees Arctic Monkeys in major chord, classic songwriting territory once more.

Dont know where the previous reviewer got 'muscular American RAWK' from, think he may have been listening to a different song from the album where this discription would happilly apply to. This is more a traditional indie pop song about love and girls. Typical comical Turner lyrics too - 'Thats not a skirt girl thats a sawn off shot gun, and i can only hope youve got it aimed at me'. Pointless reviewing this really as im guessing fans have already heard the song.
So, what do you think? Best reviewer each month gets £10 off their next order!
