Episode 17: The Album Is Dead: Arctic Monkeys 'Humbug'

Some people say hthe album is dead... we believe it is alive and well! We're taking a look at some classic albums from years gone by, this week's album is Arctic Monkeys 'Humbug'. The album saw a bold change in style and direction from the band, showcasing a slightly heavier, darker and more American sounding record from the UK's biggest and brightest band of the 00's. While still bearing the Sheffield bands hallmarks it was co-produced by Josh Homme from Queens Of The Stone Age and recorded at his studio in the desert which really comes across on the album. It's purring and menacing guitars which lay behind Turner's witty social commentary took the band to another level, a more mature level with the tracks sounding untouchable and booming on the big festival stages.
