Review: Arctic Monkeys - Suck It and See
Friday, June 10, 2011 at 10:40AM
Brit-pop enthusiasts will be incredibly happy to see that the Arctic Monkeys have produced another quality album since 2009's slightly disjointed and somewhat disappointing Humbug. While Alex Turner and his group of musicians are hardly the Beatles the fanbase built up behind this band is as much a juggernaut as the twelve tracks on this album. The album starts slower than other Arctic Monkeys albums, building quietly with the opening track "She's Thunderstorms" and moving into the striking "Black Treacle." Featuring lyrics like: "I don't mean to rain on anybody's cabaret / one of those games you're gonna lose / but you wanna play it just in case." After the first four tracks, the album truly picks up some gusto. "All My Own Stunts" more psychadelic, garage rock vibe that propels the track (and album) into a more ethereal place. Other tracks such as "Piledriver Waltz" and the title track "Suck It and See" are shining examples of Alex Turner's smart-mouthed gems in terms of lyrical talent. And with that title track Alex Turner may have finally turned a corner lyrically with the beautfully written:"I poured my aching heart into a pop song / I couldn't get the hang of poetry / That's not a skirt, girl, that's a sawn-off shotgun / And I can only hope you've got it aimed at me." Wherever the indie boys, the hipsters, or the guys smoking cigarettes in the corner of a bar are, they are nodding their heads in agreement.
