Rock Monkeys


The Arctic Monkeys widely anticipated fourth album is a widely ranged mix of rock related genres, Grunge, Indie and Punk. The title song, Suck It And See is ultimately an Indie song but with some Dylan-esque parts and lyrics. This time around the Sheffield band has chosen to make more mainstream music whilst keeping their feel of an Indie band. They have also moved away from the heavier sounds of Humbug with a lighter feel to this record, apart from the post-punk revival Brick By Brick and the grunge inspired Library Pictures, both good songs. Overall, this album is good with music for all tastes but it keeps the English guitar band feel to it.
