The Arctic Monkeys' much-anticipated third effort was co-produced by Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme and James Ford.

It is still full to the brim though, of Alex Turner's lyrical dexterity and the band's catchy melodies, particularly on 'Cornerstone' which would become one of their classic pieces of northern English storytelling.

Arctic Monkeys - Humbug Vinyl Album is a prestige item for every vinyl collection, artfully designed and engineered to present a riveting, high-quality sound experience.Rhythms and melodies collide on every song, with various exotic instrumentation decorating the quartet's foundation sound. On first glance, it's a peculiar pair--the heirs of Paul Weller meet the heavy desert mystic--but this isn't a team of equals, it's a big brother helping his little siblings go wayward and get weird. Keeping you in the loop with what is happening in our world - records from Domino Mart, news, discounts and exclusives.

The distinctive sound quality, combined with the aesthetic appeal of the packaging, is simply phenomenal. Indulge your auditory senses with the Arctic Monkeys - Humbug Vinyl Album, an unparalleled piece of stellar craftsmanship. 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, sensibilities that extend to Alex Turner's words too, as he trades keen detail for vivid scrawled impressions. The final tracks on each side appear to have been purposefully toned down so it wouldn't have any clipping, I'd assume.Their debut album Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not won the 2006 Mercury Prize, was chosen as the best album of year 2006 by Q Magazine, and received a slew of other accolades. They released their seventh studio album, The Car, on October 21st, 2022, preceded by the singles "There'd Better Be a Mirrorball", "Body Paint" and "I Ain't Quite Where I Think I Am".
