Did not like Crying Lightening at first, but it's growing on me.

For a guy who writes some nasty lyrics, Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner has a thing for sweets. Take Humbug, the band's third and best album. Despite the fact the band hails from the same country as Ebenezer Scrooge, the title comes from a British treat. Early on the album there's also a reference to a gobstopper, or jawbreaker.

“I suppose there are a lot of references to the sweets,” bassist Nick O'Malley says. “Alex does have a real sweet tooth. It comes through in his lyric writing.

“He likes baked goods as well.”

But in making Humbug the Monkeys had to leave their regional culinary preferences behind.

Hailed as the next big thing in the U.K. (an annual occurrence), the Monkeys arrived in the United States three years ago as teenage superstars back home. They were cheeky and not lacking a distinctive sound, a dark guitar rock that played strangely well on the dance floor.

There was buzz befitting a band confident enough to title an early EP Who the (Expletive) Are Arctic Monkeys?.Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, the Monkeys' debut album, was well received, though hardly one to retire on. A second album revealed the group to be in a holding pattern.

Hooking up with Queens of the Stone Age's Josh Homme shook their tree. Homme invited the band to his desert studio in California. They left most of their gear, and the sweets, behind.

“Clean underwear, that's about it,” O'Malley says.

The band made use of Homme's well-stocked studio. “I very much liked a few of the basses I used,” he says. “But you wouldn't think about stealing them. Josh is a big guy.”

O'Malley says being so removed from the band's comfort zone was a big help. “It's like nothing we'd ever done before,” he says. “They showed us around the national park (Joshua Tree); it was like nothing we'd ever seen before. It was like an alien landscape.”

The result is a darker, edgier recording that makes good on the band's early promise. The beats are still slinky enough for shaking a leg to, not surprising considering Homme's role. There's a bigger and buzzier bass and drum sound.

Turner continues to write dark and detailed songs with cutting commentary about people and their problems, like a line that turns the chicken/egg cliché into a sneering barb on Pretty Visitors. It all starts turning with My Propeller, a sort of bleary-eyed play on My Starter Won't Start, that suggests some oil and a spin will get it going again.

Don't expect more desert-inspired rock. O'Malley says there's talk of building a studio and “getting all Phil Spector with the next one. We like to try different things; we're still quite young.”

Until then they will be touring a lot, which O'Malley says the band has gotten better at. Whereas it had been a testy grind — especially a European tour last year that included multiple vehicle breakdowns and an instance when lightning struck the van — O'Malley sounds eager to present Humbug live. “It's exciting because we're playing so much better together,” he says.

As for the lightning: “It was just a really big bang, what you'd expect, I suppose. There was a visual aspect of it. A big bright light.

“But the van is probably one of the safest places to be.”

From: Houston Chronicle

Four years ago, Arctic Monkeys gained almost instant popularity in the UK with Whatever People Say, That’s What I’m Not, and they have atypically tried to fight back, starting with an EP released in 2006 called Who the [expletive] Are Arctic Monkeys? They mocked their own celebrity status, and now they’re bravely fighting the very genres into which they’ve been pigeonholed.

With each album, Arctic Monkeys become weirder and weirder. The English giant’s latest hit, Humbug, sounds more like a B-horror movie soundtrack than a post-punk dance album.

Lead singer Alex Turner has tuned down his vocals to sound more like Joy Division or a British Dracula. Dripping with creepiness, he crows over broken hearts, mingling surreal circus themes with the post-punk scene.

The song “My Propeller” is a quick-paced opener, a song about Turner’s penis. “Cornerstone” and “Crying Lightning” tell the same stories of the dance floor we’ve heard on “Favourite Worst Nightmare,” but now they’re somehow darker and stalker-esque. Becoming borderline-Goth is a strange step for Arctic Monkeys, but it works surprisingly well. Perhaps Arctic Monkeys are fighting their reputation to prove the overnight fame they received, which was well-deserved.
