Review: Arctic Monkeys – Humbug

English rock band Arctic Monkeys first burst onto the scene with their hugely successful second single “I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor” in 2005. Four years and two studio albums later, the band has released their third album “Humbug”. The album went straight to the top of the charts within the first week of its release in Ireland and the UK. Steering clear from their pop-punk roots which helped propel them into stardom, “Humbug” surprises fans with its dark sounds and heavier lyrics. While the band is to be applauded for taking a risk with this album, it is simply missing the spark and energy that we have come to know and love Arctic Monkeys for.
