This is not a young monkey that learns new tricks

After two brit-pop-rock albums that speak directly to the legs, the Arctic Monkeys come back in a much wiser album, the sound heavy. The cause of this change? The presence of Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age.
Yet it is James Ford (producer of the previous album) which opens the dance with My Propeller, one of the best songs on a sound already-Hommien Josh. The sound is launched immediately: there will be bass, heavy guitars, but everything will be more ambient than dancing. Subsequently, James Ford will be found on Secret Door, good song that looks good but some of the rest of the album as Josh Homme grabbed the album.
Sound Queens of the Stone Age, Josh Homme brings nervousness content, heavy side of heavy metal but not the metal side (it is grateful). And surprisingly, the youngsters Arctic Monkeys adopt very well what his, especially as the voice of Alex Turner comes to bring pop into this mixture, a sweetness in a brutal sound, a breath of wind in an arid desert.
The compositions are the hair, it takes some songs quite quickly in chorus, we feel that the monkeys are made extremely fun, and it is transmitted through listening.
On the opening song, James Ford had made Josh Homme, so it is perfectly normal that the album concludes with a Josh Homme Production recalling James Ford: The Jeweller's Hands is a gem.
Meanwhile, it has had a chance to hear Alison Mosshart of the Kills very very very good piece The Fire and the Thud, but a thousand little details that make this album pretty exciting.
