A stunning new level of intelligent, love-steeped songcraft.

The Arctic Monkeys of 2011 have produced, probably by a significant margin, the best British Rock 'n' Roll album you will hear this year.

Suck It And See is an almost seamless step forward, reaffirming the notion that the band’s shelf life is probably much longer than initially estimated.

This is another intriguing evolution for one of the country's great bands, and a shot in the arm for Britain's rather moribund 'indie guitar' scene.

Suck it and See is a thorough success imbued with the very same spirit, reflecting the boys’ widely expanded palette while successfully working in everything they did so well in their yester-album.

Alex Turner and his bandmates are clearly expanding their abilities and getting better at focusing their fire with every release.

Suck It and See, the Arctics' fourth and most rewarding album so far, is not music to blog to.

By the impeccably high standards they've set so far it ranks as a good rather than great album.

Alex Turner really shows his hand as a compelling songwriter on SIAS. There is not a whole lot in the way of interesting songs, but a lot of great uninteresting songs.
The fatal goodbye kiss to the once enjoyable band that was Arctic Monkeys, as they embark on their quest to become the kings of tumblr.
The good songs carry it but it's their weakest album
Favourite Tracks: She's Thunderstorms, Don't Sit Down 'Cause I've Moved Your Chair, Library Pictures
Worst Track: any between 7-10
It feels exactly like what it is - a transition between Humbug and AM. It's much better than AM but lacks the feeling that made Humbug so special. Overall it's still a very solid record.
If you like your music to be thoroughly uninteresting this is the album for you if you listen to music for entertainment I would avoid this project.
