Humbug

Arctic Monkeys
Released 2009Alternative & Indie
ClassicPicked by a lifelong record collector

A darker, heavier desert-rock pivot. Bold and acclaimed. A turning point. Released in 2009, it's a key entry in Arctic Monkeys's run.

On vinyl: Vinyl can be scarcer than the CD from this era, so it's worth looking for a recent repressing.
