Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded in Los Angeles, 'Suck It and See' finds the Arctic Monkeys exploring a sunnier, more melodic sound. The guitars are jangly and shimmering, influenced by 60s pop and vintage psychedelia. Alex Turner's lyrics are romantic and playful, showing a softer side to the band's usual swagger.
