“It was a massive record for us. We couldn’t have got to this point without it - it helped us plant the seeds for a fruit tree that yielded juicier plums down the road. Now we’re picking those plums and… they fucking taste great!”

— Alex Turner talking about ‘Humbug’ (via certainromancing)

AM lyrics with Alex Turner’s handwriting

Arctic Monkeys 2005 - 2018

[alexturnerobsession]

“The choice is simple: You can either keep chasing an elusive past, relying on your fans’ nostalgia, or you can press on, keeping your gaze fixed forward. The first option is easier, but Humbug admirably takes the second.” . —THE GUARDIAN, 2009.

“The heroic vision of the Monkeys has culminated in a brooding and dauntingly dark album, which is, from start to finish, their strongest and most accomplished work to date. Perhaps the endless vista of the desert did infiltrate their imaginations, or perhaps they were always destined for greatness. Either way, ‘Humbug’ is a triumph of courage and impudence, and one giant step forward for this country’s most impressive youngsters.” —CLASH MUSIC, 2009.

“Put aside all thoughts of imminent backlash immediately, as Humbug is Arctic Monkeys’ most enjoyably complete album to date [...] They incorporate elements of rock‘n’roll past to fuel a very modern affair, and that it manages to sound completely unique is testament indeed to Turner and company’s cultivated creative nous.” —THE BBC, 2009.

HAPPY 10 YEARS OF HUMBUG (AUGUST 19, 2009).
