Released in 2009, the album features the singles 'Crying Lightning', 'Cornerstone' and 'My Propeller', and represents a departure from the punk-influenced sound of the band's first two albums.

The band consists of Alex Turner (vocals, guitar, piano), Jamie Cook (guitar), Nick O'Malley (backing vocals, bass) and Matt Helders (drums, vocals). Encased in a beautifully designed sleeve, the Humbug vinyl record displays the refined art indicative of its era, reflecting the collage-style artwork that enhances the feel and vibe of the music. Homme doesn't imprint his own views on the Monkeys but encourages them to follow their strange instincts, whether it's a Nick Cave obsession or the inclination to emphasize atmosphere over energy. Former Dodgems bassist Nick O'Malley was initially brought in as a stand-in, and played the band's remaining summer commitments. It's not just a product; it is an artifact from a significant moment in music history, embracing the charm, sound quality, and allure that only a vinyl record can offer.Grade: B+, "Arctic Monkeys collect their darkest impulses and put them on stark display; it's another massive step forward in a career that seems marked for greatness. The single "Leave Before The Lights Come On" came out on August 14th, but only reached Number 4 on the UK charts, denying the band a third consecutive number 1 single. The vinyl bearer of music is a tribute to the astonishingly subtle shifts and clever techniques that make Arctic Monkeys a truly exceptional ensemble. It is still full to the brim though, of Alex Turner's lyrical dexterity and the band's catchy melodies, particularly on 'Cornerstone' which would become one of their classic pieces of northern English storytelling.

The band owe much of their success to viral buzz via the Internet, and have eschewed typical 'commercial' channels, including refusing to appear on the UK's (now discontinued) Top Of The Pops music program, which was often seen as a gateway to success.
