Basically, we’re at the border and we’re in deep now. They’ve searched the bus and they’ve found… 16 kilos of dry banana skin. And we’re not going anywhere until they’ve tested every bit and made sure it is indeed banana skin, and not oregano, as the Americans say. THE VIEW FROM… THE TOP BUNK (JULY 7, 2009).

“I smelt your scent on a seatbelt,” he sings on Cornerstone, which may just be the best thing Arctic Monkeys have ever recorded. The lyrics are a dazzling display of what Turner can do: a fabulously witty, poignant evocation of lost love, packed with weirdly suggestive details. The music is a long, wistful acoustic sigh, the melody so effortlessly lovely that you can’t believe no one’s come up with it before.

Fire And The Thud - Arctic Monkeys

“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.
