Arctic Monkeys "Humbug"

First album produced by Josh Homme of QOTSA, Them Crooked Vulltures, and Eagles of Death Metal has their sound become mores atmospheric and dark. "My Propeller" has this nice key loop spinning round and round in the air, but "...my propeller/It's aneccessary evil/no cause for emergency/borrow the beak of a bald eagle." This solo has me "Crying Lightning," and running under a tree never felt so stupid as it does now, but there was no lightning lie the wolf that was not there until he got the message. Lions, Tigers, Wolverines,  Bears, Rhinos,Wolves, and more can be "Dangerous Animals, " but this song has us spelling out the song with this driving rythym. A "Secret Door" has this dance beat and these atmospheric keys, that stop for a short couple seconds "and all the fools on parade cavort and carry on for waiting eyes/ one you would rather be beside than in front of." A "Potion Approaching" the cowbells, toward the end and then the bass ismad-or isthat a guitar i don'tknow but just leavemeso. "Fire and the Thud" is nice depending on where the firewas headed, and why, but fires aren't usually friendly, and a thud means someone fell and got hurt. This pounding beat, and that tempo change with a little trumpet squeal. At the "Cornerstone," I just will stay and think of that hurt that may be broken, but refuses to be beaten;"You Can Call Me Anything You Want" but emontionaless is not a trait of mine."Dance Little Liar" to that surf-guitar reverb and the tika-ti-tacka. so short, but I had to prepare for the "Pretty Visitors" who don't give me too much time to prepare. I start playing a little organ and then they just bombard with this quick beat, I try to slow it down, and they refuse to listen. This bass and beat are wearing me down. I try one more time to play organ, but they just play that cymbal and guitar louder, and now they they pummel me at the last minute with this short, fast beat and pound those drums.Be careful of beautiful people because they mayhave an ugly, unforgiving inside. "The Jeweller's Hand" plays as a video effect has my full body, in clothing of course, spinning; as I am in an unconscious state of mind, but I write this as the ide has awaken me. IfIHadToChoose7SongsIWould Choose:  My Propeller, Dangerous Animals, Secret Door, Potion Approaching, Cornerstone, Dance Little Liar, Pretty Visitors.
