Arctic Monkeys "Suck it and See"

Has this band really gone soft? Why don't you Suck It and See? Alex Turner starts with a croon that is worn well on the opening track. 'She's Thunderstorms,' pounding drums, a taste of nostalgic brit-rock(Will I be speared?). I like the lyrical aspect of "Black Treacle," and then there is the We're going to critique this disc 'Brick by Brick.' I'm probably too lazy for that, but it has been said that this is one of their best tracks on this disc. The song is full of energy, the croon works well with the classic hard rock/blues vibe(no post-grunge dirge) with a slight taste of psychedelia (maybe not...but the harmonies and the riffs confuse me cause I'm a dumb---). Oh, and even though there is not much to offer lyrically, the rest of the attributes much outweigh the cons. The bass is not afraid to bring out his soft shoes for 'The Hellcat Spangled Shalala' as the driving rhythm is a fine dancing partner and the distortion is a little too afraid to ask the bass for a dance y comes here and there. Are you tired? The dancing was not that intense, and was only a couple of minutes. Just wait a second please, "Don't Sit Down Cause I've Moved Your Chair." The boys seemed to have descended into the devil's lair, or their tuning has at least, trying to monitor the macarena, as the lyrics remain snarky but respective of their hosts, because who wants to tick off their own demons? Usually libraries creates pictures the intellectual, quiet, introspective, (some may even say boring), and many other adjectives you would like to add. But These "Library Pictures" only agree with the first word, as well as rambunctious, fun, energizing,and indecisive as they shift moods and grooves first starting with a laidback rhythm. I write all my own shizz, and I do "All My Own Stunts" (not that I've really had to do much, but still) The guitars seem to be fearless of the spotlight and drums, but just because the bass is a little shy does not mean that it does not have any influence.The bass with the first lineTturner sings seems to sound like a 'Reckless Serenade' to  lithium, and then "those twinkling vixens with the shining spiral eyes" change my point of view (I'm talking about those beautiful guitar notes). The "Piledriver Waltz" is the lyrics and the music respectively; he writes some snappy lyrics without being rude, and relaying them in a calm manner. WHat about the title track? You may never know, but "That's not a skirt girl that's a sawed off shotgun/And I can only hope you've got it aimed at me." Girls, and what they do to you, all different kinds, and how they make a fool outta you is what this song is about. If you think I loved this record "That's Where You're Wrong," but I did not despise it."You're not the only one/That time's got it in for honey" might be one of the best lines in the song.My favorites: She's Thunderstorms, Black Treacle, The Hellcat Spangled Shalala, Library Pictures, and Reckless Serenade.
