light and airy, filmic but intimate, carefully arranged but deceptively powerful, 'suck it and see' is arctic monkeys' fourth album. recorded at sound city studios in los angeles with long-time producer / collaborator james ford, it has a summery pop feel, with the bulk of work completed on the west coast. retaining only a modicum of the heaviness of 'humbug', 'suck it and see' sees arctic monkeys in major chord, classic songwriting territory once more.
