Suck It and See专辑介绍

NME杂志在2011年1月透露了Arctic Monkeys的新专辑将再度携手《Humbug》时的监制 James Ford,在春季晚些时候发行。Q音乐杂志则称Arctic Monkeys的第四张专辑会比《Humbug》更平易近人化“那感觉就像乐队撩开了之前拉上的窗帘让阳光重新照进屋子”。
Arctic Monkeys花了一年时间在洛杉矶的Sound City 录音棚录制新专辑,在2011年3月4日,他们在官方网站发布了一首由乐队鼓手Matt Helders献声的新歌《Brick by Brick》, Helders也在晚些时候解释说这不是一首正式的新歌,这只是一个预告,乐迷们可以从中感觉第四张专辑的理念。一周后的3月10号,乐队放出消息,新专辑将定名《Suck It and See》于2011年6月6日发行。
新专辑的第一首单曲定名为《Dont’t Sit Down ‘Cause I’ve Moved Your Chair》以下载形式在4月11日发行,一个星期后这支单曲爬到了英国单曲榜第28名。
在专辑发行前的一星期,乐队在官网放出了整张专辑的试听,让乐迷们听后再决定是否购买。这一决定显然没有影响他们的专辑发售成绩,传统依旧,当天空降排行榜冠军。这个记录也让他们成为英国历史上第二只四张专辑都称冠的乐队。
乐队宣布《The Hellcat Spangled Shalalala》为专辑里的第二首发行的单曲。因为当时发生的伦敦骚乱,唱片库存被烧了一大半。8月14日乐队在网站上发行了该单曲的7寸黑胶限量版唱片。可惜单曲在排行榜上发挥不佳,只进入前200。2011年9月专辑同名歌曲《Suck It and See》发布MV, 鼓手Matt Helders亲自出演,《Suck It and See》也在之后被作为单曲发行。

Suck It and See is the fourth studio album by English indie rock band Arctic Monkeys, released 6 June 2011 in the UK and 7 June in the US, following their 2011 North American tour. The band worked with producer James Ford on this album and promised a more "vintage" style. The music video for "Brick by Brick" was released shortly before the album details were revealed on 10 March. Drummer Matt Helders, however, confirmed that "Brick by Brick" will not be the lead single. On 19 March 2011, in an interview with NME, Helders revealed that Suck It and See will feature "some songs a bit more instant. A bit more poppy, certainly, than Humbug was."
It was revealed on 30 March that three thousand vinyl copies of "Don't Sit Down 'Cause I've Moved Your Chair" would be released worldwide by the band as part of Record Store Day on 16 April. The following day it was confirmed on the band's official website that the track would be the album's lead single and that it would be available with B-sides "The Blond-O-Sonic Shimmer Trap" and "I.D.S.T." from 30 May.
The track "Piledriver Waltz" was first released on Alex Turner's debut EP, Submarine, where it was credited to Turner as a solo artist. The version included on Suck It and See is a re-recording with the whole band involved.
Initially believed to be a non-album single, though later added to the band's 5th album AM, "R U Mine?" was released with B-side "Electricity" on a 7" record for Record Store Day 2012, signifying there will be no more singles from Suck It and See.
