Arctic Monkeys To Release Third Album This Year

If a report in today’s Daily Star is to be believed, Arctic Monkeys are planning to release their third album this year.

Alex Turner and co. are apparently busy at work in a London studio recording the follow-up to ‘Favourite Worst Nightmare’ and are intent on making it a hattrick of albums in just three years.

A ‘source’ said: “A lot of people were surprised to see Arctics at the Brits as it’s usually the kind of event they steer clear of.

“The reason they went is because they’ve been down in London working on new material and fancied a night off to relax.

“Alex is overflowing with song ideas and it’s all going so well they’re looking at releasing an album this year.”

If that’s not enough to satisfy Arctic Monkeys aficionados, Alex Turner’s album with The Rascals’ Miles Kane, ‘The Last Shadow Puppets’, hits the shelves on April 21.

Thanks for the info to Gigwise.c.

I love their brits speach, look it up on youtube! LOL
Anyway, good news, i like the arctics.
And....1st...AGAIN!!!

[mattyp90]

I can tell this article is gonna get a load of "3 albums is 3 years is too much!" comments.

It might be too much if they've rushed it, but as long as it stays a natural process, it's far more ridiculous for bands to hold back album releases even though they're ready, than to release every album as it comes.

[frankv]

I'm glad there still are bands that maintain this pace of album releasing. I hate 3-year-long gaps between albums.

[AFrozenFlame89]

Awesome! Their first two albums were phenomenal. I hope their third is as well.

Three albums in three years isn't too fast to make great music, look at the Beatles. (Not that I'm comparing them to the Beatles)

[AVIDFANOFSOUNDS]

Well its better than the RHCPs output

Not that I'm comparing them to the Beatles

thats good

[Cal UK]

"If a report in today’s Daily Star is to be believed" Well, at least it's not Gibson.com

True, but then again the Peppers did release their albums on a more frequent basis during their early days. But then again they weren't really as famous as the Artics after their debut album and yet they're still very productive... wonder how long they'll be able to keep it up

[AEnima18]

Sounds like mr turner is overflowing with ideas, this will be interesting.

Arctic Monkeys are **** - the reason they are 'overflowing with ideas' is because the songs are so simple and easy to write - I'm so bored of this British 'rock' scene at the moment. All the bands sound the same with their stupid regional dialects and simple chord progressions. dull guitar, simple bass, extrememly crappy drums and awful singing. Are they famous in the States or something? Im from Britain and everyone raves about this sort of music here... the sooner this trend is over the better in my opinion. sorry to anyone who likes them :

I wouldn't call them shit. True, their first album mostly contained chord progression and simple chords but it was all extremely catchy music. And their second album was so much more experimental, which according to your post would be a good thing. The drummer is a beast, one of the best new drummers of the last 5 years. The lyrics ain't bad either. I don't mind you hating them, but at least use some valid arguments.

[jamie_hough]

'The drummer is a beast, one of the best new drummers of the last 5 years.'

hmmmmm....

[elcapitan1800]

Awesome, Im a big fan. So damn catchy. Well, I will definitely be looking forward to this one. Not as much as I am to a new Muse album though...

[ibikinz]

cool, not a huge fan by them of them but still as long as there h appy im happy"

[metalisimortal]

i love this band so much. great to see that they're writing a new album!

If their songs are so simple, why don't you write some. I don't mean to offend, but I do get tired of people underrating a simple song. It's very hard to write a good simple song. Arctic Monkeys are the shot in the ass that rock needs right now.

[whitestrat279]

Yeah and look at hendrix, are you experienced came out in may 1967 then axis: bold as love came out in december 1967. And their old bassist was good on the dirst album, not complicated licks, but better then just playing the root note

urgh another metalhead... i dare you to make a song as simple and catchy as their songs and top the uk charts

[Jenky]

its the daily star. ignore it.

[Noverion]

i think theyre a great band, second album is very good, vert experinemtnal some strange chord progressions, and theyre songs have some of the best lyrics around, clever. Their drummer is bloody mental though, one of the best new drummers around i'd say. Hope they step it up for this album though, the first two were good, but i'd like to see a bit more diversity.

All this troll does is suck off Hammet. Kinda funny.

I don't mind the Arctic Monkeys, but they're not as insanely talented as idiots like NME make them out to be.

...isn't Metallica a band still? I agree with this statement-Metallica hasn't sounded like they've had talent since their first four albums.

And Arctic Monkeys rock

I actually like their rythm section. A lot.
Their first album was good, their second album was better. I personally don't have high expectations. I have a feeling it will be a Favorite Worst Nightmare Part 2. Hopefully not.

[soupdragon]

Why is a Metallica fan posting here?

Anyway, great to hear bout the new album (not hoding breath cos it's the daily star, but still) and Turner's side project.

[Toadstool5]

The guy in the picture looks like Jim Carrey a bit

[tamargoguitar]

the title sounds like they released the other 2 albums in 2008

[benjidude945]

Yeah that's true
Jeez, sounds like a lot of people just hate them because they actually succeeded in being a good band and becoming successful. They're grumpy because their favorite band hasn't done so for over a decade and the Monkeys are fresh talent. True, they have far from the most original sound but they do it better than many other bands can do. Their clever lyrics and great guitarwork (drums also) propel many of their songs to insanely catchy heights. For a band like the Arctic Monkeys, who constantly releases quality materal in the form of b-sides, I have no worries they'll pull off a solid thrid album, possibly even a great one. Hell, they did it on their first two and about 10 other singles so how can they miss?

just because some songs are simple dosn't make it bad, some of the best music is very simple also artic monkey hater why r u reading this? jealous much?

Checked.

[Garf72]

i love the monkeys, who gives a flying **** if its simple. just cos the musics simple doesnt mean its good and vice versa.
the lyrics are brilliant and the use of regional accents is a reaction to everyone singing like they're from california for the past 50 years

[Wiped_out]

about bloody time a band got it right. These guys are making kick ass music and making it at a steady rate. Back in the day bands used to release two albums in one year! Good musicians can crank out the tunes. And the Arctic Monkeys make A+ songs.

If you take three years to make an album, it better be the best bloody work of the decade and by complex as hell with deep, insperational lyrics (Pink Floyd). Unfortunatly, this does not hold true and I find myself waiting long periods of time for crap albums.

Last arctic monkey album certainly uped their debut and I only hope they pull it off again with this one.

[gromit13]

Im fecking sick of people calling Arctic Monkeys shite.
If they are so shite how come they are on album number three and getting bigger.
How come the won the Mercury music prize.
If they're songs are so ****ing simple on guitar bass etc why dont more people sound like the arctic monkeys.

And whatever dickhead sed all these bands with their regional accents. what part of britain are you from mate. everyone has a regional accent you twat!!!

[gromit13]

and to further that why dont you all just go and make songs that sound good and have a number one album and all tht.

You cant do it.

Oh and there's nothing wrong with metal...i like metal but dont slag off indie and 'rock' coz it's just as good.
stop being scene and broaden your musical taste

[customisbetter]

i personally hate kirk hammet and find his music to be quite lame. now don't misunderstand me, i mean that he doesn't seem like he tries that hard to write diverse music, especially solos. just wail on a three note sweep while stomping on a wah and youve got hammet. but that is his style and sound, i just wish that he would try other stuff more often. the monkeys do have talent because they put everything they have into every song they write. im sure that if turner had the ability to pull off a crazy legato sweep in the middle of a section with a crazy lead drum fill, then he would. oh and turner sings as well as write pretty fricken good lyrics. so please no more metallica stuff in here.

I take it you've never heard "When the Sun Goes Down," "From the Ritz to the Rubble" or "The View From the Afternoon."

Simplicity is simplicity. It doesn't necessarily make things boring. I've heard hundreds of extensive basslines that are nowhere near as interesting as those on their early material, most notably "A Certain Romance" and "Bigger Boys and Stolen Sweethearts."
It's simple, I'll give you that. But if a bassline or fill fits the song and sounds good, what difference does complexity make?

KIRK shall strike you down for saying this. he can do that because he is a god. and dont talk about his solos like you know anything about guitar. because obviously you dont. the only solo you've probably heard is enter sandman. i can name about thirty KIRK HAMMETT solos that anyone making music now could only dream of one day being able to play

writing a worthwhile solo is far more important than being able to play faster than the next guitarist.

Thank god you realize how hard it is to write a simple song.

[RyanMcCartney]

Alex Turner is a witty lyricist. I was a fan of the first Demo's that were kicking around, and the first album. Though I think they grew old really fast.

You can see how they've progressed as musicians in their music, after all, they had only been playing their instruments for about a year or so before they made it, so they're rather talented.

They're not really my cup of tea, but I respect them as musicains.....

.... and that was my 2 cents! lol

[RyanMcCartney]

Oh, and the simplest of songs are the hardest to write.

[The_Rant]

iv'e often wondered why the Arctic Monkeys sections in the recent news always seem to be populated by angry metalheads complaining that the band are crap and (insert metal vurtuoso/guitar wanking overcompensator) are so much better. Sneaky11, get a life, if you cant do that, stick to the articles about the bands you actually care and know something about.

[matthewinoz]

yay

i think bands like wolfmother should really take leaf out of the arctics book!

wolf mother what you may ask?
my point exactly

So you can name 30 Metallica songs big woop.
Im a Metallica fan and i still think most of his solos sound the same. That doesnt mean they're not good, just the same.

I wish some people would just stop slating other music because they dont like it. Because clearly a lot of people do like arctic monkeys so they arent really shit are they.

oh and as for wolfmother...great point. when the hell are they gunna do something lol

Arctic Monkeys are NOT Indie Rock.

I blame touring. All the famous bands want to tour the entire world for every album. Why don't they just do Europe with the occasional show in the US for the first album, then record another album and do a full North America/Japan tour with the occasional European show?

[frankv]

Oh, I forgot something. There would be more time to write new material and produce a better album.

he does play different things. hence load and reload were failed. he plays metal. thats all he can do and i love him for it. he doesnt write much in the way of metallica stuff either. what he does write tends to be the more emotive less generic metal stuff (i think, but i cant remember). i like metallica for metal. if they started playing blues i would smack lars in the tit. i like artic monkeys playing what they play. simple rock. its the same as emo punk, but the lyrics dont suck and the chord patterns arent (usually) as simple. plus you can tell its not all chord patterns in artic monkeys. they just use chords as the main part instead of riffs. and alex turner's lyrics are very observant of the public.

because then we aussies miss out . you can still record on tour. led zeppelin did it for LedZepII. that album was made in about 4 days during a US tour. i think most bands just dont feel the pressure to do that or cant out put material at that speed. with alot of bands its hard to write material relevant to your audience as you age and mature. most punk bands crash in their late 20's because its not practical to go around telling teenagers that parents suck when you are one.

[ckmma]

I think Arctic monkeys are good at what they do, but I think they are a bit overated. I'm more of a nu rave fan that an indie fan, I'm actually a metal fan, but I like my lighter cheeier stuff, and arctic monekys is probably the only guitar stuff your going to hear at raves. Their drummer is quite good, hes a nice guy too, I accidently spilled milk on him at drummer live when I was making coffee, and he wasn't too pissed off... Alex turner lyrics are great though, there quite different, his voice isn't the best but it suits the music well.

[ChucklesMginty]

Yeah... Says the Daily Star...

[guitarman341]

I think the Monkeys are a great new band. Their first album was great and there was doubts that the second could reach the first's level and then we found that the second was even better. They are really nice guys and the drummer is amazing.

[nathantayloryes]

not my favourite band but i still think theyre pretty good. I dont really like this indie trend at the moment but a few good bands have come out of it, like arctic monkeys. hes a great songwriter in my opinion, unique lyrics, and who says that instrument parts have to be difficult to play in order for them to be good? smoke on the water (deep purple) has one of the most reckognisable guitar parts ever, and its piss easy to play, same with the bassline for another one bites the dust (queen)

[thethroesss]

Theyre not really about of any indie trend at all. They are from the UK, not from a chic club in new york. but yeah, youre right unique lyrics .....and theyre one of the most original bands in the whole wide world. yay!

As much as I LOVE The Killers, that was one of the funniest things I've read all day. Kudos to you, good sir.

Personally I find that too many people are putting too many labels on music. It's MUSIC. It's meant to be appreciated as a form of art, not classified and ragged on because of the technical prowess or lack thereof that goes into each song. Love music for what it is. It's like criticizing Jackson Pollock for not being as technical with his paintings as Rembrandt. It's still transcended time and touched SOMEONE'S life. Every genre of music has its own pros and cons. Stop bickering.

Sneaky, simply put, you a a moron.
First off, I'm a huge Metallica fan. And I know for a fact that Kirk's solos are not that technical, because I can play most of them, and I'm not an amazing guitarist. You obviously know nothing of music. Just cuase a band like the Arctic Monkeys doesn't play with a ton of distortion doesn't make them bad. They are a totally different style than Metallica. Their music isn't supposed to be fast and heavy, it's supposed to be melodic. I bet your just some 13 year old kid who has heard a few Metallica songs and says he knows everything about them. And does your ability to name 30 Hammett solos make you an expert? NO! So go back to listening to the Black album and pretend you know what your talking about.

wtf are you talking about? i said to that kid that the only solos he probably knew was enter sandman because people that dont know anything about metallica tend to have heard songs of the black album. im 19 actually and have been a die hard fan of metallica for a really long time. so dont tell me i dont know anything about them. and you say you can play most of his solos. you probably dont know anything about metallica and can lay the easier solos of them after they conformed to change their music a little bit (aka the black album). I would really like to see you try and play the solos of Fade to Black, Ride the Lightning, One. ect. or have you not even heard of those songs you poser

[jshizznit]

where the hell does metallica come in on this damn thing

lol anyways radiohead is way better than arctic monkeys

[prplhazed]

this sneaky guys great....im nothing like a metallica or even much of a metal fan, but i know most of those songs you mentioned :/

ontopic: Arctic monkeys are a solid band, but a little overhyped

[customisbetter]

truthfully, ill take metallica over radiohead.(i heard muse first, sorry)
but back to the point, metallica is great for what they do; loud, hard, and great, metal. but comparing kirk hammet to turner was just wrong and i wanted to point that out to sneaky. Also, stop the ad hominem. i am quite aware that alot of us can't play kirks solos. so bravo for that accomplishment and stop critizing bands that don't conform to your genre. thats why they are there, to separate different peoples taste in music.
also, +1 to anybody how has a proper education and understands what ad hominem is.

[AVIDFANOFSOUNDS]

why does everyone have to categorize music if you like it, like it does it really matter what genre it is in?

[soapalot]

Why can't good bands release albums with the same frequency as Arctic Monkeys?

First off, I'm a huge Metallica fan. And I know for a fact that Kirk's solos are not that technical, because I can play most of them, and I'm not an amazing guitarist. You obviously know nothing of music. Just cuase a band like the Arctic Monkeys doesn't play with a ton of distortion doesn't make them bad. They are a totally different style than Metallica. Their music isn't supposed to be fast and heavy, it's supposed to be melodic. I bet your just some 13 year old kid who has heard a few Metallica songs and says he knows everything about them. And does your ability to name 30 Hammett solos make you an expert? NO! So go back to listening to the Black album and pretend you know wh

ok...first off YAY. I do enjoy these guys. So fair play to them if they can keep up the great tunes for a third album in 3 years.... which is quite fast compared to some bands... ie RHCP... my favourite band ever an ill let them off the slow recording times etc...but all in all... find someone whos faster than Frusciante.. 6 albums in 6 months..THATS special!!

And metallica are lovely.... but Sneaky11....SHH. you clearly don't belong here. This is an article about the Arctic Monkeys not how many solos one strange old man can play in a million songs that all sound similar

Arctic Monkeys are **** - the reason they are 'overflowing with ideas' is because the songs are so simple and easy to write - I'm so bored of this British 'rock' scene at the moment. All the bands sound the same with their stupid regional dialects and simple chord progressions. dull guitar, simple bass, extrememly crappy drums and awful singing. Are they famous in the States or something? Im from Britain and everyone raves about this sort of music here... the sooner this trend is over the better in my opinion. sorry to anyone who likes them :[/quote]

Why do you think arctic monkeys suck, when they are in your 'favourite'-bands list, are you schizophrenic ?

On topic: When will it be, at the end of the year? before the big festivals? hmmmm...

[killboypowerhed]

quit whining about it being too simple. Non musicians like it a lot because all they care about is lyrics. and the arctic monkeys are damn good lyric-ers.

i think its lyricists. or you were joking, in that case, bravo.

Arctic Monkeys To Release Third Album This Year

wow, 3 albums!? And it's only march!

[life_247]

For the kirk hammet comments above, metallica's new material on the whole has been irrelevant in well over 15 years.

no bands these days have any talent. but you wanna know who has talent.....KIRK HAMMETT!!!!!

if NO BANDS have any talent, that would contradict what you said about kirk hammett/ metallica having talent, as metallica currently is still an existing band, these days.

self pwnage anyone?

[hugoow]

yeah, arctic monkeys has made the best albums of 2006, 2007 and definitly in 2008.. can't wait..

[RickGardiner]

I love their one album a year... And an EP in between never hurts too right?

I hope they keep the same direction as Favourite Worst Nightmare, without trying to keep it the same.
