<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Georgia","serif"">This is Arctic Monkeys FIFTH album and shaping up to be their most popular. Preceded by a trifecta of blistering singles “<b>R U Mine?”</b>, “<b>Do I Wanna Know?”</b> and “<b>Why’d
You Only Call Me When You’re High?</b>” <b><i>AM </i></b>comes two years after the release of their lauded
<b><i>Suck it and See </i></b>LP.<i> </i>Those two years saw Arctic Monkeys enjoy some of their most widespread success to date; including their first State side arena tour with The Black Keys in 2012 and another headline slot of the world’s biggest music festival,
Glastonbury in the UK, in June 2013. Huge crowd pleaser “<b>R U Mine</b>” now has over 13 million YouTube views. “<b>Do I Wanna Know?”</b> has almost 11 million while the newly released “<b>Why’d You Only Call Me When You’re High</b>?” has hit the 3.5 million
in just three weeks.</span></p>

<b>Ian Shea</b> (Coldplay, John Mayer) and mixed by multi-Grammy Award winner <b>
Tchad Blake </b>(Elvis Costello, The Black Keys). <b>Josh Homme</b>, <b>Pete Thomas</b> and
<b>Bill Ryder Jones</b> all make guest appearances on <b><i>AM</i></b><i> </i>– as do the words of
