The band’s initials, a new morning, an analogue radio frequency and an existential statement – the title of Arctic Monkeys’ fifth album suggests all of those things and more. And the record itself lives up to this pithily resonant billing by being, in drummer Matt Helders’ typically forthright estimation, “the album we’ve always been waiting to make”.
One of the finest rock ‘n’ roll (the roll is important) albums of the last decade or so.
