Announcing a new album is always an exciting time for an artist.  All the work put in, all the time; it finally gets recognized. For Arctic Monkeys it’s a big deal. In a year where they have all sorts of ground to cover they’ve revealed the cover art, the song order and tour dates. but this album has a ways to go before. But before you get roused into something you don’t want, remember it’s available for preorder. Out on before it’s October 21st date, it should be all it’s cracked up to be and more.
