NME reported in January 2011 that Arctic Monkeys are teaming up with producer James Ford once again, and will be releasing their fourth studio album in late spring at the earliest. Q magazine reported that the fourth Arctic Monkeys album will be of a 'more accessible vintage' than Humbug.

Arctic Monkeys have been confirmed as headliners for the Benicassim Festival 2011 along side The Strokes, Arcade Fire and Primal Scream. They have also been confirmed for Oxegen and one of the biggest festivals of Europe, Rock Werchter.

Arctic Monkeys confirmed on the 7th February that they are playing the Don Valley Bowl in Sheffield on June 10th and June 11th, support include Miles Kane, Anna Calvi, The Vaccines, Dead Sons and Mabel Love. This does hint towards a possible release date for the fourth album.

Arctic Monkeys - Criticism and Controversy

Former Depeche Mode keyboardist Alan Wilder, describing the state of the music industry in an article for Side-Line magazine, used the Arctic Monkeys as an example in his criticism of the use of dynamic range compression in modern recording techniques, calling the song "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor", "a bombardment of the most unsubtle, one-dimensional noise".

The release of the EP Who the Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys? just three months after their record-breaking debut album has been criticised by some, who have seen it as "money-grabbing" and "cashing in on their success". Arctic Monkeys countered that they regularly release new music not to make money, but to avoid the "boredom" of "spending three years touring on one album".

The cover sleeve of Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, showing Chris McClure, a friend of the band smoking a cigarette, was criticised by the head of the NHS in Scotland for "reinforcing the idea that smoking is OK". The image on the CD itself is a shot of an ashtray full of cigarettes. The band's product manager denied the accusation, and suggested the opposite — "You can see from the image smoking is not doing him the world of good.

Arctic Monkeys - Humbug

Arctic Monkeys recorded a total of 24 songs; 12 in the Rancho De La Luna recording sessions with Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age in early autumn, 2008, and 12 in the New York sessions with James Ford in spring, 2009, following their January tour of New Zealand and Australia. During this tour, lead single Crying Lightning, along with Humbug songs "Pretty Visitors", "Dangerous Animals", and "Potion Approaching" (then known as "Go-Kart"), was debuted live. It was later revealed by Matt Helders in a video diary that the album would consist of 14 tracks and that Alex Turner would stay in New York to oversee the mixing of the material. However, the final tracklisting, revealed on 1 June 2009, listed only 10.

In a preview article on ClashMusic.com, writer Simon Harper claimed that the band had "completely defied any expectations or presumptions to explore the depths they can reach when stepping foot outside their accepted styles", and that "Turner is his usual eloquent self, but has definitely graduated into an incomparable writer whose themes twist and turn through stories and allegories so potent and profound it actually leaves one breathless". On the same site, Alex Turner revealed that the band had listened to Nick Cave, Jimi Hendrix and Cream while writing the new album, the title of the which would be Humbug. As announced on the Arctic Monkeys website the first single was "Crying Lightning", released on 6 July, digitally through iTunes and also received its first radio premiere on the same day. On 12 July 2009, the single "Crying Lightning" debuted at number 12 in the UK Singles Chart and number 1 on the UK Indie Chart. The second single, "Cornerstone", was released on 16 November 2009 to much critical acclaim, but failed to replicate the same success that every prior Arctic Monkeys single had, reaching a peak at position 94 on the UK singles chart. It was announced in February 2010 that the 3rd single to be taken from Humbug would be "My Propeller", released on 22 March, shortly before a one off UK show at the Royal Albert Hall in support on the Teenage Cancer Trust on 27 March.
