Alex Turner: "Is anyone else going to bother looking at this camera?" Evidently not.

Last week the Arctic Monkeys previewed their new album Humbug with a special web transmission via the band’s official site. The live stream was closed as soon as it ended so for those that missed out we have a couple of the performances to view, in high definition of course.

Reviewers that have already heard the album say it’s a much more subdued effort from the classically back-biting band, and a huge departure from their first two – extremely successful – records. We’ll be hearing it soon and letting you know our thoughts as soon as we do via the magical medium of twitter.
