Once again, a new Arctic Monkeys album is lost on me. While some may find the band’s easygoing rock instrumentation and singer-songwriter Alex Turner’s supposedly clever and humorous lyricism to be entertaining, AM is just another move closer toward making the most cold, calculated, and tame rock music
