Listen to Arctic Monkeys' Pithy, Energetic 'Suck It and See'

This stream is no longer available.

The Arctic Monkeys' fourth album Suck It and See finds the British rockers developing the nuances of their sound without sacrificing their youthful energy or becoming self-consciously "mature." (Then again, how "mature" could an album called Suck It and See possibly be?) Frontman Alex Turner is still one of the most clever rock lyricists of his generation, but this time around he's dropped the wordiness of their earlier songs in favor of a more droll approach to his observational humor. Suck It and See will hit stores on June 7th, but you can stream the entire album now.

“Let My Love Open the Door”

Pete Townshend | 1980

A peppy, hopeful love song, "Let My Love Open the Door" became a U. S. Top Ten hit for Pete Townshend in 1980, anchored by the kind of repeating synthesizer figures that he'd used in some of the Who's recordings in the previous decade. Although Townshend brushed the song off as "just a ditty" in Rolling Stone shortly after its release, in 1996 he revealed it was about love of the holiest sort. "It's supposed to be about the power of God's love," he remarked. "That when you're in difficulty, whether it's major or minor, God's love is always there for you."
