Arctic Monkeys' full-length due June 6
(CBS) Oh, those cheeky Monkeys.
Arctic Monkeys announced Thursday that its new album, "Suck It and See" (and that's really the title, seriously), will be released June 6, 2011, on CD, vinyl and as a digital download.

"Suck It and See" features 12 new songs and was produced by James Ford.
Arctic Monkeys' first album, "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not," was released in January 2006 to massive acclaim. The hook-heavy record even placed fifth on NME's "100 greatest British albums" list the same week it was released.
Considering its been saddled with being the savior of rock 'n' roll, Arctic Monkeys has fared well in the record department. "Favourite Worst Nightmare" definitely felt like a sophomore slump but "Humbug" was better received and just plain better.
