    The Arctic Monkeys' Hollywood noir record: slowed to a prowl, slicked with falsetto and Sabbath-via-Dre low end. "Do I Wanna Know?" gave them a second global life, and Turner's lounge-lizard persona never slips. Less giddy than the Sheffield records, far more seductive — the rare mid-career reinvention that stuck.
