Arctic Monkeys

In a year with a great influx of new talent, we had supergroups, new solo projects, emerging metalcore acts, rising alt-rock heroes and more capturing our attention in 2006.

Some of the biggest hits ever.

September is traditionally the month where the biggest releases of the year are issued. So what rock + metal albums have left their marks on the ninth month?

Less than a year after releasing their 2006 debut album, Arctic Monkeys were back in the studio, pounding out a follow-up.

Don't hold your breath waiting for the Arctic Monkeys' long-awaited follow up to 2013's 'AM.'

Intrinsically millennial and unapologetically fun, the Arctic Monkeys' debut album exceeded the British outfit's considerable (and deserved) hype.

'Post Pop Depression' is billed solely as an Iggy Pop album, but also features contributions by members of QOTSA, the Dead Weather and Arctic Monkeys.
