Just as furiously sarcastic as the earlier tracks, these middle songs are all the more powerful for their understated arrangements. “Fluorescent” opens with a call-and-response between two guitars, reminiscent of wide-eyed ’60s pop, but the Arctic Monkeys are anything but innocent. Their three-minute tirade against a trashy girl who hides her flaws behind a façade of respectability is brilliantly hateful, with a smooth melody and tight lyrics (“You used to get it in your fishnets / Now you only...

...times in the ring, will square off on May 5 in Las Vegas for the super welterweight (no more than 154 lbs.) championship. The fight will be shown in a record 176 countries and may become the most watched pay-per-view matchup ever--at $55 a pop in the U.S.--perhaps topping the 1.99 million buys to see Mike Tyson bite off a chunk of Evander Holyfield's ear in 1997.
