Good band’s great song | by JULIA STAPINSKI
I’m a firm believer in the philosophy that most good bands get worse with time and mainstream influence, so when the Arctic Monkeys released their third album, “Humbug,” I was someone skeptical and unsure of what to expect.  In “Cornerstone,” the seventh track of the album, frontman Alex Turner depicts an evening spent bar-hopping and attempting to recover from heartbreak.  The lyrics are crafted with witty expertise from a melancholy point of view that encourages the listener to sympathize with Turner’s plight.  The song displays the Monkeys’ strengths, showcasing the band’s distinctly familiar sound while also accommodating a bittersweet tone and introducing a newfound sense of maturity to their music. ÂÂ
