After their debut album, Arctic Monkeys returned with an EP of completely new material, breaking all marketing plans in the progress. It ranges from ultra-aggressive goth noise to the slacker-pop.
The album's sound is a blend of industrial, gothic, electronic, and rock influences, with a touch of ambient feel, making it stand out from the typical formulaic music of the time.
Hardcore punk goes goth in the hands and screams of AFI. Grind in some metal and a little emo, and you've got a kickin' album with "The Art of Drowning."
