While Britain's Arctic Monkeys are best known for their acclaimed and arty albums, they've also proven to be a hardworking and inspired live act. In the years since releasing their 2006 debut album, Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, the band have garnered a reputation for their swaggering, wickedly theatrical live shows, ably translating their post-punk grooves and Alex Turner's literate, serpentine lyrics into performance alchemy. 2020's Live at the Royal Albert Hall captures this alchemical spark, showcasing the group's performance on June 7, 2018, at the storied London venue. Recorded during the band's tour for their sixth album, Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino, the concert was held in support of the charity group War Child, with all proceeds going to aid the organization's ongoing work with children who have experienced the trauma of war. Live at the Royal Albert Hall finds Arctic Monkeys digging into a vibrant cross-section of material from throughout their career. Cuts like "Do I Wanna Know" and "RU Mine?" (off 2013's AM) swing with a bluesy, glitter-edged intensity, while others like "Brianstorm" (off 2007's Favourite Worst Nightmare) are kinetic ragers that evoke the band's nervy, punk-influenced early years. We also get enthralling takes on "Four Out of Five," "Arabella," and "Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?" There's a high-definition energy to Arctic Monkeys' performance here that seems to speak to their passion for the charity at hand. There's also a palpable enthusiasm at play between them and their fans, as on "Don't Sit Down 'Cause I've Moved Your Chair," in which the audience claps and sings along, matching Turner's menacingly seductive baritone croon. ~ Matt Collar, Rovi
