Suck it and see is the fourth studio album by English indie rock album band Arctic Monkeys released 6th June 2011 in the US following their North American tour. James Ford was the producer. Brick by Brick was released shortly before the album details were revealed. Drummer Matt helders confirmed that Brick by Brick would not be the lead single and then on 19th March 2011 in an interview with NME Matt helders revealed that suck it and see will feature some songs more instant, more poppy certainly that Humbug was.
Their fourth album's first single, titled "Don't Sit Down 'Cause I've Moved Your Chair" was released as a digital download on 11 April, and on Vinyl with "Brick by Brick" on 16 April for Record Store Day. A version of the single with 2 B-sides was released on 7 and 10 inch vinyl on 30 May. The band allowed fans to listen to the entire album on their website before deciding about whether to purchase it or not. "Suck it and See" was then released on 6 June 2011 and went straight to #1 in the album charts. In doing so, Arctic Monkeys became only the second band in history to debut four albums in a row at the top of the charts.
The band announced The Hellcat Spangled Shalalala as the second single to be taken from Suck It and See. Most of the stock was burned because of the London riots. A limited edition 7' Vinyl of the single was then released over the band's website on 14 August. The song only managed to chart in the top 200 in the UK. However they reached higher in Belgium at #25. In September 2011 the band released a music video for the song "Suck It and See" featuring drummer Matt Helders, and announced they would be releasing it as a single on 31 October 2011. In July 2011, the band released a live EP over iTunes with 6 live recordings from the iTunes Festival in London.
The band confirmed that they will release a DVD, documenting their performance in Don Valley. On 29 August 2011 the band released a trailer of the DVD. Arctic Monkeys embarked in May 2011 on their Suck It and See Tour. They headlined the Benicassim Festival 2011along side The Strokes, Arcade Fire and Primal Scream. Super Bock Super Rock 2011, V Festival 2011, Rock Werchter. and T in The Park. They confirmed on 7 February that they were playing two "massive homecoming shows" at the Don Valley Bowl in Sheffield on 10 and 11 June, support acts included Miles Kane, Anna Calvi, The Vaccines, Dead Sons and Mabel Love, clips from the show were also used in the music video for The Hellcat Spangled Shalalala.

In an interview with the Sun, Alex Turner said that Arctic Monkeys will take a break from the recording and performing until 2013. Alex Turner said: "I don't really write on the road any more. We come up with a few ideas on sound checks and that but I have written too many terrible lyrics touring around. As yet there is no plan to return to the studio next year, we're keeping our heads down." There have been rumours that Alex Turner may be taking a break to record a second album with The Last Shadow Puppets, although this is not yet confirmed. In numerous interviews, both Turner and Kane, of The Last Shadow Puppets, have stated that they "will ride again."
