... rather unique sound and lyrically prowess. But to isolate it from anything the Arctic Monkeys had done previously, they brought in the London Metropolitan Orchestra for the recording to add a new style to the music. An interesting twist on a modern classic you could say... Opening track is the debut single and self-titled track of the album. It bursts into life with violins and guitars with an uncanny similarity to "Knights of Cydonia" by Muse. It's an encouraging start to proceedings with a fast-paced, un...more

The Age Of The Understatement is the debut album from The Last Shadow Puppets; a side project of Alex Turner of The Arctic Monkeys and Miles Kane of The Rascals...one you may well have heard of, but one you may not have!! The Age of the Understatement was released in the UK on 21 April 2008, going straight to number one in the UK Albums Chart...the hype and success surrounding it was for the most part due to Turner's role in the band. The likes of Radio 1 put the debut single straight into it's A-list, the likes of the NME waxed lyrically over their arrival...but was it worth the hype?? Well first of all, the two met when Kane's former band The ...

Wow, I just realised this is my first review in over 6 months, hopefully I haven't forgotten how to write. The Last Shadow Puppets are what you could refer to as a sideline/spinoff band. They are effectively a duo made up of Alex Turner from the brilliant Arctic Monkeys and Miles Kane of The Rascals (plus a small orchestra). They've known each other for a while now and have previously worked and toured together with their respective bands. Their debut album is called The Age of the Understatement and as side project albums go, it's ok. 12 tracks, 35 minutes, nothing over 4 minutes and 7 tracks which are under 3 minutes. 1 - The Age of ...

Last Shadow Puppets is the side project of Alex Turner (of Arctic Monkeys fame) and Miles Kane (of The Rascals). With an overtly 60's feel, "Age Of The Understatement" is the debut album from the collaboration, and has had relative commercial success. However, commercial success does not make for a good album, as this album proves. Riding on the back of the Arctic Monkey's fame, it never really achieves its full potential, although the title track is as close as it gets to an epic. (I would like to just point out that I am a massive fan of the Arctic Monkeys and The Rascals, so at times my view may be contorted by my love of the two ...
