    This isn't just a novel idea that is haphazardly hashed out but rather, the work of two impeccable musicians and it's a fine addition to either musician's catalog and a brilliant one at that.

    The Age of the Understatement is ultimately an auspicious work from a couple of twentysomethings looking to transcend the term ''side project.''

    The band should be called The Last Shadow Puppets And Owen Pallett, because the work Owen did for this album is marvellous, as well as the beautiful songs that Alex turner and Miles Kane wrote. A wonderful side project for both!… Full Review »

    This is a generally nice album, with the title track and the second song "Standing next to me" being the highlights. those 2 songs are what really makes the album a 7. otherwise, there wasnt much here to satisfy my expectations. none of the other songs are amazing, is what im saying. yet again, none of the songs are terrible either. less rocky than your average arctic monkeys, if you liked the arctic monkeys less headbanger songs, this is a potentially great album. not essential, but worth a try. 7/10… Full Review »
