shesawsparks Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I'm liking The Age Of The Understatement and there's a live version of it on youtube which sounds even better imo :) 3 or 4 other live tracks from the album are on youtube too if you just do a search.

Mimixxx Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 The single doesn't do anything for me, but will give some other songs a listen. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Grace Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 it's definitely a grower. i wonder if it's a "one-album-and-then-that's-it" project, though. we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rad-Cold Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I like the song.. Alex turner is much better then with the arctic monkeys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Cadet Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 WOW. :stunned: I wasn't that interested- guess I was expecting Arctic Monkeys part 2. Figured I'd listen eventually. Eventually came yesterday. What I was not expecting was a 60s-ish James Bond style epic. It's brilliant! This is the sort of music that I've been complaining for years now that no one makes anymore. Did I mention wow? :dance: ooh... and they had Final Fantasy (Owen Pallett) do all the strings too! :nice: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenG Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Reminds me of Knights of cydonia... I will buy this... one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioMad Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Definitely a contender for best album of the year. I prefer this to Arctic Monkeys myself. Oh, and I saw The Rascals live yesterday and they were pretty good as well. Miles Kane has a bigger influence than Alex Turner on this record I think, judging by his band's songs.

HorrificAttack Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Doesn't touch anything The Little Flames (RIP) did You're joking right? I've seen them live 3 times, admittedly they got better each time, but they were still a poor band LSP are mindblowing live with the orchestra, the hairs on my neck were standing up, amazing stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Rose Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Nope, The Little Flames are better than the last shadow puppets in terms of albums. Live I can't make a comparison because the last shadow puppets forgot the south/south east Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gitta Rensolo Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Oh it's funny: I checked them out on youtube yesterday.

My friend saw their acoustic set in Brooklyn (or the Bronx?), said they did a great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
