Reviews3 stars out of 5 -- "While reverb-swathed acoustic guitars churn in minor keys against a backdrop of swooning strings, Turner croons midnight-of-the-soul confessions...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "It's a sumptuous record of drama and escape, mystery and romance. The two co-frontman sing in harmony over great swathes of velvet strings...", "Their debut boasts galloping rhythms and vibrato guitars...and lovely orchestrations that call to mind pop-melodrama king Scott Walker.", Ranked #2 in Mojo's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2008" -- "The songs were lifted above pastiche, to plant bittersweet 21st century tales onto sweeping symphonic canvases.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "Excellence is everywhere. On the whole, THE AGE OF THE UNDERSTATEMENT seems to be located in a twilit cityscape, awash with romantic disaster...", Ranked #40 in Clash's "The 40 Best Albums of 2008" -- "Grandly dramatic, warm, romantic and funny, THE AGE OF UNDERSTATEMENT is hopefully the first of many albums from the Puppets."
Additional InformationWith help from the London Metropolitan Orchestra, Alex Turner and Miles Kane revitalize the lavish late-'60s/early-'70s sound of lush symphonic pop.
