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.

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."
