The Age of the Understatement (The Last Shadow Puppets)

The Last Shadow Puppets' The Age of the Understatement is a surprisingly great album. I didn't expect to be enjoying it as much as I am. The music is ace and I'm quite keen on the case and disc design as well. Some of the songs hearken back to older times, but incorporate those influences in such a way as to not simply be a retread of what's happened, but rather to advance them in a modern and enjoyable way.

Tracks:
1. The Age of the Understatement
2. Standing Next to Me
3. Calm Like You
4. Separate and Ever Deadly
5. The Chamber
6. Only the Truth
7. My Mistakes Were Made for You
8. Black Plant
9. I Don't Like You Anymore
10. In My Room
11. The Meeting Place
12. Time Has Come Again
