The Age Of The Understatement
The Last Shadow Puppets

This was confusing from a meta perspective because the short description was something like "builds on 60's and 70's airy pop" and the album has a photo from the 60's as a cover, so I started listening and thought "weird that this could be from the 2000s, it's not like it still feels fresh today but it does feel only like 20 years old, strange" and then "this really just sounds like the Arctic Monkeys, did anyone ever comment on that when the Arctic Monkeys got big that they sound like this band" So imagine how stupid I felt when the album is from 2008 (nailed it) and one member is from the Arctic Monkeys (nailed it) and I had been trying to give them credit for being really pioneering at their time. I don't get the appeal here now that I'm no longer trying to give them that credit. It sounds pleasant enough it's just also not compelling to me.
