Tommy
The WhoThis is beyond disappointing. If anyone happens to read this before they have listened to Tommy, I would encourage them to check out the live performance of these songs from the Live 1970 album. The songs themselves are never great but at least on the live album there is a band chemistry that isn’t present on the studio version.

The Age Of The Understatement
The Last Shadow PuppetsAlex Turner is one of the greats imo but this album essentially stays in the same gear all the way through save for a couple of songs at the end. It’s somehow dramatic without being bold. Good without being great. All in all, the sound of a great artist inexplicably linking up with a bang average one such as Miles Kane.
