One of many brilliant songs off their album, "The Age Of The Understatement"
I've been listening to it on and off since it came out, and it is a class album, the single was a bad choice though, there's loads of other better songs on the CD, like Calm Like You, My Mistakes Were Made For You (above) and Separate And Ever Deadly. One of the songs sounds like Adam And The Ants though.. not a good sign!
They're a good band, i don't expect them to make another album, instead they'll go back to The Rascals and Arctic Monkeys and it will be a one off concept album hopefully because another CD of this sort of thing would get tedious.
Over the album though, it only shows Miles Kane up as very average. I'm sure he's a very nice guy but sitting next to Alex Turner, who is of immense talent doesn't really do him any favors, and although i do like some of The Rascals stuff i find it a bit weird the similarities between the two of them in looks, style and voice. (although Miles isn't anything near as good as Turner's vocals)
The video shows him not really contributing that much, and he only does well on Separate And Ever Deadly on the album, so hopefully maybe next time he'll just stick to The Rascals (who are a very solid, decent band) and Alex Turner will do a solo album, thats what I'd rather see to be honest.
A very good CD though, download/buy it!
