 Retro cool September 18, 2008

This is SUCH a good album, with Alex Turner's nimble vocals to the fore set amidst some sumptuous string arrangements which take you right back to the 60s.
I heard this first whilst browsing in a music shop and instantly it touched a chord - and it only grows on you from there, with different songs staying in your head for days. You feel like dancing down Carnaby Street in your crushed velvet jacket when this is playing, with Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased of course) at your side. Trust me - and buy it. My album of the year.

Anyone who doesn't enjoys this...doesn't like music...wonderful, uplifting and super driving music etc. Better than the two Monkey's CDs
 A bit too arctic monkeys September 3, 2008

I'd enjoyed a couple of tracks on the radio, but hearing the album as a whole it starts to become a bit too 'arctic monkeys' - who I don't dislike, but it's just a bit too strident, and not enough 60s-ness.
Nice enough in small doses, but if you don't like alex turners voice you'd hate it.
Wonderful 60's style sentimental lovelyness! August 5, 2008
I must admit I was cynical initially but I loved the Opening track 'The Age of Understatement' and was hooked after hearing 'Standing next to me'so brought the CD. Its an album full of lush strings,feelings and warmth.The songs border on the 'lovely' and are well crafted. Love the vocals esp on 'meeting place' and The time has come - both such 60's sounding film tracks. I'm a fan of metal and Rock ( Dillinger Escape Plan and Deftones ) but this album is so 'sentimental' that it will melt the most hardened metal heart- as its done with me- call me a big softie why dont you?

I'd give it a 0 if i could.
it was that bad
it's obvious the band were just put together to get as much sales as possible, the music is awful
if still go n buy it then it's your loss i warned you!
