Fans of either band will have to be open-minded as The Last Shadow Puppets do seem to be a little more downbeat than Arctic Monkeys and more contemporary and conventional than The Rascals. === The Tracks === [Track 1 - The Age of The Understatement] The album screeches into an early crescendo with its title track, also a prominent yet simple ...
