Summary: Sorely Disappointed!
Comment: After seeing TLSP perform Standing Next to Me on Johnathon Ross I was captivated. Unfortunately that
is the only decent track on the album! What a disappointment! If the rest of the tracks were like
track 2 it'd be a real winner for me. I guess it takes all types to make a world, tho this is just
not my type. I'm not sure it should get even 1 star from me. Anyone want a CD?!!!

Summary: Retro cool
Comment: 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.

Summary: What's not good about this?
Comment: Anyone who doesn't enjoys this...doesn't like music...wonderful, uplifting and super driving music
etc. Better than the two Monkey's CDs

Customer Rating:

Summary: A bit too arctic monkeys
Comment: 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.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Wonderful 60's style sentimental lovelyness!
Comment: 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?
