The Last Shadow Puppets - The Age Of The Understatement

It would seem that every successful band has a side project, and this is the lesser-known outlet of Alex Turner of Arctic Monkeys and Miles Kane of The Rascals.

Alex Turner has one of the most recognizable voices I have ever heard; slightly gruff but beautiful in its own right. Add that to driving music, reminiscent of James Bond themes [especially on "My Mistakes Were Made For You"], you'll find an album that is the most mature and accomplished to date in this 19 year old's already blossoming career.

I would be so bold as to say that "The Age Of The Understatement" is one of the best of 2008.
