The Last Shadow Puppets - The Age Of The Understatement

[ostouhc]

Come on people cut the offensive crap against Muse or Turner-slash-Monkeys-slash-Kan­e, this song is great. Of course, Knights of Cydonia is more awesome. And what the f*ck is this Twilight?

[itheindigoswan]

this song makes me scared of girls' wicked mind controlling games even more.

[asikosha]

It's music from Westerns and of course the BIGGEST influence, style from THE BEATLES!!! All modern rock bands, including Muse are influenced by Classics!!!

[whedonobsessed]

I wasn't prepared ofr this. I'm a HUGE Muse fan (no, not because of twilight) and I really wasn't expecting so many Muse-bashing comments on here. Both songs are really good people! Stop saying one is better than the other! Other than the drumming technique and yeah, the slight western theme, they are completely different!

[DrPepper742]

I don't mind at all the Muse-inlfuenced western sound, Alex doing something like this is awesome!

[ACleverName17]

holy shit knights of cydonia

[SabbraCadabra789]

stop tallking about fucking muse there shit, talk about the arctics, miles and alex, there the greatest, nearly every comment is about muse,

[reydela992]

LAst Shadows Puppets Sapen

[Shinnjr12]

I feel so behind, this is the first time Iv'e heard these guys. Needless to say I'm blown away. I think I'll move to the UK so I can here music like this when it first comes out...

[musicandlove516]

why the FUCK is muse even being spoken about here. talk about how AMAZING THE FUCKING LAST SHADOW PUPPETS ARE AW YEAH.

[TheNerdAmigo]

Knights of cydonia and this???? Come on this is WAY better.

[L0055ER]

@TheNerdAmigo O: whaaat. i wouldnt compare the two. theyre both good. but knights of cydonia pwns all. nuff said )':

[GooleyMadness]

SOOO..... at least i know that i want the only one who thought the beginning sounded like Knights of Cyndonia... O-O you guys are still making too big of a deal out of it... just listen to the damned music and be chill... please?

[TheSuperVintage]

Alex Turner and Miles Kane = beautiful music and a beautiful bromance. :)

[Zixp60]

Perfect. What else?

[highfive9139]

the beginning sounds like Kane new song- King Crawler

[vyllyb]

Ich liebe den Anfang.

Und ein Lied mit Alex Turner kann gar nicht schlecht sein :D:D

[BrenieB]

fucking awesome this riff

[belaswane]

Heard this in the movie Jusqu'à toi and i loveddddd it! I agree, it reminds me of Knights of Cydonia.

[Sparkleslovestosmile]

How is it like Knights of Cydonia? This is has a Russian theme! Russian city, Russian army...

[MaelstromK]

It's funny that all this is being mentioned...because for a while now I was wondering when a band was going to come and hit me like a ton a bricks, just like Muse....

Hello, Last Shadow Puppets

[hahahelaina]

this song is similar to knights of cydonia. but it's still fucking beast just like muse

[elementbakerplanb]

Why are the highest rated comments about Twilight and Muse?

[underconstructi0n]

One of my favourites from their album :)!

[mrssmile505]

Awesommee!!

[klotekloot]

Pretty good song :p

[Kraweeehl]

Oh hell, please! Sometimes I think I could sing a song about scratching my ass and some crazy twilight fan will relate it to the sad and tragic lovestory between Bella and her goddamn vampire boy.

Calm down! There was a life before twilight and there will be a life after it! I'm looking forward to the time when no one gives a damn about these books anymore.

And - to go back to a topic we somehow lost between the ancient war of vampires and werewolves - this song is absolutely awesome!

[beckybbzxxx]

i like! yay and i kinda c da knights of cydonia conecction a bit but so different in some ways. i luv muse + last shadow puppets + arctic monkeys so this is kinda AWESOME :) x

[crowmanpan]

SUPERB !!!!!!!.......................­LOVE IT.

[MrsRobinHood]

i can see similarities between this song and Knights of Cydonia, by muse, but i cant see why twilight was bought into it. i loathe twilight and dont think anyone should ruin decent music by associating it with that shitty film and following sequels.

[redhockeycab]

the thing is, knights of cydonia and this song are both in E minor, so they have a lot of the same chords. the drums are also similar.

but the age of the understatement was by no means stolen from muse.

[bizza52]

the thing i like about this song is that it's not the standard layout of verse-chorus-verse its got all these different breaks and verse's

[redhockeycab]

@bizza52 yeah, most arctic monkeys' songs are like that. a lot of them don't even have a chorus

[eraligator]

oh damn. it's MUSIC. just enjoy it ;)) don't discuss the whole time, you all are wastin your time and forget this great song!!

[flforalgernon]

You couldn't bear not to talk about Twilight here too... Why can't we just forget about it? Can't you see that it's such a fucking awesome song (just like Knights of Cydonia), and it's the only thing that matters? DA87i is totally right. Loving Muse, loving The Last Shadow Puppets.

[Nongamblerpokerfan]

@flforalgernon

I like you. :)

and the only similarity with KOC is the cowboy rythmn.

TLSP are a lot more alternative/indie.

Muse is more "intense".

[Jozza1002]

Err nothing like muse

They're in the if you like muse then you'll like this kinda catagory but it's nothing like knights of cydonia

And also I'd people only like muse because of twilight then they ain't official muse fans, well they don't even class as 'fans' if they only like supermassive black hole and I belong to you. I like twilight but I was into muse WAY before twilight probs even exsisted

[DA87i]

Muse are awesome. TLSP are awesome. Have I missed anything?

[Kitty6764]

the only similarity between knights of cydonia and this song is the western theme and secondly i like muse but i despise twilight because it is shit

[muserati90]

@Kitty6764 but Muse`s not shit, they are really great musicians, and if they colaborate with <Mayer is pure bussiness =D

[Kitty6764]

@muserati90 i said that twilight was shit not muse ;)

[helsirox]

its not like knights of cydonia, that song is ridiculously bombastic, this is retro and shit

[GBreezy797]

The Western feeling of it totally rips it off, but the actual music doesnt, but it is very similar

[Themanimator]

This is just Knights of Cydonia, from the North of UK, using values of War and Women.

[HiddenArcadia]

This is call music. Good music. Muse is for twilight freaks

[Themanimator]

I never said the song was good or bad, I simply just said it is "Knights of Cydonia" just made northern.

Which it is.

This song sounds incredibly like Knights of Cydonia.

Lastly I dont think Twilight fans listen to Muse, they would listen to M.C.R, G.C, F.O.B and other such bands

[OriginOfStarlight]

No, Muse are definitely NOT for Twilight freaks. In fact, a lot of their fans don't like that so many people listen to them just because their song was featured in the film.

[KosmoAntoninus]

@OriginOfStarlight Then a lot of their fans are posers who thought they would look cool if they are fans of a sophisticated but less popular band and now they are unhappy that the elite image was tarnished by uncouth Twilight Fanatics. Bugger the whole lot !

[Killersfor199]

i equally love and enjoy both muse and TLSP, but muse is NOT for twilight freaks, i would know b/c my friend is and she hates muse

[MrsRobinHood]

age of the underrrrrstatemeeeennnnntt!

catchy as hell! :D

[hixtreme]

i really like this song but do use not think it totally rips off knights of cydonia by muse?

[xosummerloveoxx]

it definately does

[SerenasTears91]

Kiss me properly and pull me apart <3<3<3

(:

[babyMolko]

OMFG..... That`s da best thing ever!!!!

[Soffiee96x]

I like LOVE this song,

[666LG666]

[Crashbroke23]
