New album is a bit weird and I'm not a massive fan. It's an interesting idea but it feels like it can't sustain itself across the whole album. It gives an impressionistic vibe reminiscent of something like a Philip K. Dick novel crossed with the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, then filtered through Turner's moody attempt to reimagine himself as the Antoine Doinel of contemporary society, but ends up feeling misjudged because everything outside of the first four songs is simply a lesser version of the first four songs.
Personally I prefer The Last Shadow Puppets second album by a magnitude of fifty million. American Sports is a cracking tune, though.
