!!And your love is troping next to me...


* AlbumClosure: "Time Has Come Again" and "The Dream Synopsis" both fit, as they are both much softer and downbeat than the songs before them.
* BreakUpSong: "Standing Next to Me", "I Don't Like You Anymore", and "Everything You've Come to Expect". "Used to Be My Girl" is the aftermath of one.
* CharacterTitle: "Miracle Aligner"
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: Both studio albums fall into this.
* DownerEnding: "Time Has Come Again", a song about a man lamenting a dead friend/partner, is the closer for the first album.
* FaceOfTheBand: Yes, James and Zach are in the band, but Alex and Miles are the only members you'll ever hear about, especially since they're the only ones that show up in music videos and interviews.
* GriefSong: "The Meeting Place", "Time Has Come Again".
* LighterAndSofter: While the edge of the lyrics hasn't gone away, 'Everything You've Come to Expect' certainly has a softer sound to it.
* LimitedLyricsSong: "Bad Habits"
* LyricalColdOpen: "Only the Truth".
* LyricalDissonance: "The Meeting Place", perhaps the happiest-sounding song off the first album, is about a man who can't even sleep at night because his lost love haunts him.
* MinisculeRocking: A majority of songs on 'The Age of the Understatement' are under three minutes. The whole album clocks in at 35 minutes.
* ObsessionSong: "Used to Be My Girl" can be read as one, especially with how much darker it sounds than any other song on the album.
* OneWordTitle: "Sequels", "Aviation", and "Pattern".
* RefrainFromAssuming: It's not "I'm Sorry I Met You", it's "The Meeting Place".
* SillyLoveSongs: "Sweet Dreams, TN".
* SingerNameDrop: While he doesn't sing in that particular song, Miles is mentioned in "The Dream Synopsis".
* SurprisinglyGentleSong: The last songs on both albums, though "Time Has Come Again" doesn't fit in the lyrical sense.
* PrecisionFStrike: The Last Shadow Puppets almost never swear in their songs... except for "Sweet Dreams, TN" which gives us uses of "dick" and "fuck".
* TextlessAlbumCover: ''Everything You've Come to Expect''.
* TitleDrop: Every song of theirs, except "My Mistakes Were Made For You", "Black Plant", "Pattern", "The Dream Synopsis", and "The Bourne Identity".
* TitleTrack: All of their releases have one.
