In agreement about the comparison, The Last Shadow Puppets are definitely more comparable to The Rascals. In terms of personal taste I am more of an Arctic Monkey’s fan and I dig the whole 60’s Beatlesque sound but I appreciate diversity and I find both albums Rascalize and The Age of the Understatement disappointing in that respect. The Last Shadow Puppets also charged a lot for their debut performance in the Netherlands which left a bad taste in my mouth. I strongly advocate supporting Artists but I do think you need to make your mark first. Nevertheless it remains and interesting project and I wonder if they will try to experiment with their sound in the future.
