    'Myths Of The Near Future' is charged with the same spirit which fuelled legendary rave pranksters The KLF's period of pop subversion.

    Myths of the Near Future is probably the most assured British debut since Franz Ferdinand's self-titled.
  3. The Guardian

    The songs descend the same chords repeatedly and ponderously, as if the band were falling down the same flight of stairs over and over again.

    I was surprised by how catchy this album is. I couldn't not stop listening to it for the past 6 months or whenever it first came out! Bloody briilliant and awesome live too! (Although crowd is a bit young, but hey it's still as fun...)… Expand

    Several great tracks like 'Atlantis to Interzone' or 'Gravity's Rainbow', but ultimately horribly over-hyped. And actually quite boring.… Expand

    Hugely disappointing. The lyrics are a mess and the music repetitive. Not worth the hype and no indication of "nu rave" what-so-ever. Get out there and buy The Arcade Fire or Arctic Monkeys and leave trollop like this on the shelf.… Expand
