    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.

    Pathetic rubbish, Guardian review is spot on.

    Horrible. A huge disapointment, makes me lose faith in the direction music might be going.

  1. Klaxons serve up Day-Glo pagan ritual and pop silliness on toast, and kids get sick on it.
  2. For a band that formed little over a year ago, the energy and intent of this record is thrilling and the music rarely fails their undoubtedly grand ambitions.
  3. This isn't a rave record. It was never supposed to be. It's a wildly varying catalogue of melody and energy that eschews genre and scene in favour of songwriting and awe-inspiringly beefy production.
