AlexMar 24, 20078Have liked the Klaxons for a while now, and downloaded the four dozen songs off their myspace site. The hype has grown, and the album was never going to meet theype - but it's very good. Those who were hoping for ten versions of Golden Skans will be disappointed, but those who like their 'Atlantis To Interzone' side as well will find it rewarding.

JustinRFeb 3, 20079Hype aside, this is a killer album. 'Myths' sounds like nothing else out there and althoughit may not work for some, I just can't get enough.

MickMar 9, 20077Hits some real highs, however, not the best album to listen to all the way through. This band does have a amazing live show though

JPFeb 3, 20077No matter how many times i repeat Myths... it never manages to reach the expectations that the likes of 'Atlantis To Interzone' and 'Gravity's Rainbow' set before it.

NickRMar 1, 20079Great album best thing I have heard in along time

DecklinWMar 19, 20076A breath of fresh air, possibly, but it's one foul breath. An increasingly grating and boring listen, just gets irritating when you realise the whole thing's made up of one 'Golden Skans' and ten semi-decent filler tracks.

WillMar 5, 20070Pathetic rubbish, Guardian review is spot on.

SamApr 10, 20075Disjointed and overally diappointing...well, not worthy of all the hype leading up to it. There are some "stand out singles", a adequate description for an album that has just a few good songs.

KateBApr 5, 20074What are the lyrics on about? Apart from that, this album leaves a lot to be desired. The tunes are good, but every song is the same. I got bored of it VERY quickly.

joelMay 4, 20070Horrible. A huge disapointment, makes me lose faith in the direction music might be going.

voodoocookieJun 11, 200710I 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...)

SimonJun 7, 20072Hugely 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.

LucasA.Jun 7, 20075Several great tracks like 'Atlantis to Interzone' or 'Gravity's Rainbow', but ultimately horribly over-hyped. And actually quite boring.

JoeavNFeb 11, 20079For me, it's the graetest album out for earley 2007. Just a fun listen!!!

GerardLFeb 15, 20076The best thing I can say about this album is that's it's "ok"
-

Mr.HankeyFeb 5, 20078A nice and melodic disc that is made up of schizophrenic vocals (that are really beautiful) and nice/upbeat electro-rock. Think the Beach Boys meet New Order and you have it!

CaitlinSMar 10, 20078Personally, I'm really enjoying this album. Very fun to listen to. For it's genre, I feel it's in the upper end compared to many other similar bands. The music gets you up, moving and dancing and after all, isn't that all that matters in the end? Who cares if it's the same chord progressions over and over, music shoud not be over-analyzed. Simply, enjoyed.

Klaxons serve up Day-Glo pagan ritual and pop silliness on toast, and kids get sick on it.

80For 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.

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.
