KevinkFeb 7, 2007Just really bad

SimonJun 7, 2007Hugely 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.

AlexMar 24, 2007Have 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, 2007Hype 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, 2007Hits 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, 2007No 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, 2007Great album best thing I have heard in along time

DecklinWMar 19, 2007A 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, 2007Pathetic rubbish, Guardian review is spot on.

SamApr 10, 2007Disjointed 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, 2007What 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, 2007Horrible. A huge disapointment, makes me lose faith in the direction music might be going.

voodoocookieJun 11, 2007I 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...)

LucasA.Jun 7, 2007Several great tracks like 'Atlantis to Interzone' or 'Gravity's Rainbow', but ultimately horribly over-hyped. And actually quite boring.

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

GerardLFeb 15, 2007The best thing I can say about this album is that's it's "ok"
-
-
Mr.HankeyFeb 5, 2007A 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, 2007Personally, 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.

Feb 8, 2013It's got an absolutely blistering cover of "It's Not Over Yet" and you see absolute genius in action here. Outside of that there isn't much else that grabs my attention. Yes its experimental and tried lots of new ideas out but generally it reminds me of a poorer, much less focused and much less melodic version of Bloc Party.
-
Klaxons serve up Day-Glo pagan ritual and pop silliness on toast, and kids get sick on it.
-
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.
-
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.
