    A 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.

    Disjointed 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.

    What 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.

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

    The best thing I can say about this album is that's it's "ok"

    two or three ok songs, then those monotonous, repetitive sing-songy chord structures, over and over and over again I thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown - aaaaahhhh! "glow sticks"? "neon" what is this? have you people ever heard real rave music (it was 90% horrible too!) this is just fashion music. clangy and irritating after track four but yeah, first few tracks ok. mercury two or three ok songs, then those monotonous, repetitive sing-songy chord structures, over and over and over again I thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown - aaaaahhhh! "glow sticks"? "neon" what is this? have you people ever heard real rave music (it was 90% horrible too!) this is just fashion music. clangy and irritating after track four but yeah, first few tracks ok. mercury prize!?!? nuts.… Expand

    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.
