Amazing album, and a must have in your collection. But Klaxons I don't have the faintest how you are going to top it. You've been away for quite a while now and I think a lot of people are waiting for you to come out with something utterly spectacular, and is it possible? I fear that you will change your music and fail, (it's quite a hard thing to do) and then become one of those bands with one Amazing album but then die away, and that would be dissapointing, but nevertheless I will keep my fingers crossed and hope to see you immerge later this year. But yeah as a review of this album buy it, you wont regret it,it might be the last thing they ever do that is worth buying :(

 Smart Album

Good stuff, but I think there's too much hype surrounding them. I expect their next Album will suffer because of it. Whatever, this isn't a new sub-genre whatever you may think, Soulwax and Ladytron to name but two have been doing this for yeeeeeeeears.

That said, it's a very good album, good and rocky with Gravity's Rainbow a great song (probably referencing the Pynchon book of the same title, but I haven't read it yet!)
and Magick (Alesteir Crowley perhaps? are Klaxons actually Ordo Templi Orientis?) both anthems in their own right.

Whatever I say about them, they've got talent, aand they're championing intellectualism with their music, which is a great move for an otherwise stagnant and depressing youth culture.

making this one of my fave albums of 2007. I never really knew much of them until I saw them live at Reading. Bought the album when I got home and now I absolutely love it. I was lucky to see them live also in Amsterdam.

Top notch. They definitely deserved the Mercury Award.

 Nu rave an aquired taste.

When they hold a tune they are a very good band. When they don't they're not. The songs released as singles are pure pop but someone needs to look at the quality chart on the other tracks. As usual the Mercury Price courts controversy with its choice of winner.

 A Bargain Buy!

This was a really good bargain buy in my opinion. Really out there music with "Golden Skans" the stand out track. Superb!

If you like golden skans then your gonna realise that when you buy this album it wont be one of the best songs they have done. This is a band that are so different at the moment but at the same time so orginal. This album is great and i first bought it back in January when they released it and everyday i at least listen to one of the songs off the album. There is a reason that they won the mecury prize award instead of same sounding music Amy Winehouse and thats because they are future sounding.
some of the best songs are:
1. Atlantis to interzone
2. As Above, So below
3. Forgotten Works
4. Magick
p.s go see this band live : )

I bought this after a friend introduced this band to me and soon thought I had made a bad mistake. The only song I like is not over yet and that is starting to wear thin I really suggest you give it a miss
