5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, April 30, 2007

After seeing the music video for "Golden Skans", I just had to investigate this band further, and I am sure glad I did. This is one amazing indie/space rock/psychedelic/pop record. There are some amazing songs on here, with soaring melodies and some awesome instrumental work. I can only hope that Klaxons go up from here. I can't even describe it, you just need to give this record a listen. Even if it doesn't hit you on the first listen, give it a few spins. This is one of the best new bands I have heard in quite a while.

4.0 out of 5 stars familiar, yet alien in the best way possible, May 22, 2007

in each song and idea klaxons bring to the table it just seems like i've heard an echo of it somewhere in the independent music scene before. yet i can't pin it down. i love it for it's energy, and i'll continue loving it for its layer upon layer approach to a scene that needs depth in a major way. i don't regret my purchase in the least.

From start to finish, this album is ace. Just got it yesterday and haven't stopped listening. Will definitely be a fave for all time.

"Golden Skans" is my personal favorite.

Don't let them be pigeonholed by a genre of music. "nu/rave" or whatever. They're innovative and catchy, with a dose of 80's influence, yes. However, I grew up in the 80's, and we didn't have anything close to Klaxons.

Buy it.
