Klaxons - Myths Of The Near Future (CD 2007)

Whenever i heard them on radio or saw them on mtv, i was intrigued, so bought the cd. Really like this album, there are some great jump about songs in there. Its good but not excellent, as with most albums there are always a couple of tracks that aren't as fantastic as others. Think they will be absolutely mind-blowing live with their whole nu-rave/psychedelia crossed with borderline hysteria thang going on. 4/5

relly good songs bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Flipping banging album! Super stuff, almost all the tracks are playable in a club environment. Very good - these guys are some of the pioneers of nu-wave - definitely worth getting this album and keeping an eye on new stuff =)

I am one of these people who believes rock music has run its course in terms of energy, talent, origionality and scope. The business sanitises all credible and uniqueness in favour of a lucrative 'Chart Hit'. Where as bands were picked for doing something special which would leap them into public hearts through skill and creativity we are left with corporate icons who deliver safe, over comercialised fodder!

The Klaxons are one of these bands who have linked both aspects well. Energy rawness, sellability and an underlying creative fun. Songs like Gravity's Rainbow, Its not over, and Goldern Skans have a youthful party quality amid a raw and sometimes flowing ambience.

I hope they are not a one hit wonder and fulfil a gap in Rock Music's stale image!

This is a very good album from a up and coming band of 08. Would say this is a must buy to have in your CD list.

For me it was one of those albums that a few of the songs i loved a few were ok and others i skip. The more you listen the more it grows on you.I can still see me listening to this album or at least most of it for a while to come!

Basically it is an amazing fuse of indie and electro coming together with catchy lyrics to make a great album.

I recently saw the klaxons at Reading festival this year, though I had heard of their big song "its not over yet" I didn't really have a clear picture of what they were like. Well they were amazing live, so thought I would buy the album, and to be honest it was absoluty amasing, all the songs are great and I found myself listening to them over and over. I am just waiting for their second album now lol. There is only one problem with this album, why do bands, recording studios etc feel the need to place a 15min track at the end of the album, in which the song goes for about 3.5mins then stops for like 10 so I am sitting here with 10mins of silence that really doesn't add to the greatness. Apart from that a perfect 5 of 5 for me.

Kept catching snatches of several tracks on the radio which stuck in my mind so bought the album.
Great opening track and serveral top tunes this band will get better and produce even stronger albums in the future.
Buy it and try it .

I bought this album prior to seeing them at the academy in birmingham. I didn't no much of them except for their hit single 'Golden Skans' which of course I loved!

3 of the 11 songs I don't really like but the rest are great, with my favorites being 'Totem on the timeline" and "Two Recievers".

I thought this was a great album and i live in great expectation of their music to follow, great live band, great album, great music! Great buy for any indie fan :)

Every song is fresh, new and exciting.
A mix between Indie/Dance/Experimental/Rock/Club.
Just a brilliant mix.
Give a few songs a listen a few times and you will fall in love straight away.
Atlantis to Interzone, Golden Skans, Magick, Totem On The Timeline are the best to name a few.
Well worth a listen.
One of my favourite.

The reson i am over the moon about this album is that ht rlead man is my son. Need i say more fantastic :-)

its quality....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

bought for my stepson not my kind off music music not for me would not buy it for myself as i am into good music and i can not think of anything else to say about this cd

Bought this album, every single and all other Klaxons-related CD/Vinyl and LOVE them all. The music is new and worth a good listen to, must of done something right to get the mercury award for the album. Can't wait until the next album should be amazing and very promising. Singles like 'Golden Skans', 'Gravity's Rainbow', 'Magik' ad my personal favourite 'Atlantis To Interzone' make the album a very worth while buty, you wont be disappointed one bit.
