#159 Klaxons - Surfing the Void

I liked their first one, it had a bent, elastic kind of energy to it. Also, once again, man, I have had no time for music lately.

For whatever reason this one doesn't move me like the last one. The vocals come across whinier, the hooks not quite as hooky, the album as a whole just not as assertive, and coming across less powerful for it. Also, the tales of psychedelic space adventures just come across limp in the lyrics department. Its enjoyable, if unspectacular, the best bits being textured synth lines of the kind I'm always oh so fond of 3/5
