The Klaxons?! Really?! If this is what new music in this country is about then I'll quite happily shoot myself in the head
than listen to any music ever again!
I think they're lacking something you need to make a good band - they cannot sing. at all. not even a little bit. every note is off. or play instruments with any real talent. and they're trying so very hard to get it right. is that really what count these days? I had the displeasure of seeing them live at Hyde Park earlier this year (on the BandStand stage - says it all, while bands like the White Stripes and Queens of The Stone Age were playing a real stage, they played on a bandstand surrounded by empty deckchairs
I've heard homeless men in the street with more talent. I'm being serious. Usually I mock bands that are copying others with no hope in hell of making a decent record, and accept that one of two tunes are catchy, but with the Klaxons I really cannot understand what's going on. What makes it worse is they're arrogant knobs too, in an interview on BBC they claim to have made the "most forward thinking record" - yet they wear stuff that adam ant would've been ashamed of and sound like cindy lauper after a heroin binge. very forward thinking 
Anyone care to enlighten me on the one thing that I'm so obviously missing?
