Klaxons make their comeback after almost 4 years!

A long time ago, I used to be obsessed with a band called the "Klaxons". I would play their first album "Myths of the Near Future" religiously, with it's crazy, yet interesting British space/grunge/whatever/pop. They released their second album "Surfing the Void" in 2010, and that was oddly enough, the last we heard of the band, save for an EP of unreleased stuff on Christmas Day of that same year.

Now, the band has returned with a new album, and their first track off the album has been released. The song "There Is No Other Time" premiered on the Zane Lowe show on BBC radio and it's...well...pretty bad, by the band's standards. Now, I've been a fan of this band because of how experimental their music and lyrics were. But this? This is a horrible mixed, horrible sung, horrible organized song with painfully bad lyrics that makes me question how the rest of the album sounds. I don't know, this might be one of those things where after I listen to it a few times, I grow to like it, but I honestly can't see my beloved Klaxons creating something akin to a British boy-band. (Even though I don't mind One Direction.)
