Tremendous album that deserves more attention October 27, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Somehow although the likes of Justice and MGMT have brought the world of electronica into the mainstream, Midnight Juggernauts have currently not received the same media adulation. However musically this album is every bit as accomplished as the above acts, with several magnificent tracks and no filler.
In its epic sweep, pounding beats and smooth vocals it has more than a little in common with Justice's Cross, but whereas that veers between various guest vocalists and collaborations, Dystopia is all their own work, producing a consistent sound that Rolling Stone summed up as "David Bowie if his Berlin Trilogy was a collaboration with Kraftwerk and Faust."
This is alternately haunting and thrilling music and one of the standout albums of the year.
Most exciting act I've listened to in years July 25, 2008
Wow.
This one's a sleeper folks, and if there's any justice in the music world, these guys are going to hit the big time when people at large catch on to how amazingly good these guys really are.
As for their style, nothing I say here could possibly do it justice, though clearly electropop groups such as Daft Punk are their main influences, though they're not averse to throwing in a little acoustic indie in there as well. They have truly made their individual stamp on the music they make, and the space age quality of tracks like "Into the Galaxy" and "Scorpius" makes me want to hop into a rocket and go into orbit every time I listen to it!
I have it on good authority that they are at their most awesome during live festival gigs (I'm seeing them at Get Loaded in the Park, a London gig, next August), so if you find out they're in town, my equitable advice is to beg, borrow or steal (should your ethics stoop so low) to see them.
Without doubt, this is for me the best album of the year so far.
Atmospheric electronic rock! July 9, 2008
This a really enjoyable journey into space, rock-inspired electronic music. The Midnight Juggernauts seem to pick very questful chord progressions which make each track a memorable experience.

The 'juggers blow me away EVERYTIME. I had this lp on import from last year, and it still raises the hairs on the back of my neck. Think ELO meets Daft Punk at a INXS concert.

This is the album that the Klaxons should have made/wanted to make. Think Justice, Daft Punk, and some 70s rock. Swishing swooshing synths, crashing drums, and loads of epic goodness and your about there. About to crack the UK, catch them at Glasto et al.
