The Midnight Juggernauts' 2nd album "The Crystal Axis" has been my soundtrack for the past week, spinning on repeat in my Pussy Wagon's CD player. With the boys from the Juggernauts sounding like they've been to outer space and back since their first album "Dystopia".
What I love about "The Crystal Axis" is how very Juggernauts it sounds. They've really stayed true to their distinctive sound, but have really progressed too. It's more chilled-out, but very epic-sounding at the same time. It's not as dance-floor friendly as their last album, but it's a real cohesive-sounding record, with each track blending into each other and complimenting each other. "Dynasty", "This New Technology", "Fade to Red" and of course the awesome first single off the album "Vital Signs" being my favourites at the moment.
But it's really the album as a whole that impressed me. Go out and grab a copy and listen to it in full, preferably whilst driving your hover-car through a rainbow-coloured night-time Tokyo.
If their first album was a dark, dystopian Apocolypse, then "The Crystal Axis" is a much more sunny, shiny glimpse of the future - and it sounds good.
Also, take a look at the music video for "Vital Signs", their first single off the record. Amazing
