...similar to Bloc Party’s “She’s Hearing Voices.” The song seems to drag along for four minutes and eighteen seconds without ever reaching any level of interesting progression. That said, the Klaxons aren’t making bland fluff. The album definitely features a few gems. The earnest “It’s Not Over Yet” is both melodic and endearing.

Below it, jostling for space with a piece about the Soduku craze sweeping India, was the revelation from a new biography that the father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi, conducted some sort of love affair with Saraladevi Chaudhuri, the married niece of acclaimed Bengali poet and philosopher Rabindranath Tagore...
