 weak effort October 5, 2008

loved Beams, was very excited to get this. 'If I Know You' is a very lovely song, but the rest of it is pretty forgettable, and tracks 3, 4, and 5 work the same exact riff...huh? The lead singer's overwrought bombast seems like a weak Depeche Mode ripoff ('Talk Like That'), and his yodelly yawp gets tired. It works great on 'If I know You', very passionate, but not so much anywhere else. Where Beams was incredibly diverse , and full of hooks, this is fully of lazy synth lines, generic drum machine plonk, and little else. oh well.
 Presets! at the Disco October 16, 2008
Daniel Midson Short (Sydney Australia)
Having been a raving fan of this develish duo for several years, and having seen their evolution from bedroom rockers to international dance acclaim, I was very keen to get my hands on their sophomore effort.
At first listen however, I was panicking that the Presets had sold their electro souls to ensure dance chart success. It seemed every track on Apocalypso was unashamdely directed towards the dancefloor.
Yet after reading several interviews with the band, it became clear just how much they have both become raving ravers due to their incessant touring in nightclubs around the world. This has greatly affected the way they write and produce their brand of music. After I understood this ethos, I could easily appreciate this effort and the sheer quality of each track.
Julian's voice especially stands out on several of the tracks as he uses more of his unique vocal style to lead the tracks. The production and instrumentation is once again a cut above anything else I've heard in the electro-alternative realm.
If you're an early presets fan, give this a spin and some room to grow, and at the very least put it on at your next party. If you're new to the Presets, you're in for one hell of a ride.
