    Not bad, but disappointing. Ideas that once sounded fresh and exciting are now a bit tired.

    I’ll always give credit for trying something new, but I’d expect a bit more from Electrelane after the strength of their prior album.

    Fans of The Power Out are thrown enough of a bone with Axes to stick with Electrelane for another album, but let's hope that the former is not ultimately the anomaly. [#9]

    While there's some fresh experimenting and choral loveliness, it sounds formulaic and tired by Electrelane's standards.
