    Love Frequency feels overly polished and not entirely convincing. [Jul 2014, p.91]

    The only trouble is, it all feels a little... dated.

    Love Frequency lacks a song that really pulls you along with it into those higher planes of emotion that Klaxons obviously inhabit daily.

    Love Frequency only occasionally sets the pulse racing.

    Love Frequency isn’t a terrible album, but at times it does feel terribly unimaginative.

    Love Frequency isn’t a complete disaster, if only because the new, chastised, and chaste Klaxons aren’t really capable of doing anything that could inspire that sort of animus. At their best, Klaxons dredge up the kind of sounds that keep the Coachella Sahara Tent bumping all weekend, composed to be aggressive and participatory, yet strangely ambient and easy to ignore.

    It's well done, but the price of reinvention has been the band's personality. [Jul 2014, p.76]

    There simply isn’t enough variation, with the overwhelming presence of Righton’s one dimensional vocals lacking allure after a few tracks and the invariable electronica also doing little to excite or surprise.

    Most songs need both depth and edge. With Love Frequency, Klaxons have tuned in. What they really need to do, however, is freak out. [Jul 2014, p.105]
