Top Songs of 2010: #4 Echoes -- Klaxons 

Echoes -- Klaxons

2010 saw Klaxons release their long-awaited second album, a harsher, more guitar driven album than their debut from a few years ago. It is still the same dense, hard to process, somewhere between-rave-and-rock sound, though this time around it's a bit more rock than rave.

The album also has one of the great album covers of all time:

Echoes is the best song that Muse never wrote. Given that Muse gets all the hype for creating "sci-fi rock", and rock stations spent about a thousand hours hyping Muse's rip-off of Blondie's "Call Me" (which was possibly the worst song of 2009), it's horrifically unfair that I've only heard Echoes played on the radio a handful of times (and it was on one of the XM indie rock stations at that).
