Dystopia – 5.667/7.000 A self proclaimed “dirty-organ rock” band from Melbourne, AU, the Midnight Juggernauts deliver a solid performance throughout their latest album, Dystopia. They continue to output the strongly electro-synth-based music they and their contemporaries (Justice, Cut Copy, Trans Am) are known for. However, in their most recent musical endeavor, they leave the aforementioned pastiches by tip-toeing into the ambient genre, decently with “Aurora” but not so decently with “Road to Recovery.” While they do move their musical style in this direction, they do not forget to put in the classic electronic-pop songs such as “Twenty Thousand Leagues” and the first-rate tracks “Nine Lives” and “Shadows.” Whilst taking the risk of pushing their fan’s expectations with the bit of ambient, the Juggernauts undoubtedly lost ground in their home-field of electro-pop but only a surprisingly small amount.
