Katherine St Asaph: NEW YORK (Reuters) – The Brooklyn venue House of Vans abruptly closed its doors Wednesday after what officials have called a “grave disaster.” According to police recordings, audience members smuggled in a nearby kindergarten class from a field trip, flooded the room with narcotic gas, and began shouting until they were discovered.

Alfred Soto: Mastered to sound like a track downloaded below T1 speed in the Napster days, it can’t know quite what to do with the vocals. This is the quietest electro-arena track recorded.

Patrick St. Michel: It appears fucknoempireofthesun.tumblr.com doesn’t exist, despite this group problem having one of the more problematic visual sides in music today. Holy cultural appropriation! Move beyond that, and they also just look goofy as heck…once, at a mall, a friend who didn’t know these guys held up their CD with a look on his face saying “look at these fucking guys, right?” Thing is, I really like Empire of the Sun’s singles by themselves, and “Alive” is another song that’s sorta cheesy but also oddly affirming. It’s all delicate synths leading to an upbeat chorus that finds them hitting on a topic that seems to be there go-to, new love. It’s a simple but effective hook, built for light dance parties and personal mixtapes alike. Show me one of their videos or album covers and I’ll scrunch up my face, but I’m perfectly happy with just “Alive.”

Iain Mew: Luke Steele is never going to release a single to top “Good Dancers”, is he?

Scott Mildenhall: Still better at being MGMT than MGMT have been since MGMT were last a thing. With it’s joy-as-platitudes approach, this very much feels like it was written with TV sync deals in mind – the only thing it couldn’t advertise is a new MGMT album. For as long as cider, cars, phones and Center Parcs exist, songs like this will be necessary, and the world is a richer place for it.

Daniel Montesinos-Donaghy: Lo and behold, there is nothing TOO HUGE for Luke Steele. This is something that “Alive” reminds us with its blog-house drums, army-calibre chorus chants and strumalong guitars. These are HUGE sounding songs and not in a way that befits quality purposes – it is because of Steele’s necessity to overload the listener with bouncy melodies and hazily-mixed vocals, factors that cannot continue to cover for his vocal shortcomings. When Steele gives these songs to others, like he did for Usher’s “Looking 4 Myself,” his major key compositions are granted new leases of life. On “Alive,” though, the ostentatious approach fails to cloak Steele’s noxious charisma.

Will Adams: The falsetto bridge is gorgeous, commanding far more attention than the flimsy chorus melody. On the whole, the sound is just too familiar – the gloss, the filtered vocals, the clockwork drumkits – and I’m not convinced I’m getting anything that I didn’t get from “Walking On a Dream.”

Ian Mathers: I really do wish Empire of the Sun’s music lived up to their rhetoric/costuming, but Luke Steele can falsetto-bellow “say hello to the future” as much as he likes, this is still structually/sonically/melodically/lyrically totally standard.

David Lee: The buildup to the chorus is promising – echoes of “D.A.N.C.E.” and floating synths signify a euphoric rush a few lines down the road. But where I expect an exuberant chorus, I get a bleating, empty declaration of feeling alive.

Anthony Easton: It has been a shit couple of days. I am exhausted and frustrated, I need to get laid, and no one has brought me soup or baked goods. So no matter how cheesy or earnest this is, I love it.
