Unfortunately though, behind this confused display of hinted intelligence from lead singer Jack Barnett, the music is too bland to be fully engaging and there's too many times where their efforts come out sounding too weak to provoke anything out of the listener.

It doesn't help that lyrically Barnett contradicts himself almost instantly on the album: "Every number has a meaning/Every number has a meaning" is sung in the same tone as "Numerology is bullshit" in the imaginatively titled 'Numbers' and immediately the lyrical content and themes that the band has wrapped themselves in is reduced to just words.

If you do somehow ignore the lyrics These New Puritans can sometimes come across as interesting but it's almost always intercepted by a simple disco hi-hats on the drums or disco bass-lines and the band begin to unintentionally glide into the "Klaxons v2.0" territory that critics have motioned at since their inception.

Overall though, the band just seem too unconfident and too confused to properly present their ideas, which is a vast contrast to earlier releases from the band, such as the 15-minute (almost-epic) 'Navigate, Navigate'.

'Beat Pyramid' is a wasted monochrome Klaxons exercise, victim to four people trying too hard.
