[Anonymous]Jun 14, 2010Regardless of how you feel about prior Hot Hot Heat albums, or if you haven't even heard them, "Future Breeds" fully represents the direction the band wanted to take. This album is an incredible sound-scape journey driven by intense rhythms and is full of uncompromised artistic vision.

AlexKJun 18, 2010Even better than what I expected, and absolutely convinced it's a grower.

Under The RadarJust as one starts thinking there's not enough to grasp onto here, and there is generally too much all-over-the-place weirdness, one is hit by something like the impassioned singing at the end of "Jeddidiah," the climactic strings that come out of nowhere on "Buzinezz as Usual," or the breakneck rhythmic shifts of the punk rave up "Implosionatic." [Summer 2010, p.84]

The tension between the band's hooky ways and their need to break away from them is almost palpable on Future Breeds, but pop wins this tug-of-war on its standout tracks.

While Future Breeds isn't quite as top notch as their 'Bandages'-spawning hit, it is a strong album nonetheless and probably their finest work since.
