    Perfect guitar pop album. Not a bad song from first to last. The Replacements would be proud of Elizabeth Stokes and her bandmates!

    No fillers, this album is full of infectious hooks, bright melodies, and accessable songwriting. Amazing first album! Haven't heard a first album be this good end to end since.... maybe the Strokes? It's been a long time.

    The only thing this album lacks is originality but outside of that they have everything in spades and then some. From top to bottom this album does not lack a quality song which is amazingly impressive but even more so is that some songs just burst with energy and depth.

A truly quality LP and an even more amazing full length debut. Many top band's greatest hits albums envy this debut.… Expand

    Stokes lacks Barnett’s songwriting diversity, worldliness and clever wordplay; too many of the songs on Future Me Hates Me are interchangeable, built on quiet, jangly verses and fuzz-button sing-along choruses that lament the usual litany of “I” and “me” woes.

    This is taut, Blondie-cool guitar-pop with a finger on the self-destruct tab. [Oct 2018, p.90]

    The whole album is vastly enjoyable, but it finishes in an especially strong way in a sequence that starts with exuberant, pop-buzzing “Happy Unhappy,” continues into the gorgeous, lushly harmonized, anthemic “River Run Lvl 1” and ends in that “Whatever” version gushed over two paragraphs above.
