    Ultimately, Future Women's fractured personality gives the album drama.

    The M's understand the value of a smartly delayed compositional payoff. [Mar 2006, p.124]

    Definitely the sound of a band indie lovers need to check out immediately.
  4. Billboard
    70
    The M's and their "Future Women" not only jog the memories of rock past, but are memorable in their own right.
  5. Tiny Mix Tapes
    70
    These four Kinks followers have incorporated all manner of brass and strings into turn of the millennium Top 40 rock sensibilities, with shades of early Flaming Lips indie psychedelia and classic rock songwriting.
  6. Paste Magazine
    70
    As sophisticated as these songs are, it's The M's' offhanded performance that really sells them, giving Future Women the feel of a particularly solid live show. [Apr/May 2006, p.111]

    Uninspired and monotonous. [#13, p.93]

This album caught me completely by surprise. They have a hint of The Kinks, The Beatles, and they have such a great sound that is both tight as a band, and loose with their influences and overall style. Really excellent live show (saw them in Seattle), and their album really is quite well put together. I'm eagerly awaiting where they go from here!… Expand

    i tried to get into this record. it seems like everything is in place. but there is something missing.... there's no real feeling or i tried to get into this record. it seems like everything is in place. but there is something missing.... there's no real feeling or emotion... and it ends up being soul-less and in the end totally disposable. i can't listen to this album again and it's headed to a shallow grave in the local record store's used bin. there was only one decent song "Trucker Speed"... other than that it's a bunch of bland indie rock made by bland indie rockers trying to sound like T-REX...… Expand
