    Disappointing, considering that their last album is one of my favorites. There's a few good songs, and the Area EP is a nice addition, but overall it just isn't nearly as good.

    The drawback of News and Tributes more relaxed pace, is that the underdeveloped side of their work is more exposed.

    Their trademark vigor is often missing. [16 Jun 2006, p.75]

    Get past the more pedestrian fare like "Yes/No" and "Return of the Berserker," and the full scope of the Futureheads' ambition reveals itself, particularly in the poppiest track, "Skip To The End."
