    Alhough there's nothing here as insanely catchy as "Wrecking Ball," the album as a whole is probably more consistent than Lovers, Lead the Way! and can make a strong claim as being the band's best.

    Whenever Future starts to glide along too airily, the Robinsons can be trusted to use their on-off harmonies to give their best songs a spark that helps them rise above as merely sounding pretty.

    It may not pack as firm as a punch as previous Viva Voce albums, but when they get their shots in you'll feel the sting. [Jul 011, p.112]

    Viva Voce's 2011 release The Future Will Destroy You is an expansive and somewhat slow-burning mix of the indie rock, psych rock, and pop sounds they've delved into over the years.
