UrbMarks a new high for Bianchi as a studio guru. [Oct 2005, p.78]
-
UncutWitty, tragi-comic lyrics layered over busy beats, strings and electronic flourishes which never sacrifice intimacy. [Nov 2005, p.114]
-
The Past Presents the Future strongly matches the high bar he has set with his past few albums.
-
Bianchi doesn’t seem to be traveling down any new paths.
-
Past Presents the Future falters between a coalesced pop sound and its pristine fragments.
-
Bianchi's not much for such subtleties, emotional or rhetorical, which may suggest he'll have as much lovelorn electro-symphonic melodrama to recount on future albums as on those past and present.
-
MojoThe songs are so wordy, the album so one-paced that it soon begins to sag. [Dec 2005, p.105]
