The Futureheads have defeated the machine at its own game and made a record that’s every bit as vibrant and vital as their 2004 debut.
-
The Futureheads are the Futureheads on their third full-length, This Is Not the World--rhythmically anxious, melodically electrifying, and almost mechanically precise.
-
MojoTheir third album is a confident return with staccato guitar/vocal interplay re-infused with wit and mechanical melodies. [June 2008, p.106]
-
This Is Not The World isn't quite the breathless playground once populated by robots and carnival kids, but 'Think Tonight' possesses a fist-pumping riff that's one piano short of an Andrew W.K. song. [July 2008, p.96]
-
This Is Not the World sounds more like a Buzzcocks record--a merry collection of punk cut-ups.
-
'Think Tonight' is only one of several strong numbers on This is Not the World. In fact, it’s easy to imagine the Futureheads as just a classic tune or two away from breakthrough status.
-
Since the Futureheads are a talented bunch of lads (who will hopefully live to fight again), some nuances do manage to leak through.... Sadly, the rest of the record tends to blur together, an unmemorable mass of whoo-alright.
