    When you think of a mic of everything that All Time Low has ever done, this is the album that should cross your mind. Each and every song on this record displays a different mood and emotion, but in a cohesive and un-messy way. And while this record does have new sounds and styles, it still doesn't stray away from their pop-punk roots. In fact, they are embracing them on this record andWhen you think of a mic of everything that All Time Low has ever done, this is the album that should cross your mind. Each and every song on this record displays a different mood and emotion, but in a cohesive and un-messy way. And while this record does have new sounds and styles, it still doesn't stray away from their pop-punk roots. In fact, they are embracing them on this record and making them sound good with other sounds.

    This album definitely stands out from their other records, in terms of how summery and uplifting a lot of these tracks are. The tracks I find myself going back to a lot are Cinderblock Garden, Dancing With a Wolf, The Edge of Tonight, and Don't You Go. These four songs in particular prove very well that All Time Low can in fact experiment with different sounds and moods, and make them all sound amazing. I absolutely love this album, it's a 4/5 for me.

    Favorites: Cinderblock Garden, Dancing With a Wolf, The Edge of Tonight, Don't You Go, Bail Me Out (feat. Joel Madden)
    Least favorites: Old Scars / Future Hearts    … Expand

    Most of the tracks are somewhat enjoyable, even if some are less memorable. However, some highlights bring this album's score up significantly including singles Something's Gotta Give and Kids in the Dark and other tracks like Missing You and Dancing With a Wolf which stand tall compared to the other tracks.

    This is the second album I've heard from All Time Low (the first one is "Last Young Renegade", a fine album that was enough to convince me to listen to more of their stuff) so I don't really know the trend of their sound. All I can say that this album is a collection of heartfelt, sometimes reminiscent, most of the time enjoyable songs. I'm a fan of pop first, a fan of rock second.

All I can say that this album is a collection of heartfelt, sometimes reminiscent, most of the time enjoyable songs. I'm a fan of pop first, a fan of rock second. Their sound is a cohesive amalgam of the two. This is very easy to listen to and the feeling it gives off takes me to good places. For now, this will serve as a benchmark to be compared to their other albums. In short, I'M TOTALLY DIGGING THIS. I'm a newly-converted fan of theirs now.… Expand

    This album is a lot different than the previous ones. But I don't regret it. I think this is the best thing they've showed us so far. While listening to this album I always get kind of emotional. Alex is a great vocalist and they are all amazing songwriters because this can really motivate me, make me happy and all smiley. Future Hearts is one of my favorites albums.

    All Time Low finally puts together an album worthy of competing against great pop/rock bands like Fall Out Boy and All American Rejects, which are keeping pop/punk bands in the spotlight whereas the exceedingly poppy punk/rock bands are churning out decent albums with little star power.

Future Hearts won't likely win much radio time, but the album is absolutely the band's best and deserves a spin from anyone that still gravitates toward this style of music. I wouldn't hate it if ATL were to put a little more teeth into their work, but the charming and slick-production approach that Future Hearts is based on works just as well.… Expand

    When I first saw this album, I was hoping that I would get the same excitement and edge in "Don't Panic" but was rather disappointed when I did get to listen to it. The structuring, catchy tunes and sound did get better but unfortunately since they did use a more "pop" way of making the album, it was rather boring for someone like me who enjoyed older albums like "So Wrong It's Right".When I first saw this album, I was hoping that I would get the same excitement and edge in "Don't Panic" but was rather disappointed when I did get to listen to it.

Some songs showed that they could still be fun to head bang to but it seemed like it was mellowed down. Generally, I think the album could have been better but didn't live up to some fans like me. It just lacked the power and energy that could have made the entire thing a lot better but despite all of that, it's still a decent album to get if you like calmer and more soothing type of pop rock.… Expand

    All Time Low have really upped their game, and this is evident from their sixth album Future Hearts. They've definitely evolved and, thankfully, for the better. The album has a real Pop Punk feel, and the lyrics is, as usual, very meaningful. You'll be humming songs like Kids In The Dark, Dancing With A Wolf and Something's Gotta Give all day. This album is a must-listen for Pop Punk fans.

    Fourteen tracks is way too long for ATL's brand of music and while you get a few pop anthems, most of the music comes off forced and really lacking effort.

    It's a version of All Time Low that not only has zero interest in moving past its pop-punk roots, but is embracing them with more vigor and pride than ever, laying the groundwork for punk bands that imagine a world where "maturing" doesn't mean leaving behind what you grew up loving.

    Ultimately, with Future Hearts, All Time Low have delivered an almost perfect blend of stadium-ready fist pumpers, ballads, and fuel-injected pop hits.
