MojoAug 27, 2019The moving Electric Shock incorporates joyous synths and Headcase is berserk thrash-pop brilliance. Dizzying closer, Mortals, meanwhile, might have been a Top 10 hit in the early '80s. [Oct 2019, p.86]

Sep 3, 2019It takes a lot of effort and maturity for a band to identify when things go wrong and make a decision to work it out. It's also a great relief when a band can come back from that kind of struggle with something as strong and potent as Powers.

Aug 30, 2019The band rounds out the album with more familiar-sounding songs like "Stranger in a New Town" and "Good Night Out," but it's Powers' riskier, more revealing moments that prove the Futureheads have more to say than ever before.
