GarrisonSJul 17, 2007I have just been introduced to the future heads yesterday when i bought the itunes playlist "Alt-Rock Workout" which contained "Hounds of Love". It is the only futureheads song i have heard yet, but i am very eager to hear more. The song is very catchy, and the Oh-oh oh gets stuck in your head. I definitely recommend it.

Kirby'sAvalanche.Jun 6, 2006An original ingredient added to a tried-and-true formula. Catchy brain-glue harmonys (Beach Boys) over angular skin-piercing rhythms (Gang of Four).

DuncanSFeb 18, 2006Seriously one of the worst, most annoying records I've ever heard. The a capella, the "harmonising", the tuneless "mod-ness". Its only saving grace is the occasional decent lyric.

Ah-oh-oh(Ah-oh-oh)Feb 6, 2006Probably the best band in the world. New album April 11 in Canada. Seriously, with Radiohead and Deerhoof in terms of songwriting ability.

SteveDOct 12, 2005XTC for the 21st Century. Lots of angles, lots of bite and Hounds Of Love is a masterpiece.

DamianaVSep 16, 2005Thoroughly brilliant, obscenely exciting. A masterwork that dazzles with every listen.

lucafJul 27, 2005yes, the futureheads are a brilliant band indeed, but at the same time their debut is not a real masterwork. It's a promise, a consistent promise.

PaulMJul 14, 2005This album makes my head hurt. Intensely annoying except for the entertaining Kate Bush cover.
-
-
BradSJul 11, 2005This album is blatantly overhyped. While not a terrible work, it most certainly lacks the substance and cohesiveness of a great album. The frantic pace, repitiveness and lack of depth left me altogether unimpressed.

JerryLJul 8, 2005A perfect record from start to finish. Brilliant. Great live band as well.

PaulJApr 3, 2005This album is beyond anything i have listened to in the last 2 years and what sets it even further apart from other albums, is i am only truly truly amazed by 1 track! "Hounds Of Love" is just addictive. *Allows song to repeat for 27th time today* Brilliant band, brilliant songs, brilliant experience.
