This review refers to
This Is Not The World (CD version).
I was a huge fan of the first album, and even though the industry and public didn't seem to warm to the second album I was a huge fan of that release too...
... However, I am pleased to say that I consider the Futureheads latest release to be an awe inspiring return to greatness. If you liked the fast pace, and unforgettable guitar riffs of the first album, and the quicker numbers from the second, this album will inspire you. From the opening bars of 'The Beginning of the Twist', to my personal favourite; ' Broke Up Time', it's certainly a return to what the Sunderland foursome do best. Quick, guitar led melodies, perfectly suited vocal harmonies, and a tightness that you don't see in a lot of recording bands.
This album has lived in my car since it was delivered, and even after sitting in traffic for over two hours with the album on repeat, I didn't find myself reaching for the next button once. I know it gets said a lot, but in my opinion, there isn't a bad track on the album.
