    The world is a tough place but it is one that is better with The Futureheads in it

  2. 8.0 |   Mojo

    The 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. Print edition only

    ‘Powers’ sees The Futureheads fight fiercely once again

    While there’s nothing here that quite matches the highest highs of their first pass, this is a welcome return for a singular and important band

  5. 7.0 |   Under The Radar

    While by no means a masterpiece, this is an impressive return to form from The Futureheads, a beloved band who thankfully didn't completely fall by the wayside

    A surprisingly sturdy comeback album that sounds exactly how you remember the Futureheads, and that, at least for nostalgia's sake at least, isn't a bad thing at all
