  2. 8.0 |   Blurt

    ...despite his rock background, MacLean is buried much deeper in the world of electronic music straight from the club, and less in the world of dance-punk

  3. 8.0 |   Independent on Sunday

    Locks into a groove not unlike that of LCD's own masterpiece, Sound of Silver.

  4. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    The kind of album you could listen to loudly in a club, or at home with some headphones... Welcome back intelligent dance music, we've missed you

  7. 8.0 |   The Irish Times

    MacLean’s take on 1980s synth-pop and early 1990s piano house is respectful without being idolatrous, his feel for the tricks and textures of intelligent dance music protecting him from nostalgia.

  9. 7.0 |   Tiny Mix Tapes

    The Future Will Come blooms incrementally, driven from the ground by the grittiest keyboard performance heard on a dance album in some time

  10. 6.0 |   Eye Weekly

    The hitch is that Maclean and fellow vocalist Nancy Whang’s bid for Human League–style banter falls horribly flat
