Futureheads
News and Tributes
(679/Startime/Vagrant)

�

"It's as if the Futureheads have turned their attention from U.K.'s post-punk linchpins to their American counterparts-particularly Mission of Burma, Fugazi and H�sker D�-with the inevitable maturing of their own style providing crucial topspin." (Time out London)

�

"This new album may introduce fans to a stripped down, slower and less erratic Futureheads, but the band still knows its way around a great pop song. One quality News and Tributes shares with its debut: It's catchy as sin." (Pitchfork)

�

"It might not awaken the same delight as its predecessor, but its cries should resonate as long and as loud." (Uncut)

�

"It's catchy, it's warm, it changes mood mid-song, and they get away with the rhyme. It's what scientists might call a conclusion." (NME)
