The Futureheads ‎– This Is Not The World CD PROMO

The Futureheads, who have had to go it alone since being dropped by their major label, have gone for the jugular with this album. No longer taking it "easy, humble and discreetly", as they sing on the title track, they now sound like the Jam, firing off aggressive salvos as though their subtle second album had never happened. There are hooks and harmonies aplenty, but the unrelenting punk pace is exhausting: only the balm of Hard to Bare offers any pause for thought, and the songwriting remains pedestrian. What begins as an exhilarating return to form turns into a desperate plea to be loved.
