Product Description

CD Description

Having been unceremoniously dropped by their previous record label, 679, The Futureheads embarked on something of a crusade for independent music with their self-released third album 'This Is Not The World'. Clearly disillusioned with the lacklustre performance of their second album ('News And Tributes'), this release represents a lunge for creative and industrial freedom for the band. Musically a step back into thesprightly and motivated territory covered on their self-titled debut, 'This Is Not The World' is not designed to be subtle. Includes the single 'Radio Heart'.

4.0 out of 5 stars the futureheads are on pile driving good form, 26 May 2008
By Bernard Davis "Bernard Davis" (Birmingham, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
The spirit of New Wave is alive on this new Futureheads album. While the music has that jagged post-punk edge its motors along fueled by the energy and enthusiasm of 1978 - 1980. Like the Jam, Give Em' Enough Rope era Clash, early Undertones, the Ruts and the Skids? You'll love this! The band keep the pace up song after song, but just as it might all get a bit much they open out their sound for the second half of the album, starting with getting over a relationship song Hard to Bear. The lyrics here are basic, but as Barry Hyde sings them you realise what those bands of 30 years ago were missing - a decent tyneside accent. The Futureheads seem to chosen to put the best songs on the album towards the end. Broke Up The Time pumps furiously like a long distance runner finding their second wind as they catch sight of the finish line. The melodic rush of See What You Want To See finishes the album on triumphant form and must surely be a future single.

The Futureheads have proved that their old label were fools to drop them. But never mind that. With this album they show how good a band they can be.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply magnificent, 28 July 2008
Even those who've given this 4 stars do it a huge disservice. It may not be identical to previous lp's (since when's that been a bad thing?) but it's unmistakably Futureheads. This time though, they're more majestic and anthemic. The choruses are simply huge. I don't agree with a previous reviewer who laments the disappearance of the trademark harmonies. Total nonsense. They're still there alright, but this time they're working with each other more, rather than against each other, making for a sound that is greater than the sum of it's parts and careers along at feral pace while delivering classic and addictive hooks. Their style is unique and the quality of the songs, musicianship and vocals is better than anything else it is mistakenly compared to by other reviewers here. So how anyone can say they've heard this all before is beyond me (unless you're referencing Real By Reel by XTC). The title track is probably the most rousingly glorious song I've ever heard.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Stuff, 2 Jun 2008
By G. L. Williams "simplygregguk" (South West England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Futureheads have returned with a brilliant and edgy album that acts as a nice antidote to some boring music currently entertaining the charts.

First single 'Beginning Of The Twist' starts off the album in exhilarating fashion and will become a festival favourite this summer.
'Walking Backwards' is equally as impressive and shows the futureheads can maintain quality on an album which was inconsistent on previous effort 'News and Tributes.'

'Think Tonight' sounds like an old Ramones record and is superb, with a brilliant intro!

'Radio Heart' is the second single and is enjoyable but lacks a killer chorus to really become a classic.

Title track 'This Is Not The World' is also a good song but doesn't maintain the good start.

'Sale Of The Century' is the albums highlight. A stunning song which should be a future single!

'Hard To Bear' continues the good run of SOTC and could be a future single perhaps.

'Work Is Never Done' is anoth futureheads classic, with a great intro and great chorus it is brilliant.

'Broke Up The Time' delivers a frantic opening and continues throughout the song to create a nice little tune!

'Everything's Changing Today' is a good album track but one you will probably forget soon after.

'Sleet' is poor and shouldnt be on the album.

'See What You Want' ends the album in a great way. Great intro and chorus.

It is easy to see why this album has received good reviews in the press, namely Q and NME. It is far better than 'News and Tributes' and returns the band back to the brilliant style of their debut album.

A must have for alternative music fans!
