The Futureheads - News and Tributes
On its excellent debut album, Decent Days and Nights, England’s Futureheads rivaled Scotland’s Franz Ferdinand for twitching, thrashing, just-can’t-stop dance-pop. The Yorkshire band’s followup is a more ambitious and measured affair. Although “Return of the Berserker” is undeniably frenetic, mid-tempo songs like the joyful “Skip to the End,” the choral-laced “Worry About it Later” and the touching title track, about Manchester United’s 1958 Munich air disaster, tackle mature, refreshingly thoughtful topics.
