<font size="1">added on February 2, 2007, at 21:25 by eilam</font><br /><br /><table><tr valign="top"><td>The second album from Sunderland's The Futureheads, News And Tributes is the sound of a band not only brave enough to toss away a fistful of their trump cards, but sharp enough to slip a few fresh ones from their sleeve. Where their joyfully guileless debut rattled along on breathless four-part harmonies and breakneck new-wave hooks a la Elvis Costello or The Jam, here we find The Futureheads injecting their structure with a fresh sense of space and a newly wistful, reflective melodic edge. In true post-punk fashion, `Fallout' and `Burnt' tackle love und romance without resorting to cliché, the former a harmony-laden break-up/make-up number tinted with Cold War paranoia, the latter an arch, propulsive construction reminiscent of art-punks Wire that compares falling in love to sustaining third-degree burns. Occasional dark sentiments aside, however, News And Tributes remains a beautifully crafted, melodically memorable rock record. Apart, that is, from "Return Of The Berserker"--a cacophonous mid-album rampage that sees The Futureheads turning amps up to 11 and dipping the dials into the red, seemingly just to show they still can.--Louis Pattison</td><td><script type="text/javascript">google_ad_client = "pub-5821412950245701";google_alternate_color = "F5F5FF";google_ad_width = 336;google_ad_height = 280;google_ad_format = "336x280_as";google_ad_type = "text";google_ad_channel = "0725529317";google_color_border = "F5F5FF";google_color_bg = "F5F5FF";google_color_link = "22229C";google_color_text = "000000";google_color_url = "333333";</script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="15"><tr align="center"><td valign="bottom"><a href="http://www.allcdcovers.com/show/807/futureheads_news_and_tributes_2006_retail_cd/front"><img src="/image_system/covers_th/5/9/59667619199b028342a796864ce5688e.jpg" border="0"></a><br><strong><a href="http://www.allcdcovers.com/show/807/futureheads_news_and_tributes_2006_retail_cd/front">Front</a></strong><br><font size="1">942 x 924 px</font></td><td valign="bottom"><a href="http://www.allcdcovers.com/show/807/futureheads_news_and_tributes_2006_retail_cd/back"><img src="/image_system/covers_th/5/1/518b3b39c753437da206ee2fbf1119fa.jpg" border="0"></a><br><strong><a href="http://www.allcdcovers.com/show/807/futureheads_news_and_tributes_2006_retail_cd/back">Back</a></strong><br><font size="1">1791 x 1379 px</font></td><td valign="bottom"><a href="http://www.allcdcovers.com/show/807/futureheads_news_and_tributes_2006_retail_cd/cd"><img src="/image_system/covers_th/2/b/2bc3949e026f203346d2e390b3f97253.jpg" border="0"></a><br><strong><a href="http://www.allcdcovers.com/show/807/futureheads_news_and_tributes_2006_retail_cd/cd">CD</a></strong><br><font size="1">976 x 980 px</font></td></tr></table>
