Album Review.... Futures - The Karma Album

After a long time waiting Futures have finally released their first full length début album, after two years since 'The Holiday' they've perfected their live shows, been briefly signed to Mercury records and then left. This is more of a celebration to their integrity and for the their fans. But was 'The Karma Album' worth the wait?

'Start A Fire', 'Islands In The Sea' and 'Karma Satellite' started off the album in tremendous form, with quick fast paced guitar work and choruses to sing to your hearts content! Yet 'Get Out' doesn't seem to go the same way as the tracks before it, but towards the end the song picks up and gives you a rush of guitars and a funky bass line. 'Indigo' is a slow jam just like 'Million Lights', the latter seems to take some lyrics from Morning Parade's song 'Carousel', just listen, it might be a a coincidence but still, it takes a bit off the track for me.



'Say My Name' as been around the internet as a demo for the past year and after getting very attached to it I was pleasantly surprised that the full version of the song is just as poignant as the demo. The band also thought it a good idea to re-do 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf', this wasn't as good as I thought it could be, but it does boast a better mix of the song in general.

The album could've been a bit more daring as it could've been considering they're releasing it on their own, but after a year of not knowing weather they'll ever release the album to finally doing so it's not entirely worth the wait but it's a good record to listen to.
