    It's a version of All Time Low that not only has zero interest in moving past its pop-punk roots, but is embracing them with more vigor and pride than ever, laying the groundwork for punk bands that imagine a world where "maturing" doesn't mean leaving behind what you grew up loving.

    Ultimately, with Future Hearts, All Time Low have delivered an almost perfect blend of stadium-ready fist pumpers, ballads, and fuel-injected pop hits.

    If you love pop-punk in its most unadulterated, carefree form, you'll heart this. [28 Mar 2015, p.52]

    There's no obvious attempt at chasing a single or brass ring, just improvements on a sound the group have been trading in for more than a decade--and upgrades that might very well have resulted in their best album to date. [May 2015, p.95]

    They’re never going to reinvent the wheel, and there are a few moments (halfway mark ‘Missing You’ springs to mind) that feel a little too much. But there is something intensely satisfying in their sugary hooks and their handle on catchy, unadulterated melodies.

    This record accomplishes what it sets out to do, engaging the listener with indisputably catchy moments, if a little inconsistently, throughout.

    Fourteen tracks is way too long for ATL's brand of music and while you get a few pop anthems, most of the music comes off forced and really lacking effort.

    When you think of a mic of everything that All Time Low has ever done, this is the album that should cross your mind. Each and every song onWhen you think of a mic of everything that All Time Low has ever done, this is the album that should cross your mind. Each and every song on this record displays a different mood and emotion, but in a cohesive and un-messy way. And while this record does have new sounds and styles, it still doesn't stray away from their pop-punk roots. In fact, they are embracing them on this record and making them sound good with other sounds.

    This album definitely stands out from their other records, in terms of how summery and uplifting a lot of these tracks are. The tracks I find myself going back to a lot are Cinderblock Garden, Dancing With a Wolf, The Edge of Tonight, and Don't You Go. These four songs in particular prove very well that All Time Low can in fact experiment with different sounds and moods, and make them all sound amazing. I absolutely love this album, it's a 4/5 for me.

    Most of the tracks are somewhat enjoyable, even if some are less memorable. However, some highlights bring this album's score up significantlyMost of the tracks are somewhat enjoyable, even if some are less memorable. However, some highlights bring this album's score up significantly including singles Something's Gotta Give and Kids in the Dark and other tracks like Missing You and Dancing With a Wolf which stand tall compared to the other tracks.

    However, every other track I can find some enjoyment in. Some of the less interesting ones to me would be opener Satellite, Cinderblock Garden, Don't Let Go and Bail Me Out. Still, definitely worth a listen    … Full Review »
