Additional information
Edition features a bonus DVD with all the band's videos, plus four songs from a Newcastle concert in 2004. From "Le Garage," the opening salvo on this Sunderland, England rock outfit's eponymous debut, to the album's jittery closer, "Man Ray," THE FUTUREHEADS blasts your stereo speakers right off the wall. Brandishing propulsive rhythms, nervous guitar lines, and zingy, hook-filled songs, the Futureheads blend punk, power-pop, and a quirky, sometimes zany, sensibility into an immediately appealing package. Their exuberance is evident everywhere, from the energetic melodies of "A to B" to the push-and-pull of "The City Is Here for You to Use" to their superb cover of Kate Bush's "Hounds of Love." At first listen, the Futureheads recall other early-2000s post-punk revivalists. But while the band take notable cues from icons like XTC (particularly in their heavy, biting British accents) and Gang of Four (the revered group's Andy Gill produces numerous tracks here), they also display a penchant for unique, memorable songcraft that sets them apart from their peers. Particularly notable is the ensemble's use of complex, layered vocals (note the a cappella tune "Danger of the Water"), with harmonies and choral parts ringing out among the thunderous assault of guitars, bass, and drums. Pound for pound, THE FUTUREHEADS is tremendous fun, and marks the arrival of a band to watch.
Reviews
Rolling Stone (p.104) - 4 stars out of 5 - "As fidgety guitars collide with rapid-fire harmonies over pogo-inducing drums, guitarist Barry Hyde yelps excitedly in his unapologetically thick accent." Spin (p.124) - "They add enough kinds to the old herky-jerky formulae to make their half-hour in the sun blaze by like nobody's business." - Grade: B+ Entertainment Weekly (p.85) - "Futureheads wisely keep things short, sharp, and shocked..." - Grade: B+ Alternative Press (p.144) - "The Futureheads will give you everything you need, if you just let them." - 5 out of 5 Magnet (p.98) - "[They] seem less concerned with pilfering from their parents' record collections and more interested in joyously bouncing through two-minute blasts of catharsis." CMJ (p.4) - "40 minutes of no-nonsense melodic pop over rootsy punk rhythms and restrained, rhythmic guitar licks..."

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

No communication needed with seller, so don't know what to rate with regards to communication (please dont take lack of feedback on this matter as a negative). Thanks again.

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.
