All Time Low - Future Hearts - Apr 07, 2015

TL;DR

This pretty much sums it up.

To me Dirty Work was a manifestation of what the band already was --> A Poprock band.
And it honestly seemed like a natural progression.
As far as I hear it Nothing Personal is their most "by the numbers" release to date.
And with Dirty Work they got back to making music for fun(both records sold pretty well btw).
It's all subjective and I can see how the obvious pop influences can throw old fans off.

EDIT:
Kids In The Dark is a pretty good song.
It seems a bit more serious, than what we are used to with ATL.

 

Honestly, I was really hoping we'd get some more mature material out of this album, and Kids In The Dark definitely has me even more stoked now, really digging it.

Edit: Music Video already launched

New song from the album, "Runaways" was just dropped yesterday.

 

I'm really liking the vibe of this album so far. All the songs have been great.

 

The album has leaked and a iTunes stream is available https://itunes.apple.com/au/station/idra.973290046?ls=1

I haven't listened yet, but hype.

 

Just came in to say that I love the Mark Hoppus feature.

I used to listen to ATL, not anymore, but that Hoppus feature got me excited for them again haha

 

After five listens.
It's fucking amazing.
I seriously didn't expect it to be *this* good.
The singles are the worst songs, and they aren't even bad songs.

 

I've been listening to it pretty much non-stop since yesterday, and I've been loving it. There isn't a single bad song on here, in my opinion. Runaways is probably my least favorite, but I still think it's a fantastic track.

 

My favorite song would have to be Bail Me Out, but it's really hard to pick favorites in this album! Dancing With a Wolf, Edge of Tonight and Old Scars/Future Hearts are all fantastic, and are my current picks.

I have to say, I'm really impressed with how much more mature the lyrical direction is in this album.

Official album stream is now available on Hopeless Record's Youtube.

Edit: It's come to my attention that the stream appears to not be available in certain countries, including the US (?)

 

This record is pretty solid.
I like the slight touch of synths here and there. Some songs kind of follow the Fall Out Boy's approach to rock 'n roll(like Edge of Tonight)

 

Am I the only one who thinks that "Dancing With a Wolf" could easily be a newschool FOB song?

 

God damn it.

I like "Something's Gotta Give".

 

THE CONVERSION HAS BEGUN


Edit: I am loving that this album seems to be getting negative reactions from a majority of hardcore ATL fans for the exact reasons why I think it's their best album.

 

It's alright. Not as good as Don't Panic but there are a handful of standout tracks.

 

So... it turns out All Time Low should've had the No. 1 album this week on the Billboard 200, but due to the way Billboard tracks album sales, Future Hearts lost out to the Fast & Furious 7 soundtrack for the No. 1 spot. Every other major outlet that tracks album sales has Future Hearts at No. 1, but because Billboard counts albums "shipped" rather than albums "sold," the Fast & Furious 7 soundtrack received the No. 1 spot because technically more soundtracks were shipped than were copies of Future Hearts. In reality, Future Hearts almost doubled the soundtrack's actual sales numbers.

Anyway, I finally got around to listening to it over the past couple days, and I didn't care for it at all.

 

I absolutely love The Edge of Tonight. And Tidal Waves. I didn't remember much else from that album.
