Non sappiamo quanto ci sia di studiato e quanto di casuale, ma aprire un disco coi versi "It's time to wake up, it's time to change", è il chiaro segnale di una presa di coscienza. I Futureheads hanno avvertito la necessità di un cambio di direzione dopo i primi due album e hanno messo in pratica questa esigenza con un lavoro di potenziamento muscolare sulle melodie e soprattutto sui riff di chitarra, più preminenti che in passato. Rimangono i ritmi spezzati e gli equilibrismi delle armonie vocali a tre, ma qui viene ostentata la sicurezza di chi non teme di farsi male, cadendo. I ragazzi, in fondo, sono cresciuti a pane e punk. E pezzi come "Think Tonight" e la title-track rappresentano qualcosa di più che un tentativo di emulazione. Rispetto alle band che tendono a rammollirsi disco dopo disco, loro tengono duro.

Tracklist:

The Beginning Of The Twist
Walking Backwards
Think Tonight
Radio Heart
This Is Not The World
Sale Of The Century
Hard To Bear
Work Is Never Done
Broke Up The Time
Everything's Changing Today
Sleet
See What You Want

Un pregio:
riff potenti, voce graffiante, sonorità punk, il tutto amalgamato a testi divertenti

Un difetto: il fatto che non ci siano canzoni "alternative" o comunque in conflitto con la normale struttura delle canzoni abituali dei Futureheads limita sicuramente le potenzialità della band

Saluti.

01   The Beginning of the Twist (03:36)

It's time to wake up
It's time to change
Let's get it started
I feel like there's so much to rearrange
Come on, I need your help with this
Why don't we get it started with a kiss?

If memory serves
Then why am I still waiting for it to return?
My head feels like it's just about to slip
This morning is just a blur
Today lingers on like a bad year

I can feel it
I conceal it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist

I can feel it
I conceal it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist

I can feel it
I conceal it...
Beginning of the twist

I can feel it
I conceal it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist

We get along well
We talk a lot
I made some promises, I guess that I totally forgot
Forgive me, my mind has been elsewhere
Feels like somebody's thrown it down the stairs

It's not good enough
(I've heard these same excuses before)
I thought you knew enough about it
But you still want more
Today I don't feel so ill
If only I could find the time, I want to kill

I can feel it
I conceal it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist

I can feel it
I conceal it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist

I can feel it
I conceal it...
Beginning of the twist

I can feel it
I conceal it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist

I can feel it
I can feel it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist

I can feel it
I can feel it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist

I can feel it
I can feel it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist

I can feel it
I can feel it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist

I can feel it
I conceal it...
Beginning of the twist

I can feel it
I conceal it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist

I can feel it
I conceal it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist

I can feel it
I conceal it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist
