I like it, but I feel like it's teetering on the edge between being really ****ing good and just pretty good. They are missing something that could take this music to the next level. I'm just not sure what that something is. Either way, I like listening to it. They are trying to put some originality into shoegaze, which is something the genre really lacks. That alone puts it in my "good shoegaze albums" list.

Future Perfect is an indie rock gem and a noise pop masterpiece. The first six tracks of the album are absolutely killer, and somewhere in the midst of "Blanket" and "Great Days for the Passenger Element" the album culminates in an orgy of erotic vibrations for the ears. The album is decidedly front loaded, but that's not to say the second half is bad- it's just a bit less orgasmic to the auditory senses.

Would recommend to anyone.
