Motion City Soundtrack - 'The Future Freaks Me Out' (Epitaph)
3/5
By: Toby L
MCS face the prospects of getting a bit Manics-y on us during the opening fifteen seconds of their latest synth-punk-yelp cacophony, 'The Future Freaks Me Out'. Yet, when was James-Dean Bradfield quite this fun?
Air-headed, infectious, yet tinged with an earnest heart - not least aided by some wonderfully noisy guitar chugs and howls, and Mr. J Pierre's wonky vocal contortions - 'The Future...' is a feisty three minutes bearing a hundred ideas and verse-sections each vying for an equal placing on a spinning disc that simply can't quite accommodate them all. Good attempt, though.
