The 2005 self-titled debut by this Vancouver act crammed thunderous guitar riffing, shimmying art rock, stoned psych-folk, and prog shape-shifting into one of the year's great surprises. In The Future carries the weight of anticipation on considerably broader shoulders. Everything about this album is bigger and more ambitious. If Future suffers a bit from the lack of an immediate tune like "Don't Run Our Hearts Around" or "No Satisfaction", the sheer scope of "Tyrants" and the 16-minute "Bright Lights" alone provide no shortage of treasures to plunder. And these folks have never sounded as hazily sexy as on the stellar "Wucan".
