CRITIC REVIEWS
80
Bastille have always been the go-to band for pop-centred positivity, but Give Me The Future at title glance seems to beg for something more post-pandemic, as opposed to finding the light within it.
80
The most expansive, yet cohesive record Bastille have put their name to. In fact, they may have created a perfect soundtrack to life after lockdown.
80
‘Give Me The Future’ offers listeners a healthy amount of escapism to push through and adopt a degree of optimism.
80
Give Me the Future offers a rare moment of optimism for what’s to come.
80
Gorgeous melodies and references to Aldous Huxley and Philip K Dick make the pop-rockers’ fourth record bizarre but beautiful.
80
While their peers may bemoan the failings of a brand new world, fourth album ‘Give Me The Future’ embraces the possibilities of a limitless universe.
80
It is a consistent album, no real weak tracks and enjoyable to listen to a few times…but I think I will put on my headset and head off to Tamriel instead.
80
From artificial intelligence to creating a whole new world online, Give Me The Future explores the modern age of technological advancement and what this means for mankind through the prism of electro-pop.

This concept piece about a technology takeover is at its best departing from the theme.

Their fourth album contains a good chunk of more-ish electro-pop, but I can’t handle the cuts with horrible Eighties stadium choruses, major key cheese, and showboating by that breathy, whooping, and very particular voice.
47
The pop-rock superstars attempt a concept album about virtual reality that is almost perverse in its inability or unwillingness to develop its premise beyond the most basic and obvious elements.

The UK-based pop band Bastille has soaked up their fair share of the limelight while steadily releasing one alliterated album after another, but Give Me the Future changes course, delivering a batch of manic rants processed through a ‘80s-themed filter.
'Give me The Future' é uma evolução em comparação ao álbum anterior da banda mas ainda é projeto fraquíssimo, em que mesmo tentando trazer algo mais interessante por meio de um conceito futurista, Bastille mais uma vez falha em entregar algo de grande qualidade igual aos primeiros lançamentos do grupo.
Em 'Give Me The Future', Bastille, igualmente ao que fizeram no 'Doom Days', deixa de lado o pop rock e traz algo bem mais voltado ... read more
Generic, lazy, and poorly executed.
I struggle to find much positive to say about this album. The vocal production and the vocals themselves are iffy at best, especially on tracks such as "No Bad Days" where the high pitch vocals sound horrible. The wannabe poetic lyrics are often rough around the edges and can be summed up with "technology bad". I'll end my review with some lines from the record.
