Future Islands On The Water Full Album
I was able to meet all of the band members, which created a more concrete bond between me and their music. They were already my favorite band of all time by then, of course, but this album further solidified my opinion. Amidst rumors that 'On the Water' was going to be a slower-paced version of 'In Evening Air,' I was a bit hesitant that I'd like it as much. Fortunately, it was more finely tuned, personal and optimistic than I anticipated. It's hard to pick a favorite song, but mine are probably 'Balance,' 'Before the Bridge' and 'Give Us the Wind' (though 'Where I Found You' is equally as impressive and heart-crushing). I often go back and listen to some of the earlier Future Islands and Art Lord records, but when I listen to one of the songs from this album again, it reminds me how finely tuned their music is now. I can't wait for the next one.
Really enjoyable album, it may have staled a bit on the 6th, 7th listen, but I enjoy more than 'In Evening Air.' The songs are more developed, Really enjoyable album, it may have staled a bit on the 6th, 7th listen, but I enjoy more than 'In Evening Air.'

The songs are more developed, and there's more variety here than it's predecessor. It seems like the vocals are not as strong as In Evening Air, but the music definitely compensates. I'ts more subdued, but more powerful IMO. Set.a.light 3d studio crack. Right now, in my top 5 albums of the year.
I am not particularly 80's nostalgic, but the band feels a bit like New Order with a much better singer. Can't wait to see them live!

Future Islands On The Water Review
The thing that struck me about this band is the amazing cover, for what happens to be their fourth album - 'Singles'. Sadly, it stayed at just that. Up until 'Singles' I didn´t know much about the group - considering the sudden mass-hysteria at the time of the release of 'Singles', I dare believe many didn´t either. Regarding their music and performance, Future Islands do possess the charm, and hordes of their fans can´t be wrong at that - however, it is the hype of the 'next best thing' that continues to eat them alive. Adding to it Samuel T. Herring´s (definitely unique, but just as unbearable) over-the-top-larger-than-life-hyper-emotional growl and stage antics, the end result is this utterly exaggerated leviathan exhausting plankton in today´s endless sea of overrated indie.
