Sense reveals the revamped Future of the Left are just as committed to smart, angry, heavy rock as they always were. However, unlike the explosive ferocity of their previous album, Travels with Myself and Another, this time the group's attack is more of an enduring grind, with an almost mechanical precision on Failed Olympic Bid and a grim inevitability in A Guide to Men's lumbering rhythm and claustrophobic synths. It can make Future of the Left seem damn near necessary at times. After all, humor is often seen as coming from a less authentic place than anger, heartbreak, or joy, and most bands who try to be funny often make it a point to counterbalance it with an equal and oppositely sensitive show of humanity. Not these guys an emotionally complex song on The Plot Against Common Sense happens to be both cynical and sarcastic. When it works, it opens up an almost unlimited world of songwriting possibilities. It's a shame that Falkous is playing to the cheap seats on The Plot Against Common Sense, since, to paraphrase one of their best songs, we need Falkous more than he needs us. This album is their most ambitious and accessible to date, and easily one of the best albums of 2012. There are few lyricists better thanThis album is their most ambitious and accessible to date, and easily one of the best albums of 2012. There are few lyricists better than Falkous in music right now regardless of genre, and the new lineup is, quite simply, a revelation. Highly recommended. Future Of The Left on the release posted extremely exuberant fifteen songs that were arranged in such a manner that the average - not too familiar with the hardcore listener could also find something for himself. And will for sure. Andrew Falkous and his bandmates in both Future Of The Left FotL and his former group Mclusky have. Andrew Falkous and his bandmates in both Future Of The Left FotL and his former group Mclusky have utilised abstract thought, words and instrumentation in an attempt to understand and convey their personal thoughts and the wider world around them. In other words, theyre clever people. but with a record called The Plot Against Common Sense, surely its asking to be analysed with an academic fervour With tracks named Sheena Is A T-Shirt Salesman , Failed Olympic Bid and Sorry Dad, I Was Late For The Riots youre putting your neck on the line and trying to pin down the counter culture zeitgeist, wrapping up a nations collective image and perceptions at that point in time.

Since 2009 album-of-the-year contender Travels With Myself And Another there have been some change in the ranks, kamikaze bassist Kelson Mathias moving on to Truckers Of Husk to be replaced by Julia Ruzicka formerly of Million Dead. At the same time extra thrust has been added by the addition on second guitar, counter-vocals and loon tendencies of Jimmy Watkins, frontman of Strange News From Another Star. This writer saw SNFAS chaotic set at Swn last October and just before the end Falco passed by with a look that suggested hed seen far too much. Future of the Left frontman Andy Falkous doesnt sing instead, he shouts and narrates. Boon before him, Falkous satirizes in front of a battery of drums and guitar abrasion. Hes been doing it since his days with mclusky and continues doing it on The Plot Against Common Sense, Future of the Lefts third full-length. Forget listening to The Plot Against Common Sense while multitasking Falkous requires your brain as well as your ears, and he doesnt wait up for you. The Plot Against Common Sense reinforces Falkous personality instead of showing another side of it
