We don't know how much is planned and how much is random, but opening an album with the lines "It's time to wake up, it's time to change" is a clear signal of awareness. The Futureheads felt the need for a change of direction after their first two albums and implemented this need with a muscular enhancement of melodies, and especially the guitar riffs, more prominent than in the past. The broken rhythms and three-part vocal harmonies remain, but here they flaunt the confidence of those who aren't afraid of getting hurt if they fall. After all, the guys grew up on bread and punk. And tracks like "Think Tonight" and the title track represent something more than an attempt at emulation. Unlike bands that tend to soften album after album, they hold firm.
Tracklist:
The Beginning Of The Twist
Walking Backwards
Think Tonight
Radio Heart
This Is Not The World
Sale Of The Century
Hard To Bear
Work Is Never Done
Broke Up The Time
Everything's Changing Today
Sleet
See What You Want
A strength: powerful riffs, gritty vocals, punk sound, all blended with fun lyrics
A weakness: the fact that there are no "alternative" songs or any that conflict with the usual structure of the Futureheads' songs certainly limits the band's potential
Regards.

01 The Beginning of the Twist (03:36)
It's time to wake up
It's time to change
Let's get it started
I feel like there's so much to rearrange
Come on, I need your help with this
Why don't we get it started with a kiss?
If memory serves
Then why am I still waiting for it to return?
My head feels like it's just about to slip
This morning is just a blur
Today lingers on like a bad year
I can feel it
I conceal it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist
I can feel it
I conceal it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist
I can feel it
I conceal it...
Beginning of the twist
I can feel it
I conceal it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist
We get along well
We talk a lot
I made some promises, I guess that I totally forgot
Forgive me, my mind has been elsewhere
Feels like somebody's thrown it down the stairs
It's not good enough
(I've heard these same excuses before)
I thought you knew enough about it
But you still want more
Today I don't feel so ill
If only I could find the time, I want to kill
I can feel it
I conceal it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist
I can feel it
I conceal it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist
I can feel it
I conceal it...
Beginning of the twist
I can feel it
I conceal it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist
I can feel it
I can feel it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist
I can feel it
I can feel it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist
I can feel it
I can feel it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist
I can feel it
I can feel it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist
I can feel it
I conceal it...
Beginning of the twist
I can feel it
I conceal it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist
I can feel it
I conceal it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist
I can feel it
I conceal it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist
