The fourth full-length studio album by legendary British Hard Rock band.
This album belongs on the list "Top 100 Albums With the Most Ugly Covers", but let that not put you off: this one is almost as good as "Mr. Universe" and "Glory Road".
The title is taken from Alvin Toffler's book "Future Shock". There are a handful of classics, mixed with some mediocre fillers - but a Hard Rock fan should have this album, even if it was just for the 3 minutes of "The Ballad of the Lucitania Express", which is The Perfect Heavy Fast Rock song. This song steams like the overheated locomotive that it is about, is not a second too long and has everything perfectly in place. The real engine is John McCoy's bass, clearly audible under the brief guitar solo, pumping 8th notes at over 200 BPM. This band can inject you with pure adrenaline and crack you up at the same time!
On its release, the album reached number 2 in the UK chart; that remain the band's highest placing album.
In 2005, "Future Shock" was ranked number 467 in the German Rock Hard Magazine's book of "The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time".
