Future Hearts

The band entered the studio on September 26, 2014, with producer John Feldmann. All Time Low recruited Mark Hoppus and Joel Madden as guest artists. "It feels like a definite progression. I wouldn’t say it’s an insane departure or anything like that. We haven’t gone completely the other way and tried all kinds of new things. We’ve certainly tried some new things, but I don’t think it’s necessarily going to alienate anyone or push people away that loved the last record. There’s a lot of stuff that’s in line with Don’t Panic, but there’s a lot of stuff that’s a logical next step from it, too."—vocalist/guitarist Alex Gaskarth. Maria Sherman of Fuse positively compared "Something's Gotta Give" to Yellowcard, stating it recalled that group's "cinematic songwriting, bridges with gang vocals, technical guitar breakdowns—huge rock and roll stuff!", and acknowledged the "classic All Time Low self-deprecating lyricism". ==Release==

Critical response The album holds a Metacritic score of 74, based on seven reviews, which indicates "generally favorable reviews". On a highly positive analysis, Thomas Nassiff of Absolutepunk.net stated that "All Time Low has accomplished something more rare than a No. 1 single or a platinum album with Future Hearts -- they've reached one of the most unreachable points for a band from their corner of the world, a point of true lasting value." The album was ranked at number 3 in Alternative Presss "10 Essential Records of 2015" list. Mackenzie Hall of Alternative Press wrote the band "spoke of wanting to return to their roots and they certainly delivered on this catchy-as-hell-pop-punk masterpiece." "Something's Gotta Give" was nominated for Best Music Video and Future Hearts was nominated for Album Of The Year at the 2016 Alternative Press Music Awards. "Missing You" was nominated for Best Track at the 2016 Kerrang! Awards. Commercial performance Future Hearts debuted at number 2 on the Billboard 200, selling 80,000 total copies in its first week, becoming the band's highest charting and biggest selling week so far. However, with 75,000 traditional album sales, it was the top selling "pure" album that week. Despite the number 1 Billboard 200 album—Furious 7: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack—only selling 58,000 traditional album that week, the 464,000 sales of its single "See You Again" counted towards its 111,000 album consumption units for the chart's revamped metrics. The album also debuted at number 4 on the Australian Albums Chart and number 7 on the New Zealand Albums Chart. "Something's Gotta Give" debuted at No. 84 on the UK Singles Chart and at No. 2 on the UK Rock Chart. It also debuted at No. 14 on US Hot Rock Songs and No. 21 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart. ==Track listing==
