Future Crayon is a welcome reminder of how consistently interesting the band's output is. While the decision to put most of the more accessible tracks on the first half of the disc is understandable, it doesn't always make for the easiest listening -- sometimes, it feels easy to get lost in the more abstract moments later on in the collection. Nevertheless, Future Crayon is a must for Broadcast obsessives and a good way for casual fans to explore some of the rougher edges of their music.

"Some bands get by mostly on style (not songs), and some bands get by mostly on songs (not style). Broadcast are the sort of particularly good band that usually manages to offer both. That's not just to say that their sound is inventive, or their production alluring, or any of that other brainy stuff, true as it may be. It's to say that they sound flat-out convincingly cool, something that's more important that most rock folks like to admit." - Pitchfork
