Future Shock is the fourth studio album by the British hard rock band Gillan. Released by Virgin in 1981, it reached number 2 in the UK album chart; this would remain the band's highest placing. The title is taken from Alvin Toffler's book Future Shock.
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 production is on the poor side, but the energy of the musicians makes up for that. There are a handful of classics on Future Shock, 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 McCoys 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.
