For Long Tomorrow is the second studio album by Japanese math rock band toe, released on December 9, 2009. It saw the band introduce new elements in their music, including the use of a Rhodes piano, acoustic guitars, and minor vocals.
Shawn Despres from Japan Times writes in a review for the album "[w]ell worth the wait, For Long Tomorrow is a compelling listen that retains the phenomenally played, complex arrangements of its predecessor, but sees Toe expanding their sound to incorporate a much stronger postrock feel."[1]
In an interview with Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Cadence Wu of Blogcritics says that although the album sounds similar to their debut, it "shows that they've matured musically" with the introduction of new elements like a Rhodes piano, acoustic guitars, and minor vocals, and a generally more experimental approach in their sound. Wu concludes saying "Toe's second album may sound at times like an extension of their debut, but the level of experimentation in For Long Tomorrow provides the light, upbeat sound the band was looking for".[2]
