Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Scottish rock trio issued this sprawling, ambitious double album following widespread mainstream success in the UK. Splitting the tracklist conceptually between themes of despair and optimism, it pairs incredibly massive, stadium-ready hooks with their historically angular, post-hardcore eccentricities.
