Album Notes & Community Reviews

Attempting to reverse declining commercial fortunes, the Scottish rockers drastically altered their signature sound on their fifth album. 'No Place Like Home' abandons their iconic bagpipe-emulating guitars in favor of polished, conventional pop-rock and rootsy folk instrumentation, ultimately serving as their final major-label release.
