Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced by John McLaughlin, the veteran post-punk group's eleventh studio album leans heavily into shimmering, radio-friendly pop-rock arrangements. Ian McCulloch's signature croon remains the focal point, backed by sweeping orchestrations and Will Sergeant's restrained guitar work. The record eschews their darker, psychedelic past in favor of bright, anthemic accessibility.
