Album Notes & Community Reviews
Following the critical success of their debut, the Manchester quintet expanded their scope with sweeping, highly orchestrated art-rock arrangements. The title explicitly references the band's decision to record the Glastonbury Festival crowd singing along, later incorporating the massive choir into the track 'Grace Under Pressure'.
