Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking a return to a cohesive, guitar-based sound, 'Juju' is a landmark post-punk album defined by the inventive and atmospheric playing of guitarist John McGeoch. The record is built on a foundation of dark, narrative-driven themes, intricate percussion from Budgie, and the commanding, newly melodic vocals of Siouxsie Sioux. Its fusion of a foreboding art-rock aesthetic with the pop sensibilities of singles like 'Spellbound' cemented its status as one of the era's most influential British albums.
