Album Notes & Community Reviews

The foundational Britpop band returned from an 11-year hiatus with a sharp, revitalized focus on romantic melodrama and soaring guitar hooks. Reuniting with producer Ed Buller, the record successfully recaptures the nocturnal, darkly glamorous energy of their mid-90s commercial peak.
