Album Notes & Community Reviews

The British ensemble's major-label effort merges complex, multi-guitar interplay with Gerard Langley's idiosyncratic, spoken-word poetic delivery. Expanding their jangle-pop foundation with robust, rhythmic rock instrumentation, the critically acclaimed album became their most commercially successful release.
