Album Notes & Community Reviews

The British rock band's breakthrough sophomore album masterfully blends grit-heavy garage rock with vintage soul and hip-hop production techniques. Kelvin Swaby's commanding, raspy vocals drive heavily syncopated, horn-drenched tracks like the massive crossover hit 'How You Like Me Now?'. The record's infectious, retro-futurist swagger secured its widespread use in film, television, and advertising.
