The Cure – Songs of a Live World: Troxy London MMXXIV
Songs of a Lost World is the band’s first album in 16 years, and their first number one album in the UK since 1992’s Wish. On the day of release, The Cure performed the album in full at London’s Troxy venue, and it’s this live performance which makes up Songs of a Live World.
Manic Street Preachers – Critical Thinking
The Manic Street Preachers return with their most urgent album in years. This is a record of opposites colliding – of dialectics trying to find a path of resolution. While the music has an effervescence and an elegiac uplift, most of the words deal with the cold analysis of the self, the exception being the three lyrics by James (Dean Bradfield) which look for and hopefully find answers in people, their memories, language and beliefs.
