I just gave it a quick listen yesterday, so I might change my mind. But I wouldn't call it terrible, just... underwhelming. I mean, I love the guy and his voice and I'm always glad when he comes back but... it all feels too unnecessary. Baz might be right about his white old rock males rant, although I'm pretty sure I still enjoy more the 7th track of the 5th Richard Ashcroft record than the new Skepta's single.

You're so edgy these days, Baz. i just wanna hear music with guitars that i like, Rod. That's the music I grew up with and avoided girls to. I just struggle with the the idea that something that will unseat the soul will come from contented, well-fed 45 year olds who have shown no artistic progression since their heydays. Actually, talking about guitar music, that new Car Seat Headrest record is pretty fucking good.

everyone on here gives Noel such a hard time for being middle aged dad rock but Ashcroft has lost the plot so much more severely! these last couple of tunes are just rubbish!

Jesus, I saw this thread and thought "maybe his new album leaked!" And then it took me going through the whole thread to remember it came out months ago and I'd already listened to it twice. It's just that memorable.

He's got a proper frightening face but good to see the barnet back.
