Anyway, on a more serious note a couple of the titles are a bit vague. Summat with a title like The Left Behind could be another 30 Year War or it could be some introspective nostalgia.. Since the last album there's been some massive stuff you might expect em to write about or at least nod towards - Brexit*, Trump, Grenfell being the main ones off the top of me head and they give you.a fuck load of asides too. There's not much in that tracklisting to immediately suggest they are addressing the big issues... Maybe People Give In is about people believing Farage, Gove and Johnson represent their best interests, maybe the victims of Grenfell are The Left Behind. Maybe I'm just plucking at straws. 15 years ago, you'd expect them to cover this shit.

*bet Wire voted Leave.
