Primal Scream Releases Come Ahead Album

Primal Scream returns with their first album in eight years, 'Come Ahead', which showcases a mix of styles but struggles with inconsistency. Frontman Bobby Gillespie expresses uncertainty about the album's necessity, yet it features standout tracks like 'Love Insurrection' and 'Ready To Go Home', produced by David Holmes. Critics note Gillespie's vocals often detract from the music's potential, with some songs, like 'Settler’s Blues', being less well-received. Despite mixed reviews, some argue this album marks a resurgence in their songwriting prowess, reminiscent of their past successes. Themes of reflection and social commentary permeate the album, as Gillespie grapples with contemporary issues. Overall, 'Come Ahead' has moments of brilliance but is uneven in execution, leaving listeners divided on its impact.
