Released in 2007 as the follow-up from their hugely successful debut Silent Alarm, it was produced by Jacknife Lee and saw the band develop their sound with choirs and samples joining their frantic guitars and fast-paced drums. The record aimed to capture inner-city life with all its joy and sadness. Frontman Kele Okereke's lyrics touch on the loneliness of living in a big city, the feeling of fear present in the wake of 2005's July 7th London bombings as well as his experience as a second generation immigrant feeling unwelcome in his hometown - themes which still resonate almost two decades later.
