Trevor Horn took on production duties for this project, crafting a lush, grander feel compared to earlier efforts. This change marked a departure from the group's punchy pop past, embracing more complex arrangements.
Recorded during a period of transition, the record utilizes folk-inflected rock and moody compositions. It stands as a demonstration of a mainstream act attempting to produce a serious and grounded musical statement.
