About this album

Public Image Limited’s Album sharpened John Lydon’s post-punk assault into a leaner, more accessible hybrid of rock, new wave and alternative bite. Released in 1986, it found the band moving beyond their earliest experiments without losing the restless edge that made them so influential. The record features guitarist Steve Vai, whose flashier approach adds fresh tension to Lydon’s confrontational vocals and the band’s propulsive rhythms. Rising from the mid-1980s alternative scene, Album kept PiL’s reputation for reinvention intact, with ‘Rise’ becoming one of the group’s best-known songs and a sharp example of their ability to turn abrasion into something oddly catchy and enduring.

Genre: Punk & Alternative
