Chronicling the rise and fall of a year-long fling, the influential UK indie rockers’ seventh album feels like a scattered afterthought more than an important part of the band’s journey.

The soulful rock trio sound like no time has passed at all after a decade-long break between studio records as they reignite their chemistry as a blockbuster unit.
Beyoncé, B’Day [20th Anniversary Edition]
Along with remastering its original mix to bring out the disc’s vibrantly wild percussion, there’s a warmth to this celebratory touch-up of the pop star’s second solo LP that was forever missing.
