Best known in the U.S. for their 1993 alt-rock hit "Laid", James return after a six-year layoff with their 10th album.
Seven years is not an extraordinarily long time between albums for bands in the new millennium (some bands take considerably longer), so only those who pay attention closely might realize that James split and reunited in the seven years separating 2001's Pleased to Meet You and 2008's Hey Ma.

Ever since James made a big splash with 1993's excellent, Brian Eno-produced Laid, their next great album has always remained just out of reach.
