What better way for The Stranglers to commemorate the sweet sixteenth of their 2006 return to form, Suite XVI, than with an anniversary edition. Following the departure of vocalist, Paul Roberts, the duties were split between guitarist Baz Warne and bassist Jean-Jacques Burnel, with the band continuing the journey back towards their post-punk heyday, all whilst maintaining the more expansive sonics garnered throughout their progression. Building on the melodious tendencies of its 2004 predecessor, Norfolk Coast, but with a measured focus to return to the energy of the early years, the effort has only aged gracefully over time, standing as a vital contribution to their latter day catalogue.
