Public Image Ltd - What The World Needs Now

Back in print – from 2015. What The World Needs Now is a terrific record; more confident, arrogant, surprising, consistent and artistic than 2012’s rather fine This Is PiL (which hewed just a little too closely to evoking the group’s past), the new album validates the idea that PiL are a vital and evolving art rock band with an identity entirely separate from both the Sex Pistols and the more “commercial” ’83-’92 ideations of PiL.
