Driven by atmospheric orchestration, surging anthems and Will Sergeant's shimmering guitar solos, it saw the Scouse quartet reach new depths of feeling and resonance. Their sonic brilliance and soaring ambition should have taken them to Eighties stadium status alongside U2 and Simple Minds but fittingly McCulloch always maintained that they were too cool for that. Nevertheless their influence reverberates in the consciousness of a long line of post-punk greats, from the Stone Roses to the Manics and Radiohead.
