Primal Scream, the Scottish rock band known for their genre-blending sound, have returned with their first album in eight years, Come Ahead. This release marks a significant moment for the band, as it was crafted during a period when frontman Bobby Gillespie was uncertain about the band’s future.

Produced by David Holmes, Come Ahead features 11 tracks that delve into themes of conflict and compassion. But is it worth your time? Let’s dig into what the critics think.
