Public Image Ltd. - What The World Needs Now

Gatefold double LP

The follow-up to the critically received This is PiL

Incredibly, What The World Needs Now… is Public Image Limited’s 10th album, although it could have been so much more had they not had that 17-year gap before releasing This is PiL in 2012.

John Lydon returns with that acidic tongue of his bellowing his typically witty and relevant lyrics over some great instrumentation which sees PiL returning toward some heavier punk rock sounds but always experimenting. You can never know what Lydon or PiL are going to do next.

Widely regarded as one of the most innovative and influential bands of all time, PiL's music and vision earned them five U.K. Top 20 singles and five U.K. Top 20 albums. With a shifting line-up and unique sound, John Lydon guided the band from their debut album First Issue in 1978 through to 1992's That What Is Not. After a 17-year hiatus, Lydon reactivated PiL in 2009 by taking them back on the road worldwide.
