    One more great album from PiL, and awesome follow up to 2012s album This is PiL.

    The moments when the music matches the intensity of Lydon’s singing are exhilarating.... Other mid-tempo tunes on What the World Needs Now don’t fare as well.

    It’s noticeably similar to 2012’s This Is PiL--and for a truly engaged evisceration of the establishment, you’d currently do better with Sleaford Mods.

    With relative ease, What The World Needs Now... can be placed aside the likes of the 80s influenced 2012 release This Is PiL. The second half of the album is the most interesting musically; it displays a set of songs built around cluttered instruments, rhythms and animalistic noises, but cluttered only to the conditioned ears of the modern listener.
