Musically, the band’s exploration of their past has less of the melancholy yearning of Staples’s lyrics. This LP’s strength is as a document of change rather than a retrospective. Upon reaching the gorgeous closing track, ‘What Are You Fighting For?’, even Staples is starting to sound optimistic. “There’s a future coming up behind”, he sings, and it looks like a more promising one for a band whose recent history has been relatively precarious.
