Background
The single "Comeback Kid" was originally released for the FIFA 17 soundtrack, though it was leaked online to YouTube six days before the North American release of the game. The leak was promptly taken down.[4]
Packaging
The album's cover, designed by Aitor Throup, consists of a monochrome photograph of the band's longtime roadie Rick Graham's naked bust with digitally animated tears emanating from his eyes. A white background surrounds the photograph with the band's name above it and the album's title in quotation marks below with the year in parenthesis after the title. Throup worked in collaboration with photographer Neil Bedford and visual designer Daft Apeth to create the artwork. "I really wanted to challenge how I previously approached art direction, through the deconstruction of the graphic design tools and their known formulas – which I have used in previous works with Kasabian", Throup told It's Nice That. "I'm really embracing the basics of default composition, whilst creating my own default design process through doing so. I even wanted to embrace and explore the beauty of default fonts."[5]
Release
The album was originally scheduled to be released on 28 April 2017 but was pushed back a week to 5 May 2017.[6][better source needed] It is also the band's first album to be released on a single 12" vinyl LP rather than 2x10" LPs.[7]

Despite the generally positive reviews, some reviewers were less favourable. Clash magazine gave the album a score of 4/10, describing it as "A mixed return that ultimately feels like a failure."[13]
The Quietus, meanwhile, gave a negative review, noting: "Say what you like about Kasabian but never have they been this pedestrian, predictable, and so utterly, utterly bland."[14]
