Some music is forever tinged with sadness: , released just three days after the death of its singer Otis Redding; Nirvana’s album, a signpost that no one could read until it was too late., announced before the shocking death of the band’s singer David Longdon in November last year and released after. Under such circumstances it’s tempting to pull on the surgical gloves and examine the album in forensic detail, searching for prescience that almost certainly isn’t there. Indeed, those looking for some sort of foreshadowing will run up against a problem almost immediately: is an album that bursts with life.
