THE SCRIPT'S BRAND NEW ALBUM DEBUTS AT NO.2 IN THE US

Trump in the White House, Britain heading out of the EU. Who will help us to make sense of our divided world?

The Script, of course! On album number five the Irish trio best known for sounding like a worse version of The Police, have taken a turn for the political.

“Divided states of America, divided states of the world/If we don’t all stand together, we will fall,” croons Danny O’Donoghue on the platitudinal poprock of Divided States.

Freedom Child is an advert that will top the charts… but what is worse is the machinery that will bring it there. The songs will be played because they’re sonic wallpaper, the press will be good because the interviews/exclusive photo shoots are desired. The issues mentioned above will be glossed over, maybe even lauded. All of which results in the gap between mainstream and underground perspectives growing even further. As I said at the start, this is an interesting album but not in the way the Script intended it to be.
