It might be their fifth album, but Stereophonics view Language. Sex. Violence. Other? with the same excitement as a debut record. It's a little under two years since You Gotta Go There to Come Back Stereophonics' third consecutive Number One album and the band have been busy touring America, supporting David Bowie and writing and recording. There's a new member Javier Weyler, who replaces Stuart Cable on drums and, a new, super-affirmative attitude. 'This band is so positive right now,' says Kelly. 'We've made the most exciting record we possibly could.' Indeed they have. Language. Sex. Violence. Other? is a magnificent album. Eleven tracks. All killer, no filler. The band agreed they wanted to make something that was very different from their last album. Something that captured the listener straight away, but something that also had a lot of depth. The song titles would all be one word. It would have the energy of their first album, 1997's Word Gets Around, but it would use production tricks Stereophonics had learned along their way to becoming one of Britain's most successful rock bands. It would be a very modern record.
