The User's Guide to Being Human LP

Danny O'Donoghue says The User's Guide to Being Human sums up the album, a title that promises instructions the Script's music has never really needed, since the Irish band has run the same anthemic arena-pop playbook for two decades. Opener Man in the Arena keeps that formula going. It's the eighth studio album, following 2022's Satellites, recorded in Topanga Canyon with Andrew Frampton, Steve Kipner and Jimbo Barry, pressed on clear vinyl.
