Come On Die Young arrived in March 1999 with a cover referencing The Exorcist and a title lifted from a Glasgow gang slogan, which set expectations for an assault that never came. Instead Mogwai made their most restrained record: darkly elegiac, patient to the point of stubbornness, with the loud parts held back until they mean something. Twenty-seven years on it reads as the moment the band decided dynamics were a compositional tool rather than a trick. Gatefold sleeve, two LPs on grey vinyl with a download card. Street date: October 30.
