Album (also known as Compact Disc or Cassette depending on the format) is the fifth album by the English rock band Public Image Ltd, released on 27 January 1986. A departure from their previous releases, John Lydon was advised by trusted music producer Bill Laswell to take on an all-star cast of session and trusted musicians, including Steve Vai, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Tony Williams and Ginger Baker. The resulting album gave PiL one of its highest charting songs, "Rise".

Metal Box might just be the most unwieldy album of all time, 3 records, one embossed 16mm film canister. Packaging an album, or vinyl, at least, in metal certainly wasn’t any sort of music industry standard, (though it would happen again with Big Black’s Bulldozer EP, packaged in sheet metal as an homage to PiL) but perhaps that was appropriate seeing as what came inside was almost radical as the packaging. But even with Wobble’s distinct bass melodies and Levene’s signature guitar sound, Public Image Limited would not be Public Image Limited without John Lydon’s mercilessly sardonic vocals. Throughout the opening number, and for over a minute into the second, we hear them, but gone is the sinister sneer many had fallen in love with.
