The conversation comprised a vigorous and inspired debate with each panellist agreeing on how privileged we were to be having it in the first place.

The only omission is a lack of references to the US invasion of Afghanistan in 2001. Still, it offers a very different, and infinitely richer, picture of the region than what you will find in the news.

Fortunately, there’s more than enough heart and humour on display to overlook such shortcomings.

While it’s hard to imagine such abysmally tacky cover art becoming the icon of a classic, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs provide many engaging listening experiences on album number four.
