Welcome to the Neighbourhood (Boston Manor album)

Welcome to the Neighbourhood is the second studio album by British rock band Boston Manor. It was released on September 7, 2018, through Pure Noise Records.

The album represents a stylistic departure from Boston Manor's earlier, more straightforward pop-punk sound, incorporating elements of hip-hop, electronic music, and industrial rock. Lyrically, Welcome to the Neighbourhood explores themes of social decay, economic hardship, and disillusionment, particularly focusing on the grim realities of working-class life in the band's hometown of Blackpool, England.

The album features a darker and more atmospheric sound than their previous work, Be Nothing. (2016), and includes singles such as "Halo," " ইংল্যান্ড," and "Funeral Party." It received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its ambition, sonic experimentation, and topical subject matter. Some criticism was directed at the album's occasional lack of focus.

The album charted in the United Kingdom, peaking at number 92 on the UK Albums Chart. Welcome to the Neighbourhood is considered a key release in Boston Manor's discography, marking a significant shift in their sound and solidifying their reputation as a band willing to take risks and explore complex themes.
