Have you listened to Kneecap's new album?

Fenian came out last Friday and is on track to top the UK album charts.

FENIAN, THE SECOND studio album from Belfast rap trio Kneecap, was released last Friday.

The follow-up to the group’s debut, Fine Art, has so far been met with positive reviews from fans and critics alike. NME described the album as “solid” and “progressive”, while The Guardian called it “triumphant, yet tortured”.

In terms of chart performance, the group were leading the midweek UK album charts – ahead of Mel C and Michael Jackson.

If this is still the case when the end-of-week sales are finalised, Fenian will become the first Irish-language album to top the UK charts.

So, a week on from its release, we’re asking: have you listened to Kneecap’s second album?
