The Script’s gift for writing songs rich with heady emotions and ever bigger melodies has enamored fans worldwide, leading to hits such as “Hall of Fame,” “The Man Who Can’t Be Moved,” and “Breakeven.” Now, their 8th studio album sees Danny O’Donoghue reunited with songwriting partners Andrew Frampton and Steve Kipner, hit-machine songwriters with whom he and Mark Sheehan wrote a brace of The Script’s best-known songs. Lead track “Man in the Arena” is a rousing anthem complete with stirring martial drumbeats that draws on their experiences and global success over the last two decades. As their passionate, dedicated fanbase know all too well, The Script also have that crucial thing: real, emotional, soul-deep connection. This is the animating, uniting idea at the heart of The User’s Guide to Being Human, what matters above all else in music, in life, in The Script. Because after all, “tell me what the hell we're doing if we're not human beings being human.”
