Album
Make 'em Laugh, Make 'em Cry, Make 'em Wait
Make 'em Laugh, Make 'em Cry, Make 'em Wait is the thirteenth studio album from Welsh rock band Stereophonics, released on 25 April 2025 through EMI. It arrived three years after Oochya! from 2022, and it extends a run of studio records that began with Word Gets Around in 1997.
The most striking thing about it is its length. At about thirty minutes, it is the shortest record the band have made, so there is little room for filler. For anyone who has followed Stereophonics from the late 1990s onwards, it makes a compact way to hear where the band stand nearly three decades into their career.
