Where this album fits

Career context
Released in January 1993, 'Revelation' was Ultravox's first album since their reunion in 1992, which included original members Midge Ure and Warren Cann. This marked a return to the music scene after a lengthy hiatus following their commercial peak in the early '80s with albums like 'Lament.' The album sought to re-establish their presence in a rapidly evolving musical landscape dominated by grunge and alternative rock.
