Following the departure of lead singer Tim Booth in 2001, the band became inactive, but reunited in January 2007 and have gone on to produce a further seven albums.

[49] The high moments are "safer and its lows more thoughtful and safe." [49] Though, this "doesn't mean it's not rather good. Cos it is." [49] Andrew Paine of NME considered it the "best James record in a long while and there are some near-inspirational moments." [20] It was a "smartly dressed record" that could make the band "feel at least slightly relevant again. Ultimately, though, there's a more brutal solution to that problem." [20] In a review for The Guardian, Caroline Sullivan wrote that the band "continue their run of mini-symphonies by and for men who don't cringe at terms such as 'birthing partner'." [47] A planned compilation of material from the band's Factory and Sire years was announced in 2001, but the album, Strange Dancing, was never released. The first two James albums, Stutter and Strip-mine, were re-pressed in June 2007, but without any additional rarities.James's first new album in six years, La Petite Mort, was released on 2 June 2014 [22] along with a promo single "Moving On".
