This Is the Modern World is the second studio album by British band The Jam, released in November 1977. The album was released less than seven months after their debut album, In the City,[7] and reached No. 22 in the UK Albums Chart.

Although generally met with negative reviews by music critics upon release, This Is the Modern World has been described as being an album "with far more light and shade" than the band's debut album.[8]

The photography for this album was taken by Gered Mankowitz and David Redfearns. The front cover depicts the band standing beneath London's Westway.

Original US release

  1. "The Modern World"
  2. "All Around the World"
  3. "I Need You (For Someone)"
  4. "London Traffic" (Bruce Foxton)
  5. "Standards"
  6. "Life from a Window"

The US release had a different track order, included the "censored" single version of "The Modern World", and added the single "All Around the World" which was released in the UK between their first two albums. "All Around the World" had been their biggest UK hit to date, peaking at No. 13, a placement they would not match until 1979 when "The Eton Rifles" peaked at No. 3.[9] Thereafter, no domestically released single by The Jam would ever reach a peak position lower than No. 4.[9]

The only single from the album was the censored version of "The Modern World", peaking at No. 36 in the UK Singles Chart.[9]
