3	''Screamadelica'' is the third album released by Scottish AlternativeRock band Music/PrimalScream. Compared to their first two albums, which the band now sees as an OldShame, it proved to be the NewSoundAlbum that won both the critics and the public over. It scored hits such as "Loaded", "Higher Than the Sun", and "Movin' On Up", and was also subject of an episode of the TV documentary series ''Series/ClassicAlbums''.
