Brilliant, stylised as Brill!ant is the eleventh studio album by the British synthpop band Ultravox, released on 25 May 2012 by Chrysalis Records. It is the group's first studio album in 18 years, and the first in 28 years from the "classic" Ultravox line-up of Midge Ure, Billy Currie, Warren Cann and Chris Cross (the last being 1984's Lament). The title track of the album was released as its lead single, and premiered on 17 April 2012 on BBC Radio 2.[10]

Brilliant debuted at number twenty-one on the UK Albums Chart, selling 6,100 copies in its first week,[11] but received mixed reviews from critics.
