That What Is Not is the eighth studio album by Public Image Ltd, released in 1992. It was the band's final album before a 20-year hiatus, and the final recordings with longtime members Allan Dias (bass) and John McGeoch (lead guitar).

Critical reception

The Los Angeles Times wrote that Lydon "has been able to stay somewhat current by rocking persuasively and directing his still considerable bile toward such germane targets as censors and militarists." Entertainment Weekly wrote that the album "showcases PIL’s brutal version of modern dance rock, an angry sound that pummels rather than lulls." Trouser Press wrote that the songs "display either a loss of conviction, an absence of inspiration or a grave lack of effort."
