A really important album for me - the first Manics album to arrive after I became a Manics fan, the first I bought on the day of release, the soundtrack to my second year of sixth-form college. Running down to Woolworths at 9am to buy 'Tolerate', skipping Psychology so I could pick up the album on the way home rather than have to wait until the day after it came out. Great singles, beautiful album tracks. Lovely stuff.

It was the same for me! I remember getting it home and listening to it with a friend just staring at the CD player and absorbing it all before dashing to our guitars to work out the songs.
