With the exception of You Stole The Sun From My Heart, I don't think it's a commercial album at all really. With hindsight, I think it's a really unlikely hit of an album. It's easily the Manics album I've seen most often in charity shops. I don't know, I kinda think it was anticipation as much as anything that got the album and first single to number one. Nobody had chance to get sick of the album before it came out, like a lot of people seem to have done with Postcards From A Young Man. I think at the time, they could've got anything to number one really. I love the album anyway, probably my third favourite. It's quite a big departure from Everything Must Go and a weird predecessor to Know Your Enemy.
