It's simply an epic Manics song.

Liverpool Revisited, again, on repeat as soon as it dropped, still love it. As for the others, on first listen, the chorus of Vivian is PAINFULLY bad. Not even cheesy in a "cute" way, just bad, bad, bad.

So far, out of the ones I hadn't heard before today, Broken Algorithms is winning for me. They couldn't have come up with something more appropriate and perfect for a Guns N' Roses support slot if they tried!

I've already taken Vivian off my tracklisting, I like the verses but just can't listen to that chorus.
