It's my favourite Manics album. I did retreat from it for a while when I was younger due to its reputation, but when I really got back into the band properly a few years ago I was almost astonished at how good it is. The realisation that I'm Not Working is an atmospheric masterpiece was probably the moment I realised how much I love the album.
I've always taken Nicky's interviews with a pinch of salt, and the "we might never make another album" quote three weeks before the next album announcement is the most absurd misdirection to date, but the fact that he's actually acknowledged Lifeblood in a positive light makes me really happy.
