But also, the thing that fascinates me is what kind of work they'd have come up with had they carried on down that road.

PS: love GlassSnot tho...
Cost me a bit in p&p, but the Japanese version of Lifeblood is still one of my favourite Manics purchases. The Soulmates and Antarctic as the extra album tracks and a collection of b-sides from around that era with a few live tracks. When you think Forever Delayed, There by the Grace of God and Door to the River were also around that time, then it was a good 'era' for the band, even though it didn't result in one of their strongest albums (in my opinion of course!).
