Nicky says it's broad, epic, Tolerate-like.
So it's going to end up as KYE II.

"I love playing live but if we ever play live again it will be the most unsubtle concert we’ve ever played. The first five songs will be the biggest songs we’ve got."
So like 90% of their gigs from the last 25 years

I had been thinking that right now we need a new manics track to make an appearance or maybe after this horrific year is over, something like international blue which shows up, you hear that very first play and you think - 'You know, things may turn out alright afterall'.

Inner eye opening to the stepped scarlet pyramid of the Eastern Seaboard Fission Authority burning beyond the green cubes of Mitsubishi Bank of America, and high and very far away he saw the spiral arms of military systems, forever beyond his reach. And somewhere he was laughing, in a white-painted loft, distant fingers caressing the deck, tears of release streaking his face.

He's just been on Virgin radio and said he's off to the studio today to do some more demoing. Album possibly summer next year and he's been working on a song that's like 'Dark ABBA'

I'm afraid to say that I think the next one will be an 'earner' in the vain of SATT. Although I fear that every time...
Or was RiF an improved SATT with better singles?

Manics albums tend react to each other, commercial albums tend to follow more artistic endeavors and vice versa:
Lifeblood>SATT>JPFL>PFAYM>RTF+F>RiF Not sure the two solo albums will throw it out of whack.

For me, SATT was "What do the Manics sound like?" as opposed to "what could the Manics sound like?" Lifeblood, Truth etc.
I am putting off predictions and looking for patterns. It's done when it's done. They've probably demoed an amazing track that ends up as a Japanese extra track, because it didn't fit with the song they've written that shows what direction the album should go in. That's going on previous interviews about their process for making albums. I still think RIF is nowhere near as disposable and slight as many have posted. Just think, around Christmas, even after Christmas, we'll know more and more about album 14.
