The Nicky led tracks have been amongst my favourite of the last 2 records (The Left Behind & My Drowning World). An 80’s influenced album sounds right up my alley.
Crucially James mentions “the next record” so my fear of imminent endings were thankfully unfounded.

Oh, so it's like their entire discography, but in condensed form! How meta!

I also quite like the manic-Nicky tracks mostly. The Left Behind is quite good even if it is just Nicky stealing Jarvis Cocker's solo schit for a bit. But three tracks does seem like a sign that James has finally got to to the end of his rolodex of singers he can pawn off half his vocal duties to.

Sounds to me like RiF Part 2.

All these months and they still haven't got a title for it!
But yes, sounds like the sort of thing I can get behind. And the clocks spin on until it's release. Very heartened to hear they are planning another album. Or it could be a double bluff? Thanks for the update! |

I thought the same too. Especially as, with that album as well, the band mentioned it didn’t have a cohesive theme, & that they were just trying to get the best from every song.

Three Nicky lead vocals? Hmmm.... Put me in the camp of people not excited by that.
Will he sing any of them live? Has he ever sung anything apart from William's Last Words live with the Manics before?

Did he do a cover? Or a PFAYM song? Maybe I just don’t wanna remember.

Yeah he’s done both - No Feelings (Pistols) and The Future Has Been Here.
Wattsville Blues too. Surprised The Anchoress hasn’t joined them for another song or two. |

He did Divine Youth a couple of times on the Holy Bible 20 tour. And a cover of No Feelings by the Sex Pistols more recently. And of course his startling performance of Wattsville Blues in Cuba. I hope he does sing these new ones live, change things up a bit.

Thanks all - just realised I witnessed one of those performances of Divine Youth!

Sounds like they're no guest vocalists then for this album. I've got used to them appearing on each album now haha. Weird why they finished it in Feb and it won't be out until maybe 12 months later...
