Bonkers that the two bonus tracks aren't on the 2CD edition. What are they playing at? One of them will probably be the best track on the album as usual.

They'll never get to number 1 again if fans aren't 'strongly encouraged' to buy multiple versions in order to get the complete experience.

Lovely song, nice video .

[savemejebus]

i'm still not gone on the song but it's probably the best video they've done this century.

Hilariously they won't let me spend 100 dollars on shipping to the US because these are all UK only. At least the album is out on iTunes/Spotify/etc. here!

Decided to look up Johatsu

Jōhatsu or jouhatsu refers to the people in Japan who purposely vanish from their established lives without a trace.

Add that song to the list...

Nothing quite like a Manics release to remind you how much their store stings you for postage.

£6.10 when HMV does delivery for free?

Admittedly HMV for the 2 CD package is two pounds more expensive for the actual product, but it would still work out as four pounds cheaper overall.

Surely it should be cheaper to buy direct from the artist? I can afford the difference, but I just don't want to pay it on principle!

HMV probably have some venture capitalists pumping millions into them to ensure that the brand, some sort of brand, keeps afloat. So can take the hit to compete.

Good song, I really enjoyed the video but it's odd why this song got a proper video and D&F didn't (no, the crappy lyric video doesn't count). Weird seeing Naysmith and Wayne in the video too for maybe the first time? I'll buy the album on 2CD and one vinyl.

TLORN holding record for taking ages to get into.
This morning washing machine ears but seemed average.
Love the lyrics. Step up from Divine&Fall. And that instrumental break at the end!
I'm not playing it over like D&F.
What is it with worst possible time for releases!
Not ordered yet but intend to.

Have we got enough for a compilation of extra/Japansse only tracks?

[Son of Stopped]

Sorry for triple post but saw on Facebook a sponsored underneath for the Manics which uses recent live footage with Hiding In Plain Sight (I've been calling it Hidden In Plain Sight by mistake all day). And the thing is... The two things work!

7" single purchased as I realised it was available on its own, tucked away in another part of the store. Not to push you to buy a bundle of course, oh no.

Being less cynical... the new single's definitely giving me a few goosebumps, and D&F's grown on me a bit too having listened to the two tracks together on Spotify.

Now not showing as sold out. Must have found some more. Lol. Dropped the ‘1000 copies only’ thing too. Hmm.

Oh, that's good that it’s not bundle-exclusive at least.
