Bass riff in the chorus of Wattsville Blues = the greatest thing ever done.

I don't really hate this album, and there are some really good tracks, but there are also a load of tracks that are so unremarkable that I couldn't even hum them or quote a lyric from them, despite owning this album for 8 odd years and having listened to it many times. It's more of a meh album than a bad one for me.

2nd best after the Bible
It's interesting, highly charged, and aggressive Bloody quality, and I'm filtering out any negativity.

It's so different and that's why I love it!

In my opinion, an album as highly flawed as it was anticipated.

A brilliant and brave album hidden amongst mess and filler. It's ace.

It was the first Manics album I ever heard, when I was about ten years old in 2002. My Dad was holding a party of some sort and I was in charge of music. So I took this strange CD from the shelf with big white letters and a red background and played the thing from start to finish. I still remember as clearly as the day it happened me going up to Dad and saying "What should I do when it goes 'brain-dead mother fuckers'?"
Liked the album at the time and it was the first Manics album I actually bought in 2006 when I saw it for £3.99 at the local store in Peacehaven. I had just enough pocket money for it and I copied it to my MP3 player. It was only a year later when I knew Send Away The Tigers was coming out that I bought the key back-catalogue albums and started getting into them. KYE is more or less my least favourite Manics album but it does have a special place in my musical history. Listening to it now for the first time in yonks. Memories...

An album that gave us these 12 tracks can't be bad.

I remember my Dad saying this album was crap (He went off the Manics because of this album) then I bought it and thought "Your wrong Dad, WRONG!". Anyway, Happy Birthday KYE!

As James said " we wanted to make an album that sounded like we were pissing blood"
I'd go with that. Some great tracks and one of the best openers.
