I haven't listened to IKTZ for a month probably.
On wednesday I had the craving for a solo Manics album, but opted for The Great Western instead.

The worst song in general is So Much For The Future. And I mean OF ALL TIME. Absolute fucking tripe, I can't believe someone put money into making that bollocks.

Ruins what is otherwise an absolutely fantastic album for me, I'm truly in love with it.

I love Bobby Untitled - something amazing. and of course Derek Jarman's Garden - one of the best songs I've ever heard! <hides away>

I still listen to IKTZ quite a lot i was listening to it yesterday on the bus on the way to hydro connect. I really love it but So Much For the Future is just awful but it doesn't ruin the album because i can just skip it

I completely agree.

I love the rest of the album...not a patch on James' record for me but I still really like it

I like So Much For the Future. I put it on repeat during one of my 'depressive bastard' episodes at uni.

Robert Frost as well.

Bobby Untitled is absolutely fantastic

How much does The Shining Path steal from "The Vision of Peregrine Worsthorne" by McCarthy?

I listened to it again this morning.
His voice works best near the end of the album, but it's still a good listen.
Nicky Wires Last is the one I really enjoyed today.
I still find an unsold copy of this album in my local second hand store.
Good enough to carry off a solo album, but not sure if he could carry on a career like this?

I still enjoy this album greatly. I would hope for another but i know thats probably a slim chance.

I've recently obtained the B-sides i didn't have and i'm really enjoying those aswell.

I hadn't listened to it for ages so have just put it on now - I think I'll skip 'So Much for the Future', as much as I love the rest of the album I really don't like that one!
