Positives - return to commercial success; possibly kept the band together.
Negatives - inevitable sniping from a few fans who claimed the Manics had sold out; only two singles. Best songs - Rendition, Send Away The Tigers Worst songs - Underdogs, Working Class Hero

positives = backward "R" makes a welcome return, you didn't have to look for Nicky Wire up his own arse
negatives = a "pop" album named after Tony Hancock's references to his troubles with alcohol is somewhere even Morrissey never went, in the years since it was released, every time they refer to it as their "comeback" sounds more and more like a "fuck you" to the fans who, whilst having no "right" to the band, stood by them anyway best songs - underdogs, imperial bodybags worst songs - your love alone, autumnsong. didn't Nicky say they would never do love songs? these two would be close to that, and are total, fucking wank.

Quote:
And the Manics already did Further Away which is a love song, and a love song only, and i see no problem with that. A whole album of them would be shite, in fact maybe more than one an album would suck, but they write about what effects them blah de blah...
