Oh my, so catchy! Reminded me immediately of Train by Goldfrapp, and the guitar cheekily reminiscent of the Masses Against the Classes crescendo! The visuals on YouTube were great, promises to be an amazing tour, bring it to Australia please!

Awesome song, heard it for the first time at the gig in leeds at liked it immediately. Very catchy, could turn out to be a very popular song for the Manics.

Anyone agree/disagree?

Also got the 'Let's salute eternalism' line from re-watching one of the videos.
Nice work on the lyrics. Has anyone worked out Futurology lyrics yet?

So fucking catchy. I wouldn't bet on any kind of chart success just because anything with guitars that isn't the 1975 doesn't stand a chance at the moment, but who cares? It's great to see most of FD in agreement about how awesome it is- something that's certainly never happened since I joined

I think the correct lyrics are:
"Geister wie verlegter Schlaf
Zeit die ich zurückgelassen habe
Renne weiter um zu fliehen
Renne weiter weg vom Leben"

"verlegt" means misplaced or lost and could refer to the Communist Manifesto:
"A spectre is Haunting Europe – the spectre of Communism."
"Geister" = spectres.

so my translation would be:
Spectres like misplaced sleep
time that I've left behind

Good video that. Also nice to see that James does his own pedalboard, hadn't actually managed to spot it yet and wondered if it was done offstage.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck! This new song is fucking immense! Shades of Bowie, the Clash, Holy Bible era MSP. A real Germanic stomper. Germanic Street Preachers

I'm fighting the urge to do the Friday night Brixton gig as well as the Sat now...

There is a bit of PiL in there as well isn't there? It's quite a clash of sounds, can't wait to hear the studio version.

Or the album for that matter.

Good call! Definitely a hint of PiL.

I've had this video on loop about 5 or 6 times now and it gets better and better. Hugely promising for the new album.

From watching the leeds video on YouTube the screen at the back has the lyrics on

Ghosts appear like ruined sleep
Destroyed like time I left behind
Keep on moving to escape
Keep running away from life

Robin can never be relied on for his impartiality when it comes to praising new Manics material...

@simon_price01: OHH wow. I won't comment on @Manics Futurology yet (in case I'm asked to review), but... I counted them all out and I counted them all back.

@Manics: @simon_price01 good fucking record

@simon_price01: @Manics Never mind mucking about on Twitter, you're onstage in ten minutes!

@robinturner: @simon_price01 ha shit that was me xx

@simon_price01: @robinturner (I guessed, haha)
