I am loving the idea of something commercial - I think that they do it very well. I am not sure that they will get a mass audience again though.

I'm very happy with the above artwork, and the title's a hell of a lot better than INWetc. Consider me happy.

Yep, remember it well !

Still not convinced about the "commercial" part, but loving the artwork and the title!

Announcement AND cover on the very same day? Wow, that's fast!

Well I just think it's true mate. As their fans, we should want the Manics to be as successful as possible. We should want them to be in the public's eye and want more people to hear their music. Like I said, I haven't always enjoyed it when they've done something a bit different (LB is good but has no passion, KYE is a fucking mess) but I still love the fact that they don't just churn out the same old noise with each successive album. So if PFAYM turns out to be a mixture of EMG/SATT then that's wonderful because it's another opportunity for them to draw in an audience. The less commercial records they've done then become another side to the band for the new audience to discover.

And fuck it, SATT was not intelligent but it's still a fun record!! :D

No, I don't agree. Mainly because there's a huge difference between EMG and SATT. Good songs vs. bad songs. It's different to make good stadium-friendly songs and to give up all but commercionality of the album. JFPL is great because the songs are great, if the new album will be more poppy, it'll be OK as long as it contains good songs. But if it's full of Autumnsongs? Maybe it is and that's why they decided to realease it in September :) They couldn't like album like that themselves!

New album! I am so happy I could dance a jig.

Now, I just have to make it until September without cracking up!
;-)

I'd prefer extra new songs on the Deluxe Edition this time, rather than a bunch of demos, not that they weren't good and interesting.

I'm not bothered by a commercial focus if we get some good and great songs, and I expect most would feel the same way. The band is still the one that can make me more excited about a new record or tour than any other.

Well i don't know about anyone else, but i've been excited all day!

Huge tour where their playing Leicester which rarely gets awesome bands
and a new album, christmas has come early!
