For future reference, you always get your items on Saturday if you buy them off Townsend Records/the official site.

Hey, lets not go branding guarantees like that around hah! We send all our new release items on the Friday via first class post so they should get there Saturday but that's all down to Royal Mail :P

I don't quite understand? Did it get lost in the post? Did you let us know? Did you get a refund?

This really is the album I'd been wanting the Manics to make since I got into them and learnt their back catalogue. :D It's just glorious.

Glad I'm not the only one that loves it.


I really am in love with it. I can't wait to hear it on tour.

It may have been my fault as when I queried why it had'nt been delivered they said they had sent it to a No. 17 instead of 127. I went to No. 17 3 times over the 2 weeks but they said they never received it, whether they did or not I will never know.

Yes, I'm afraid so, but it did cost significantly less altogether than what some paid for the shoe box edition on the official site just to get that horrible t-shirt, so in their 500 faces.

In reality, it's only three formats.

Just saw that the standard album is #2 on the Amazon pre-release chart and the 2CD version is at #14. Should be a good sign indeed!

Got my deluxe edition today :D

+1. Definitely how i feel as well, i actually have no desire to listen to any of it ever again. The good songs were just good and not amazing, everything else was pretty average to downright poor. They haven't lost it, they made a great album last year and i'm sure they will again soon.

Good to see Kirb has still got it in him to be a Manics obsessive despite his moaning! :lol:
