Forever Delayed - The Independent Manics Forum

I just had a look on the Manics YouTube page in case there was a snippet video there, not as yet but I did listen to Hiding in Plain Sight for the first time since it came out. I'm already at the point of finding it like wallpaper, just unremarkable and 'there'. Still prefer it to Decline and Fall at least.

And yet again another mailing signup!
Is it too early to predict if it charts under or above 50? (That's our new target now. HIPS and D&F have good lower chart runs!)
Do you think we'll get a lyric video or a performance video?
FD: BOTH!
Son... They can't afford both these days.

That awesome tracklist timings again.
I thought it was shorter but People Ruin Paintings is just but three seconds longer than 4.20 radio staple YSTSFMH!
That's intriguing!

Also love Autumnsong - 'wear your love like it is made of hate'! And Indian Summer. SATT is one of my favourite Manics albums overall, probably in my top 5. Definitely love it more than PFAYM, RTF and RIF.

(Can't stand YLAINE though!)

I just cannot get past the lyric "I'm just a patsy for your love, I need an angel from above."

Up there with "Drug Drug Druggy, got a feeling sweet like honey" and "The ending of this song, well I haven't really thought of one" in my worst Manics lyrics ever list.

The vocal melody is terrible and James's delivery sounds like he's on autopilot.

It's a modern Manics song for sure.

Snippet sounds cool though.

That’s a good 25 seconds

I like the snippet very much! Very tuneful. Excited to hear the full song.

Guessing this is where the Waterboys references come in. Not too enamoured with it so far (wasn't a fan of I think I found it) and sort of feel like I know what chorus sounds like already but we'll see tomorrow. Would prefer to be wrong and pleasantly surprised.
