I get it but Decline and Fall sounds in the vein of other lead singles which seems once again geared to attract the over forty crowd that buys a couple of albums per year. If they haven't been listening to the Manics over the past 35 years they are not going to start now. Every single for the most part seems like they are re-assuring the public that they haven't changed much EMG or SATT which probably puts off a lot of people as well. I just wish they'd put out more singles that reflect the creativity of their albums (opinions will differ).
