This is what I dislike about RiF and also TUVL to an extent. They are recording albums as sections or layers, rather than as songs with a full band. It feels somewhat disconnected with songs lacking an anchor point. I get the impression that it's very rare for tracks to be rehearsed until after recording is completed and they're getting ready for the tour. Sometimes they come across as individual musicians who collaborate rather than a band that's been around for nigh on 40 years. I think it also ties into earlier comments from others about the lack of a Manics sound (for better and worse) especially lately as every layer is recorded in isolation.
