Yeah, negative as I might be, snippets of interviews, and a general pattern, suggests they might do something more up my street next. TUVL didn't work for me, but I can't deny they were at least going for something a bit different. And in the last 20 years, the pattern is very obvious:
Lifeblood - branching out
SATT - Manics-by-numbers
JFPL - branching out
PFAYM - Manics-by-numbers
RtF/F (recorded at the same time, of course) - branching out
RiF - Manics-by-numbers
TUVL - branching out
CT - Manics-by-numbers?
Next album - four lengthy krautrock-style jams with a ton of trumpet improv from Sean
I'm just hoping they can knock out some less obvious songwriting, really. But while I might moan, I'm not giving up on the band. Not until they put out three or four albums like this in a row.
