Thought the new song sounds rather great actually and i was dreading listening to it after those early comments but it has a real effortless, breezy charm and the guitar sounds great. I could see this belonging on intimism. It's another nostalgia, looking back lyric but fine, i still think it sounds great and it's a ballsy move to have a nicky-fronted single. Down for that.
Then i saw the vid which elevated it to another level for me because it's about something and we almost get the return of the man in the salmon pink suit. Maybe i'm just starved for decent manics vids these days.

Please, he prayed, now -
A gray disk, the colour of Chiba sky.
Now -
Disk beginning to rotate, faster, becoming a sphere of paler gray. Expanding -
And flowed, flowered for him, fluid neon origami trick, the unfolding of his distanceless home, his country, transparent 3D chessboard extending to infinity.
Inner eye opening to the stepped scarlet pyramid of the Eastern Seaboard Fission Authority burning beyond the green cubes of Mitsubishi Bank of America,
and high and very far away he saw the spiral arms of military systems, forever beyond his reach.
And somewhere he was laughing, in a white-painted loft, distant fingers caressing the deck, tears of release streaking his face.
