Had a first listen all the way through on headphones in the dark ha!
Main thoughts:
1. The singles are generally the best songs.
2. People Ruin Paintings is my favorite Manics single in yonks. Gorgeous production and arrangement.
3. Nicky songs are all great. This needs to be a new thing.
4. My Brave Friend has my favorite melody I think.
5. This is real 80s indie guitar. Loads of arpeggios. Peter Buck could be playing Being Baptised.
6. This album is a poppier Futurology. Love it.
7. We need a Nicky fronted PiL version of the Manics.
