DON'T DO IT!!!!!

I really really like Epicentre for some reason. I fucking HATE SWSS, Miss Europa & Wattsville Blues. Three worst songs the Manics ever made! Let Robeson Sing is another of their poorest songs IMO.

I disagree. It's not my favorite Manics album but there is no doubting its pretty much one hell of a journey when you first listen to it.

I'll just do my top 5

1. Let Robeson sing

Haha I guess your right. I was kind of joking. If it's the ONLY album by them you've not heard you should get it! :-) And it's worth it for Epicentre alone

Some good b-sides from this era. No idea why they didn't include Just A Kid for example.

I knew you were joking ofcourse

I just remember this initial rush when i first heard it. It was all over the place, sort of wild. I found it very eclectic.

I agree with your call on Epicentre. Amazing song. Also agree with you about the b-sides from that era. Locust Valley and Masking Tape are wicked.

The Gutless Wonder · #37 21-12-2009, 13:56

Masking Tape and Epicentre are two of my faves!

I don't know why people tend to hate this album. I think it's brilliant.
