I just noticed... the chorus of A Billion Balconies Facing the Sun has almost the same melody as The Ghost of Christmas.

The same here except for Lifeblood - there are a few b-sides I prefer. I listen to my top 5 Manics albums as they were intended though most of the time.

On first listen it sounds like all the good songs of SATT.
I can hear a lot of Imperial Bodybags and The second Great Depression. It's shiny and pop, but respectful. So far my favourite tracks are All We Make Is Entertainment, Auto Intoxication and A Billion Balconies Facing The Sun. But this is all after one listen. I can't place it yet on my list of favourite albums. One more listen and I'll try!

EDIT: Oh, and as everyone seems to be doing it. I haven't downloaded any music illegally in years. I only did with this because I'm impatient and have already ordered it in many formats I know it's still wrong, but I'm not being a dick!

I've mentioned my views on downloading before but, as we're on the topic, I'll mention them again.

When it comes to music, I will download albums. If I like them, I go out and buy the albums and delete the downloaded version. If I don't like them, I simply delete the album from my computer. I will always buy music because I am of the opinion that the artwork and the actual physical album itself is half the point. And there will always be people like me, so that's why downloading won't destroy the music industry. And in the end, the music industry needs to see downloading for what it really is where people like me are concerned - free publicity. When Radiohead released In Rainbows, I downloaded it for free and I liked it so I purchased the CD and the vinyl. See? Free publicity resulted in 2 sales.

Posted this (probably wrongly) in the main PFAYM thread so here it is again! :

At the end of the day, you cant download physically being at a live gig. Artists will make money so long as people want to see them. More publicity via downloads can potentially mean more ticket sales.

...and of course I will still buy the album. I'm just very curious and a little impatient - it has felt like an age since the announcement, the single and the release date three weeks away.

Worst songs:

Ok here's Joe's go:
The Holy Bible
Generation Terrorists
This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours
Gold Against The Soul
Everything Must Go
Journal For Plague Lovers
Lifeblood
Postcards From A Young Man
Know Your Enemy
Send Away The Tigers

May not be very high, but bear in mind I think everything from Lifeblood upwards is utter genius. Can't decide on this one yet.
