it's gradually moved up in my estimations from 'shit - average' to 'average - OKish.'
hmm, time will tell.

Basically, I was thinking the chorus needs more guitar and then I found this fella who proves my point!

Aye, agreed. I think it'll come over quite well live, providing they don't 'do a Naysmith.'

I have deliberately held off for a few days to cast judgment on this .... for 2 reasons: a) my typical reaction to anything new Manics is "Of course I'm gonna love it, its the Manics and b) to give a proper few listens so as not to cast an "a)" reaction:

So ... after about a half dozen listens:

I actually really like it - infectious melody, soaring guitar solo, cheeky little drum fills ... I cant get the melody out of my head.

I don't imagine its going to be in the top 10 of my fave manics songs ever, but from this soundbite, I am really really excited to see what the whole record sounds like. For a band that I've been listening to for the better part of 20 years, theyre still finding a way to write and create stuff that I think sounds fresh, vibrant and up for the task...

I say good job .. role on Sept 20.

EDIT: I can imagine its going to be blindin' live ... they better bloody do this 2011 US tour they promised last year ...

I think I love it because Tim Roth is on the album cover, and Michael Sheen will be in the video.

Really.
