but basically from Mark III - I would say PFAYM is a much stronger album than SATT - lyrically, musically and production wise. And songs like ABBFTS, GP, TD and AWMIE are top rate Manic songs.

where is Lifeblood!!??

Lifeblood equals PL - not sure what happened there.... mad typing and smoking withdrawal symptoms

I can usually get the abbreviations for the album but for the tracks just post the first couple of words.

1. Send Away the Tigers
2. Postcards From a Young Man
3. Everything Must Go
4. Lifeblood
5. Holy Bible
6. This is My Truth
7. Know Your Enemy
8. Journal for Plague Lovers
9. Gold Against the Soul
10. Generation Terrorists

2-9 switch around pretty much daily. SATT was the album that got me into the Manics, I love how confident it sounds. Generation Terrorists is just meh to me.
