It's a fabulous record MJ. Fair enough if you don't like it but plenty of us do!

Apparently not. They'll spend the latter part of this year, and probably a sizeable chunk of the next, promoting that new compilation and various books. That's the good thing about them releasing Greatest Hits - it saves them re-writing their hits on the next studio album. If we're lucky. Well, it worked to a certain extent with Lifeblood. Hopefully it can be seen as a bookend to this awful era of living off past glories. Until the next album fails to make the top ten...

They must think that Wolves won't be able to cope with the huge demand for their next tour. Good luck with that.

Maybe it just reflects the fact that it's a while between gigs

I still don't see the point of a greatest hits tour... I'm pretty sure what I saw in Newport last year was a Greatest Hits show.

Its obvious they weren't / aren't happy with PFAYM. It was over produced bollocks. Make the music you want to make lads, not the music you think you owe to the management/record company after the non-commercial angle of JFPL

There are people who enjoy get raped by dolphins (you really don't want to know why I know such things), so that's not a valid example!
