It should have been the girl dresses as one of those Welsh dolls which I always used to buy with my pocket money when we had an holiday's in Wales.

I wish this was a medley of shit to put the edits of FD to shame and not a listing mistake.
It's so dull.

Well, the cover is bad but on the positive side there's no reverse Rs.

I like the cover, it makes me think of Castle in the Sky.

I'm not sure how they can call it the 'Complete singles' without Suicide Alley.

I'm quite happy about the tracklisting though as it means that I don't have to buy it as I have all of those songs apart from the new cover version which I'm not bothered about.

This album isn't aimed at fans, it's aimed at Alan Partridge types and people who are new to the band. Maybe some of them will buy it and then realise that they want to investigate the bands back catalogue further.

If someone buys it for me as a Christmas present then I wouldn't complain.

What I'd like is a tour so that they can promote the album with setlists that do not include any of the songs on national treasures.

I'd say its aimed at more casual fans who have liked a few of the singles but never bother with albums, the middleaged lot like myself who own more 'Greatest Hits' than 'normal' albums. We can just throw it in the trolley while wondering aimlessly round ASDA on a Saturday Afternoon.

It's probably going to be the start for many future Manics fans.

I don't mind the cover. Is the date right? Amazon says 31st October, which is my birthday!

We still need to see it in the Blackstar thread, and also Wuree's take on it.

I don't think the cover's that bad. Plus it does have some Wuree potential.

Boring. Bland. Beige. Not bad, just dull.
