Well it's certainly creating an interesting debate and divided a few people. Nicky himself said that there are in his opinion 2 sides to the Manics output. The Holy Bible-Journal in one camp and Everything Must Go-SATT in another. Obviously this falls into the latter which is unashamedly straightforward pop/rock for the masses that listen to Radio 2/Local commercial radio etc. My problem with this song is that it sounds too manufactured and not natural.

It's a song that ticks the boxes and it's clearly in their comfort zone. And that's why - to me at least, it feels rather hollow.
