Although I don’t think this is the most groundbreaking album of all time, it is absolutely a joy to listen to. The b side is the strongest side I think. I don’t know about the 80s influence or whatever I just hear the Manics.
More please

I get that I became a fan in a different time but my first exposure to the Manics was live concerts. Buying albums and singles came after, so when I think of what the Manics sound like I think of how they sound playing live.
Nothing they've put out, apart from the demos for this album or live recordings, sound like the real Manics to me because despite James's recent best efforts at laziness the Manics live show is still a guitar led, rock sound. When you go to a gig the songs sound heavier and more rock and roll than the records.
These recent albums, they might start off Manics with demos but end up overproduced and moulded into 80s nostalgia soft muzak looking to work it's way into spotify playlists.
