Well, for a band on their 10th album, they've done fairly well though I do question as to whether or not they've picked up many new fans with this album. Only a handful of long-term bands can maintain massive success throughout their career so in that sense, I think they've been doing phenomonly well in the UK with the last 3 albums they've released. Bottom line is, they're still around and there's still a demand for their material. They may not reach number 1 or even pull a Dark Side of the Moon in the charts, but people still buy their albums so it's highly amusing for me to see people dogging them because they aren't this massive selling act even though they still have achieved a fairly good showing for a bunch of 40 year olds on your charts. And please don't compare them to the likes of Phil Collins and Eric Clapton. Those guys have long established musical pedigree internationally. The Manics and those artists exist in two very different realms of commercial success and established credibility.

Well said Shannon!
