I don't get people saying "what if they'd realised Lifeblood after TIMT?" They would have been critically slated and LB would have been nestled between Travis & Katie Melua in middle aged peoples record collections. Not to mention lose more of their hardcore fanbase already disillusioned by TRUTH. The fact is they didn't. Each album always seem to be a reaction against the previous one with this band.

Also, the quote you put of mine was a response to someone saying they thought the Manics were of the belief they could release anything and still be the biggest band in the UK. Not about putting people off them. The exact opposite.
