Futurology

[MRK]

I rather suspect this will be forgotten like Lifeblood or KYE. I am bitterly disappointed. I liked the songs I'd heard beforehand, but this is just poor. I found myself actually loathing it more as the record progressed. Then by the end that I realised I hate all the lyrics and most of the vocals. And then it made me reflect on other Manics albums, and then I realised that as I grow older I appreciate Nicky and Richie's lyrics less and less, to the point where I now think they are mostly terrible.

So yeah, I dislike this record so much that it's made me reflect on the Manics in a very negative way. It's most unfortunate.
