Send away the tigers v Postcards for a Young man

[Colinzeal]

Is the general consensus on here that Postcards is the worst of the two?

I get that impression, but to me Send away the tigers is the worst Manics album. I just find it to be a total throw-away album that they didn't spend much time on. I find the lyrics particularly annoying and the music throughout sounds like a parody of the Manics. Whilst Postcards is flawed and the whole 'mass communication' thing really grated I think the song writing is much stronger and musically it has more interesting things going on even if it was spoiled by overuse of strings and gospel choirs.
