Just went to Tesco's on my lunch break and there were no copies left! A good sign that it's selling?

good to hear mate - i know it's a question that crops up and up so it's tempting to give a "straight" answer, as it were. glad you are OK, matey.

The Piano at the start of Golden Platitudes reminds me of the start of Angels by Robbie, but when James starts singing it sounds more like the verse at the start of Come Undone by Robbie.

SKON is bloody ace. I can't believe I wasn't that fond of it at first. I don't get all the negativity towards Auto Intoxication - I think it's bloody brilliant.

oh god ..i go away for two weeks (holiday..very lovely ta) and everthing goes mental..i can't keep up with all this promo catch-up business.. i have too much going on! Even Sean interviews to add to the list.. not fair!

i've only listened to the album a couple times but after the shock of the single only at 28 i'm thrilled the album is doing really well

Ditto. As I've said before around here somewhere Nicky Wire may not have a technically good voice but it has a certain soul to it

I'm not sure what I think about this album yet. It's very mainstream a la Send Away The Tigers, which I liked, and I understand that it was the objective but it still feels odd to me. Although, I think that will change after a few more listens.

The only thing I feel strongly about at this point is that the album should have been 10 tracks. All We Make is Entertainment is a fitting end and the last two songs just seem tacked on for the sake of making the album 12 tracks.

Favorite tracks: Postcards From A Young Man (does anyone else think the chorus sounds like U2's Windows in the Skies?), Some Kind Of Nothingness, Golden Platitudes, All We Make is Entertainment

"We're so post-modern, We're so post-everything"
