Yeah, i think itswicked, and Nicky had to gett rid of some of that pent up anger & darkness, and this was the perfect way for him to do it. The album is a master piece, as is The Great Western, but in its own, VERY different way. I love IKTZ, and to be honest it gets more frequent listens from me than TGW does!

Not a masterpiece, but a really good record. The other day I gave it a listen (it had been a long time since the last one) and confirmed all of its qualities.

It's definitely underrated!
Nicky can't sing for saving his life, however I can't help but liking his voice anyway (I don't know why!), and the songs are seriously awesome. I've had it on Repeat for days.

I've just got the Japanese edition with the extra tracks. I'm blissed out at having a day with two 'new' Nicky songs.

Nice. Is it worth getting then?

I played IKTZ to my year 1 class for the 1st time today, with a couple of songs left out for sweary reasons. They loved it! Hannah and Tia were dancing to it, Matt and Joshua were doing air guitar. They kept asking for me to put it on again, and one girl whispered 'this is my best song in the world' at Stab Yr Heart. Cute!

I got it the other day. It's beautiful. No other way. It's so heartfelt and warming.
