Just bought the album from Tesco.On my second listen,it will grow on me I think.Just been used to hearing their last album for ages, it's so different to that.Be difficult to sing along to these songs I think,James is good at fitting all the words in lol.The song Nicky sings is bad though, he'd be better sticking to just playing bass.

It's terrible (the Nicky song). I always skip it without guilty feelings.

The B sides to the single are far better then most of the songs.I really love Distractions and Ospolitik.Think both are brilliant,was so happy hearing those for the first time.The Manics are masters of the B side.Pity they weren't on the album.

That's been the biggest earworm on the album for me so far. I'm even starting to like it.

Just been on eil.com.. No, I don't know why either.

Says on there that the box set is limited to 1000, the LP to 2000 and the 2cd to 5000. Anyone any wiser to this? http://eil.com/artist/manic-street-preachers.asp

Me too Tan.I don't know why he bothers to sing.His voice isn't the best.Good job he had backing singers to help him put a bit lol.
