See I don't think TLORN is *that* bad, but it no way should have been a single, let alone the leading one. It wasn't that good live though from what I remember.

If you watch the performance, try not to sing along in your head and focus solely on James' singing, and not the backing vocal track, then I think it's easier to appreciate just how bad it really is.

Oh yeah, that as well, perhaps even more so, but I was referring to the 3 tracks linked in the original post.

I'm not surprised Empty Souls was a single, but 1985 definitely should've been. I think TLORN is a pretty decent tune and the production's excellent, though it wasn't strong enough to be a comeback single, and its title isn't exactly up there with the Manics' best, IMHO.
Still, I do love Lifeblood (and its b-sides/bonus tracks). Gonna give it a spin now.

I've always felt Empty Souls to be the best lifeblood song but 1985 has really grown on me recently
