My point is that the games threads should have their own subforum or whatever. I'm not denying anyoes right to play them but when someone does their points system thing for each album that's up to 10 of these threads bumped up over other more important news

Would have been nice if Sleepflower, Nobody Loved You and Further Away had full UK releases but ah well.

1985 should certainly have been a single; as should & could practically any song on Journal For Plague Lovers that James sang.....

as one of the strongest b-sides ever, perhaps Prologue To History should have been a non-album single?

slightly departing from this, but Quarantine was somewhat wasted as a DVD only track, wasn't it?

Definitely No Surface All Feeling. I also genuinely think that they should have just said 'fuck it' and done Of Walking Abortion as a single, unplayable title and swearing and all.

yeah, but a very good one - borrowing from ex-Beatles didn't harm a certain band from Manchester no longer with us

Heyday Of The Blood - just listening to this now and forgot how much I enjoy it and how catchy it would've been as a single.
