I'm sorry for letting fly, it was in the heat of the moment, & early in the morning.

Well I'd like to hope that if you disagree with someone who's put a valid point rather than 'you're shit and so is this song ROFL fail' then at least some reasoned debate should occur from those who disagree. But hey.

Don't worry about it

Well you would think so, but on forum with so many oddly formed opinions, both pro & anti, it is hard to be bothered.

JUST GOT THIS BY EMAIL - MAILING LIST

Manic Street Preachers' tenth studio album Postcards From A Young Man was released on Monday in a flurry of amazing reviews. It's very close at the top of the album chart (very VERY close) so if you would like to help the guys to #1, please get your copy of the album from any of the links below. If you've already bought one (thank you) - tell your friends and family to buy one too!

A begging email!!

franny · #**3005** 24-09-2010, 10:22

Email forwarded to all those who might be interested.

Whatever happens now, it's been good fun all week. Even if they don't stick to their word (ha!) of this being 'OLSAMC'*, it's the last time we'll ever get to chat about them being No.1 on a Friday morning.

*That abbreviation for one last shot as mass communication is well overdue. Ironically, I've only ended up wasting more time by using it on this occasion.

the important thing is that Collins is still the major challenger.

I decided to buy it again yesterday so thats the box, the signed and 2cd version now. The things I do for this band. Maybe they should do a free gig if they get to number 1, that would shift a few more copies.

y2kyle16 · #**3009** 24-09-2010, 10:48

The box doesnt count towards the charts

Napoleon Bonaparte · #**3010** 24-09-2010, 10:52

I've been encouraging friends to buy the "Pleasures virtual" version for £3.99 on amazon. Seems quite reasonable.

The fuckers never email me, I've signed up like a dozen times or something. I've bought the single, double and memento so far anyway, the LP can fuck off for the time being.

I hate the "pointless jobs lead to pointless lives" line from All We Make Is Entertainment. Yeah, fair enough.. it's in a song called All We Make Is Entertainment so I kinda get the impression they could be talking about themselves there too. It just doesn't settle well with me, kinda feels like having a middle class person tell me what it's like to be working class.

That is the one song I thought very strange from the 1 listen I've had so far. I hope it's joke gone wrong - like Underdogs - rather than an intelligent comment Nicky is trying to make.

Finally had my first listen today. Must say, I was quite surprised how instant I found it to be. Production is very polished. Quite enjoyed it from the moment I put the headphones in. Solid 7/10 at this stage.

How gorgeous is Golden Platitudes...

Don't get me wrong, I think the song sounds great, it's just that one line. Like I say though, going by the title if nothing else it sounds like they're saying "don't take us too seriously".
