Sculpture Of A Man and Yourself are the two coming to mind at the moment. Just the sound in comparison to their other songs. Certainly the Manics have done plenty of different sounding stuff throughout their career which is good!

I reckon theres usually one on each album.

GT - Repeat stars and stripes
GATS - Sympathy pf turrette
THB - Intense humming of evil
EMG - Further away ( lyrically anyway )
TIMTTMY - Im not working
KYE - Miss europa disco dancer
L - Fragments
SATT - Um actually i cant think of any for that one
JFPL - Williams last words
PFAYM - I cant think of any for this either
RTF - 4 Lonley Roads
F - Devine youth

Miss Europa Disco Dancer

And yet it manages to be one of my favorite Manics songs.

PFAYM - The Future Has Been Here Forever is probably the least Manics-like on that album. Although that is the most obviously Manics sounding album apart from SATT.

For SATT I'd probably say the title track is pretty atypical. When I first heard it I was thinking 'this doesn't really sound like a conventional Manics song'. But still far less 'different' than most others already suggested in this thread.

Miss Europa is a good choice from KYE but So Why So Sad has to run it a close second.

When I first heard it on the radio, I thought it was the Monkees!

My wife thought I was mad when I told her because she'd heard the new single but it was the other one released at the same time, Found That Soul.

Isn't this the only time they have played it live?

Patrick Bateman seems like a unique manics track. Even if it's mostly shit.

Patrick Bateman.

They've never tried to be that metal at any other time.
