Same could be said about Eric Pickles and he's a cunt.

The only closing tracks I don't really care for are Condemned To Rock 'N' Roll, Freedom Of Speech Won't Feed My Children, Winterlovers, William's Last Words, and Don't Be Evil.

Actually, that's almost half of them isn't it? But yeah, as amnesic said, everything is subjective.

The only one I don't care of is the one of Lifeblood, well you can add the title track of Gold Against the Soul but I can listen to that all the way trough(likewise with the other albums).

Opinions are fine but... Sometimes people are just wrong!
Cardiff Afterlife is brilliant and if you think otherwise then you are stupid

That is a subjective opinion which is just as valid as another subjective opinion that it is the dog's bollocks (am I showing my age using that phrase?)

say one of your mates said their favourite band was Little Mix wouldn't you react in a *whaaaaaattttt?? you must be nuts* fashion? or a tv show saying *oh come on thats shit* or do you sit there stroking your chin and say *i respect your opinion but i have to politely disagree with you*

come on it's just banter. No one's calling anyone an idiot

I love Cardiff Afterlife, but for me it's not a very good album closer. I like my albums to have an outro, or an 'end' feeling to them. The sudden stop just leaves me feeling cold unfortunately. And yeah, I get that it fits well with the other songs and that the cold ending is representative of the album as a whole and all, but it's just not for me. I sorta feel the same way about 30 Year War. Great song but maybe something else should have closed the album. Running Out of Fantasy maybe.

Condemned to Rock N Roll is probably my fave closing track. The guitars are just fantastic and just sound perfectly like an end to an album. No Surface All Feeling is another brilliant close. And of course PCP.

I don't even know who Little Mix is! Never heard of them. If I do know them I just say "oh, alright then"

Girlband 2011 X-factor winners. They were on the show last night which is why they were in my head. I was going to put One Direction

[amnesic]

I'm vaguely aware of one direction from the fact that they are on pretty much any product at the moment but I've never heard any of their songs. I live a sheltered life....

Cardiff Afterlife might well be the only song on Lifeblood that doesn't suck.

1985?!

I'm not even a massive lover of Lifeblood, but even I can tell that 1985 is totally ace.
