That description of that particular track is so basic I'm really surprised anyone can derive a 'it's going to be shit/[insert other adjective here]' from it.

That wouldn't surprise me in the least.

Granted, I've not heard it but the subject matter hardly seems inspired.

Not sure whether I'm going to get the standard album + vinyl, or just the deluxe album by itself

Oh well.
I like U2. their progress is similar to Manics
They peaked with "Boy", released decent albums October, War and The Unforgettable Fire -quite similar to Manics (up to EMG, different peak THB), Joshua Tree doesn't work for me, first 4 songs are completely different to the rest. (quite similar to TIMTTMY), then Achtung Baby is something good which Manics skipped.
Zooropa a piece of garbage, Manics continued with shitty KYE. Then fine album (but no masterpiece) Pop = Lifeblood and then they only released SHIT except for No Line on the Horizon. Same with Manics and JFPL.

thanks God there are so similarities in personell

U2 are a load of dog todd. There are literally LOADS of bands way better. Manics, REM, Radiohead, to name but a few.

A is rubbish. B is much better. C is total rubbish though I haven't heard it yet. D might be ok as long as I like it.

oh no of course the drums are shite, because there's Roger Taylor sitting behind them.

It was full of celebs and was like a walking "whose who" of british rock and pop; just very odd indeed.

I wouldn't compare U2 & the Manics. U2 are not routed in the everyday and ordinary in a way that the Manics still are. James, Nicky & Sean are still living pretty much ordinary lives in the UK with two of them still living very close to where that were born and grew up. They haven't lived the Hollywood superstar lives and done what Bono & the Edge have. I think the Manics are certainly still true and honest with and about themselves while U2, well, they are pretty far removed from most peoples normality and seem quite happy to be like that. And if U2 still loved the whole writing, recording, rehearsing playing live routine we'd have had more albums from them and not just long periods of nothing. You've got to give it to the Manics (& I think James probably drives this) they certainly have an impressive work ethic and seem to genuinly enjoy and thrive on the routine they've built up of constant work, developing/writing and releasing albums and then touring.The Manics are a much better band all round for me.

Indeed.

How can you over-step your limits? (-;
