If, as it sounds, they've basically set John Gray's 'Straw Dogs' to music this could be even more bleak than THB! Can't wait...


What can you say about a band that has titles like these on an album with stated aims to be "commercial pop" and "mass communication?"

I tried to post this hours ago and FD hiccupped at me until I gave up but ...

"I love them."

I know what you're saying, but I guess there's not much point in trying for mass communication if you don't have anything interesting to communicate.

Same here. We do it to ourselves every single time. New Manics albums and new Sonic games are pretty much the same thing.
