Removables. It's head and shoulders above the rest, to me at least. It makes me feel all wibbly.

Enola/Alone should have been a single instead of the dull Kevin Carter. Other than that apart from Further Away there aren't any other songs suitable enough to be a single. Interiors sounds way too much like St Etienne for instance.

I didn't pick it myself but I'm super suprised by how poorly Elvis Impersonator is faring.

It's probably got some of their nicest chords in the intro, a great cluttery arrangement, one of James' best vocals, actually it's really great. In the top half of the album, for sure.

Further Away is pretty much the best Manics song ever, so that. Yeah.
