SKON is written solely by Nicky, so it goes without saying that (along with his Golden Platitudes) it displays the best songwriting on PFAYM. And it's supposedly about remembering dogs, so that helps. I'm just turned off by the overbearing production.

They are so not 4 real tru COR!  This kind of reaction to the Holy Bible or the follow up gospel would have you ex-communicated from the Manic Fandom and rightly so Quote:
The Killing Moon has to be one of the best songs ever written...but digress Quote:

I'm worn out defending the Manics, dunno if I have enough energy left for the Bunnymen as well!

Also, watch Nicky at the end of this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ld8fODQDaIc Dogs! Take it, take it, take the revelation! It makes the song x5 better. Richey would be honoured to be compared to a dog anyway. He hated people. They all do. Maybe if It's Not War was about hamsters, it wouldn't be so shit.

After the previous big "Love!" single it seemed dirty and seedy, like Send Away the Tigers.

However what I am grateful for is Nicky's newly found songwriting skills after 20 odd years in the business. The Future Has Been Here 4ever, Marlon JD and She Bathed Herself... are some of the best songs of the modern MSP era.

I just looked at the title of this thread and immediately said to myself "It's called "It's Not War (Just The End Of Love)" - what an idiot!" and then realised I created the thread with the typo would a kind mod care to adjust it please?
PS: SKON is pure cheese but I do like it.

 And quite right too! Perhaps now's not a good time to say that.... I don't like The Intense Humming of Evil.... Runs for the hills, pursued by the CoR Inquisitors... In other news, the rest of THB is just...... bordering on perfection. The follow up gospel, that's a bit more flawed, but still ranks as their 3rd best work IMO (after THB and GATS, oh, that's not going to go down well either!).

Gold Against the Soul (I've lost days trying to work out acronyms) is one of my favourites Does that mean I ain't as CoR as be4?
