I actually think it's quite alright, vocals are a bit off - but that makes it more - raw i suppose.

I love it, wouldn't go as far as 'masterpiece' but it's close. It got me excited about the Manics again after the very good but soporiphic Lifeblood. Nicky is 'no Pavorotti' but his vocals suit the songs. I prefer it to several Manics albums.

I have just bought it. Yes I know it been out a while, but I took the plunge eventually.

I really enjoyed it, and repeated it immedietly.

Its different, but familiar in a way.
Good, strong album I think!

Masterpiece may be a bit strong, but I do like it quite a bit. Prefer it to JDB's solo outing by miles and miles...

I was surprised, as it's the first time I've heard someone prefer Nicky's voice.


*a cruel reference to JDB, which earnt him a swift shove on the arm.
I shall have to be having words with your husband! Idiot? Tsk!

Well, it's not that I dislike the JDB album, quite the opposite actually, but I prefer the rawness of Nicky's record. I think someone could hear TGW and mistake it for a Manics album, whereas IKTZ inhabits its own space. And quite well, I might add.

I'm actually listening to it now, for the first time in about a year.
It's still no way near as good as The Great Western

Heard two songs from this yesterday. It's fuck-awful. The levels of funny-bad you expect from the majority of unsigned local bands.

Take out So Much For the Future, and you have a near perfect album.

It's in my top 15 albums of all time list on Rate Your Music anyway, so yes, it's just magnificent.
