Thoughts

My first pass through this album left me thinking 'pretty good, sounds just like what you'd expect from the Manics.' Apparently that hasn't always been the case for the last few albums, so that's a start. On the second pass through, it all started growing on me. The first three songs are brilliant, and the rest stacks up pretty well too. Definitely one to re-listen to a few more times yet.
