I'm really getting in to the Manics new album now. Richey's lyrics are amazing.
My faves our This Joke Sport Severed and Facing Page Top Left.
I can play them on guitar and can put up tabs if anyone's interested.
It's a great album, my 2nd favourite of the year so far. My faves at the moment are Jackie Collins, Me & Steven Hawkins, She Bathed Herself In A Bath Of Bleach and Journal For Plague Lovers, the chorus on the title track is soooo good. I like the ones you mentioned as well. Some of the riffs remind me of REM, like the opening riff on She Bathed...... Facing Page reminds me of Small Black Flowers. The lyrics are amazing, as you say. And some of the titles are classic Manics chaos. I think this album contains some of the finest Manics materiel ever, an instant classic. Probably soon to be my favourite Manics album, I've got it on as I write this, Marlon JD is on now, it's sooo f***ing good!!!!
