@bigmonsterlove I stayed away out of some principle I had at the time of not approving of the Pixies reforming. "That'll show em"

@Carlo_Magliocco Maybe, but only one band achieved a synthesis

No one: Well Carlo, what's your musical opinion that would cause you to lose most of your friends? Me: First 5 songs of Enema of the State are better than the first 5 songs off Is This It?

@cmatbaby Paging @ChartMusicTOTP. Two generations of Nolans fans colliding in April 2021.

@TheCraigAustin @RhianEJones Richey calling both of these out in 1993. Have they stopped making them in the press these days?

@RhianEJones The earliest Manics-based example of this I can recall is 'New Port Dolls'.

@Carlo_Magliocco @Spoofology @AndreaCleary_ Whattup guys, this song both fades in and out and is therefore forever playing in an endless jam on Sting's Tuscan Villa and i know you love it m.youtube.com/watch?v=stlKHh…

@manicspodcast My controversial-ish take is at this point I wouldnt mind the extended live band to just became official members, I like the big sound they have live.

Last one of these for a little while... thoughts please on RESISTANCE IS FUTILE. The most recent, so it's had the least time to 'settle.' Love it? Loathe it? Standout tracks? Anything you'd take off? Tell. Us. Everything. #ManicStreetPreachers

@Spoofology Imagine being against partying

@Spoofology Dancing to the new album

@bigmonsterlove @74frankfurt James Taylor had a britpop period??

Bjork on the main stage at T in the Park, Strathclyde Park. (1994)

@dugganbryan @LlSTENlNG_PARTY @LoneLadyHQ Yessssa

Friday 9th October 9pm (U.K. time) Julie Campbell will be our guest host for a @LlSTENlNG_PARTY featuring Hinterland by @LoneLadyHQ Join us

@dugganbryan @Carlo_Magliocco Yes

@dugganbryan @Carlo_Magliocco At his best, yes.

@Carlo_Magliocco McCartney's lack of taste is both a blessing and a curse.

@Carlo_Magliocco Even he doesn't know how he wrote a song that good.

@captain_says Well, sorry to hear it. It's always good to hear fans of music talk and disagree over stuff rather than those "everything is genius" types, always chasing exclusives.

@Johnlynch Generally I guess yes, but not so liked by certain people & their listeners who have gone on several campaigns to do everything possible to ruin us.. playing dirty seems to be the only thing they're good at

@Carlo_Magliocco @Johnfoofarrell NO FAKE FANS THIS THREAD IS OVER

@Johnfoofarrell @Carlo_Magliocco

@manicspodcast At the time i ignored it, thought they were trying too hard to keep up, went back to it years later.

@manicspodcast Best album since Everything Must Go. Dated artwork. Band of course claim to hate any album of theirs that didn't sell a bazillion copies 🙄

Okay. I think we're ready to open this potential can of worms. Give us your thoughts on LIFEBLOOD. General impressions, favourite songs, least favourite songs, has your love for the album increased or decreased over time? Anything you like.
