I totally relate to Groundhog Days (who says Nicky can't write lyrics - they're wrong)

THE BEST MANICS ALBUM YET! Every song is good. It's hard to pick my favourites but I'd have to say - 'Epicentre', 'His Last Painting', 'So Why So Sad' and the best manics song ever 'Let Robeson Sing'

Fave tracks - Royal Correspondent/The Convalescent/Wattsville Blues. It has taken a lot of listening, but so did the Holy Bible. So Seanny did SWSS in one take, then pissed off home, aw. The only track that I can't get into yet is MEDD, except the ending, Mr Wire is so cute when the bile is flowing.

This is the best album to come from the msp, the best thing is they tried different types of music and Nick took over on vocals which was nice he has an angelic way of singing. I think this album is better that tmttmy.

I've just written to Sean about the drumming in The Convalescent. Told him please don't play it, all the Sean fans will need to go and lay down!

My faves are The Convalescent and Let Robeson Sing. Intravenous and I like the drums on SWSS even if they were done in one take, you can't tell.

New album... yeah I like it. It grows. Faves: Baby Elian/Wattsville/Miss Europa/So Why So Sad (after hearing Sean had a tantrum during the making! oh yes...)/The Convalescent. It was supposed to be punk?! I dunno. But I love it, yeah. XXXXX

Royal Correspondent. This is my favourite track off the album, I think its about the pro - monarchist, who is still clinging to the idea that the royalty are prestigious. The melody is haunting and i just really love it, admittedly though, it didn't stand out until a few listens!

Hmmmmm. Well ok I love the album full stop!! Firstly the line "So sparkle and believe" got me. I couldn't remember what song it was from so I looked through the book thingy about five times for it. My three fave songs are The Convalescent, Wattsville Blues and Intravenous Agnostic. Pah I don't believe that it only got three k's and 7 out of 10. Well that's all I have to say. Love yas aoibheann

We love Sean and think he is the sexiest drummer in the world, but he should say more 'cos he has a really sexy voice!!!! We think the new album 'Know Your Enemy' is so fantastic! We really love 'Let Robeson Sing' and 'Miss Europa Disco Dancer'.

Well bastard and fuck. I'll not hear the album till the weekend, it's my birthday present. But I've liked everything I've heard already (SWSS, FTS, Miss Europa, Ocean Spray, Freedom, Wattsville, Elian and that's all I think)

Alienated again on Sun Mar 18
I don't even have the album yet but I will later today, it's 1am on album release date. But I've been playing the 1st half of the cardiff gig and Let Robeson Sing is beautiful. That'll be number 1 if they release it next. Monday night the 2nd half of the cardiff gig's on R1 so it'll be a total manic fix... :)

I have the live stream on at the moment and one song I can't wait to hear again is The Convalescent. I love the lyrics... the ones about Nicky's collages and teletext tv.
