I can’t see that it’s any “gayer” (if there’s such a word anyway) than all their previous albums?
Plus, there’s nowt wrong with being gay (which he actually isn’t, by the way) :)

The Ark is way too much hyper-hyped band.

Maybe in Sweden and Finland ;)

@Fiestaboy: IMO State Of The Ark lacked everything that The Ark is about in most places.

Title: The Ark

Soooo, anyone else here who loves them? ;)

The new album is SOOOO good, a true return to form after the slight disappointment that was “State Of The Ark” :D The new one, “Prayer for the Weekend” is a real feel-good, diverse singalong record and I always play it LOUD when I’m in my car :D

(PS - No slagging because of the ESC, you hear me? ;) )

Nooo, why Nova, why not Frequency*whines*

I wonder if Wire’s view is biased by the fact that he had so much involvement in EMG compared to previous efforts.
It was certainly a strong period for the band but to say the album is their best is a bit too flattering when you consider songs like The Girl Who Wanted To Be God.

I LOVE that song!!
But still, I’d go for THB anytime.

The Manics are one of the most frustrating bands around. For Me Guy has hit the nail on the head, this time next year SATT will be largely forgotten, and for why? Because, in my opinion, Manics fans try to make themselves like recent albums.

I agree. Been there, done that. Same as with other bands.

Re the live thing - i’m glad i’m not the only one who thinks that! I really wanted to get into it but despite a great setlist it all seemed a bit forced and cabaret.

That’s exactly what I thought when I saw that TV broadcast a few weeks ago (and I said the same as you about the audience, actually, so - yeah.)
