@YoYo I don't think he plays much guitar but he still writes lyrics (more than half the time, I think) as with this

Don't get me wrong I prefer Gold to this. They said that rather than do their thing they bowed to what the label wanted them to release and fucking hated it as a result.

I listened to Sleepflower also, it sounded pretty rad. How could they have hated that song?

@YoYo Yeah Generation Terrorists is a balls-out rocker.

@Zak You prefer it to this? Damn, you must have some pretty major problems with this then.

Yeah YoYo there's a bit of shit on Gold but the second half mostly is gold. Did you check the link I posted last page?

Your talking about one of the most self loathing bunch who ever existed in the early 90s. Richey Edwards made Cobain look like one of the Teletubbies.

Well I answered your question there. Heard this for the first time a month or two ago, listening to the rest of their discog today because I've been sitting on it far too long

I actually remember when this was released and it was playing in the record store I thought it sounded fucking amazing but didn't go near it. Manics were for girls with "issues" they really were emo before the nonsense of emo.

Picked it up second hand years later and found nothing here.

As amazing as this is, Know Your Enemy is pretty fucking terrible
