there's nothing wrong with this album, but the thing that made it sounds bad was people are still in such a mood of 'This Is My Truth...'...you know...TIMTTMY was not a quick-paced music,so when they're back with the rocky KYE,it was a bit of 'shock therapy' for people (the critiques).this is an alright album with superb contents. but still...I gave it 8 because eventhough I'm an avid fan of every single MSP album, I can't get myself to enjoy 'Wattsville Blues' (Nicky must be drunk when he sings,it's so out of tunes) and 'So Why So Sad' (it must be the intro.that 'parapa-parapa-parapa' chants made it sounded,well,cheesy).those two songs just don't fit there.

some songs are very good! Ocean spray, So why so sad are the best, and u will never find songs similar to them in any album in the history, but as a whole This is My Truth Tell me Yours is their best album! maybe the only album in my music listening history that i really loved each single song in it!

Sorry people I don't get it, It's my favourite Manics album and one you can listen to over and over again because of the great variety of styles! From Ocean Spray to intensive rockers as Intravenous Agnostic and the great Dead Martyrs, this album is the real thing. Experimental and beautiful, a not so common combination nowadays
fabulous disaster gave it a 10:
Although some of Nicky's lyrics are way too intelligent for me I give KYE 10 out of 10 for effort, it has some beautiful songs i.e. Let Robeson Sing and So Why So Sad [a real pop song] Not what some fans expected but there are rockier songs too like Found That Soul. I think there's something for everyone if only they'd give it a chance. I like its diversity.
Elena gave it a 10:
I like this album, the CD lyrics' style makes you feel so close to them:). My favorites are 'Ocean Spray', 'So Why So Sad', 'His Last Painting'...
