   This band NEVER fails......why??? Cause they are to dam smart that's why! Anyone who claims that the Manics have "changed" or "softened " is the exact same person that would say they were boring if they DID'NT "mix it up" every album. Nick Dresden of Q magazine obviosly has some kind of hatred for this band. Never have i read a reviewer rip into a band with absolutley nothing to back it up except his own hate for the band. Q magazine never should have even printed such a review... its almost racist! Oh yeah and by the way ... Know Your Enemy was great too. And let us never forget this is the band that gave us the Holy Bible and Everything Must Go.… Expand

   (A Manics fan writes...) : Every band has to evolve and change - to fail to do so results in being bogged down in mediocrity and becoming a one trick pony such as Nickleback, Coldplay or No Doubt. But the Manics have evolved into something without urgency, without fire in the belly and without brazenous balls. This is not what I fell in love with and my disappointment in this album feels as hollowing as breaking up with a boyfriend. Lifeblood is very pleasant - but pleasant isn't what has had me hooked into the Manics for all these years. Thanks for the trip, guys. It's been a blast!… Expand
