Nearby Stoke Newington is a breeding ground for bulldog dykes. They are the ones to blame for any possible revival too.

Fucking hell Pablo. Are they keeping well?

i've always been put off listening to the holy bible because the thing that people always mention about this album is the lyrics, nobody ever says a word about the music, thank you glice for confirming my suspicions that people never talk about the music because it is shit.
i was never a member of the nail varnish and eyeliner club and i think i can live with out some lyrics about a man who wished he was an anorexic teenage girl.

lets face facts, richie edwards was probably a paedo who got chucked of a bridge by some toddler's dad.

Best oxymoronic sentence ever.

You might like the Holy Bible though - I've a feeling you'd like to listen to cock-rock, but find it all a bit ghastly and American, so the Holy Bible would suit you fine.

Actually, in Richie-related news, I know someone who's not a Manics fan and not the sort to make up utter shite who claims she met Richie in India sometime in the late 90s.

The music is very PIL-like, although this is probably mostly down to the production which is quite alot like Atomiser by Big Black i think. Its certainly their best album and its the only one i go back to from my teenage years, the rest of them have their moments but its mostly nostalgia value, the holy bible still has a serious kick about it. I do like the idea that he's alive and well and working at a sewage plant or something, and lets face it, in a world of Razorlights it is nice to have pop stars who arent completely sure of their own greatness.

and yeah, i never knew anyone growing up who was part of the leopardprint brigade or any of that business, but i wish i had, i could have had better girlfriends.

you can tell the closet fags by how much they declare hate for this album.

just sayin.

i listened to 3 songs from it on youtube and it weas nothing like big black or pil, it was like a cross between bruce springsteen and u2.

what a horrifying comparison

The music sounds like Joy Division, fm american rock, and some samples. No U2, no Bruce Springsteen.

???

anyway, i don't know why i'm still going on about this.

You have. Not all american fm rock sounds the same. Anyway, whatever, you don't like the record, why are you going on about it?

jk/./..

Oooooohhhhh!

I truely miss internetting based on board members who rarely talk about anything else. it was miles of fun. I definately remember lots of 'i saw richey at tescos today nd wi chose nail varnish together, here r sum pix'

PIL? You fucking what?

to try and make the people who do like it to not like it, obviously.

Well, I'm listening to it for the 7th time in the past few days, so you've not convinced me yet.

You have dirty dishes to wash. Carry on, concentrate on them, they are more important than this. Seriously. No, wait, not seriously. Carry on you have the time in the world. Seriously, no, wait, you have the time in the world to wash the dishes. Seriously, you please carry on telling us. Seriously. Yawn.

no. you just don't like them.
i could make up a few words like that to describe yr favourite album and still, it'd be just an opinion.

theyre not great, but its a good album
