I don't. It's been 29 years since Generation Terrorists and somehow the Manics keep finding new ways to keep things fresh, and this new single is a gem.

This is their 14th album apparently! So they are catching up with the Stranglers! A good single but I prefer the Stranglers one.

29 years on from Rattus, The Stranglers were putting out Suite XVI. The Manics never put out a run of records that were as sub-par as The Stranglers '90s albums, so it's fair to say they're outclassing them even at this stage.

I really like the Manics but I don't return to their albums as much as the Stranglers.

Always loved the Manics since Generation Terrorists although not bought the last 3 or 4 albums, yet. Jeez Generation Terrorists nearly 30 years ago already.

I also really admired their cover version of Duchess.
