Would it be right to say this record is a lot more *fun* than its reputation? For all its indulgences, it's full of amazing hooks and silly hummable bits. Even with a song called "Cancer", it's not as ponderous as, say, Dog Man Star.

You'd be absolutely right.

Voted 'Shotgun'

I'm voting for the title track here. I have been living with that shorter remix and that version doesn't do the song justice

Just made it and going for "Cancer."

'Cancer' is probably my least favourite thing on this, fwiw.

fun fact: this album and the Manics' This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours came out a week apart. Recall that the Manics album features (the lovely) "Born a Girl."

Recall that This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours was a piss poor follow-up to a great record, and this was a beyond excellent follow up to a good record.
