Where does PFAYM rank for you?

With Nicky saying its one of his favourites, where does it rank for you?

For me it's 5th.

I'd rank it as 5th in my album list.

The first half or so is great, the second half not so much. I like it more than SATT, but probably a bit less than GT (more inconsistent but better highlights) so probably about 9th or so.

Definite tenth, not that I don't like it, just nowhere near as much as their other work.

With the title track, I would put it in my top 3, without the title track, it slips down to about 4th/5th.

So, on balance I would probably rank the albums thus:

Journal For Plague Lovers
Lifeblood
Send Away The Tigers
Postcards
Gold Against The Soul
The Holy Bible
TIMTTMY
EMG
KYE
GT

But I think TGW is better than all of the Manics albums.... very controversial, I know.

I prefer the second half which is less commercial to my ears.

As for ranking, it's not so bad but I'd have it pretty close to the bottom.

Its Not War, Postcards, Some Kind Of Nothingness, Balconies, Golden Platitudes, Don't be evil and Descent - all great songs - the rest is pants.
