I think their energy and attitude has never really survived losing Richey....they became a different band but how you can dismiss everything they've done since then?? Personally I thought Postcards lyrically was near perfect...like Nicky had found his own voice. The band themselves have never dismissed Richey's role...if anything it's held Nicky back a little, he's often seemed self conscious about his lyrics and the first to bow to Richey...but they've written some excellent songs in the years since & Postcards to me felt like the band used to feel like way back...albeit with less glitter n eyeliner Quote:
I'd add on All We Make is Entertainment...a state of the nation address...fitting for marking an historical event like the Jubilee

Sorry to contribute to the derailment but... seriously, are we really trying to call Nicky Wire a musician?! Oh dear...

I think Nicky himself will be surprise if someone calls him a musician. |
