Lifeblood by a thousand miles!

Except for the singles, GT is a pretty bad album I think, their worst album to date - and the few good songs justice suffer under a disastrously bad production.

Lifeblood is a highly underrated album... among their 4 best IMO.

Empty souls is monstrously good but I'm afraid GT beats LB by a country mile.

No, they meant to do an album with 'city' songs, and only Cardiff Afterlife stayed.

GT is my favorite album, I like to think of the Manics as little glam-metal media terrorists forever!

Both have a handful of filler tracks... But I choose GT.
