After ca. 30 listenings, for me it's a 7,5/10, but a gave it a round 8. Really like the album.

1. EMG 10/10
2. THB 10/10
3. TIMTTMY 9,5/10
4. JFPL 8,5/10
5. GT 8,5/10
6. LB 8/10
7. PFAYM 7,5/10
8. KYE 7/10
9. SATT 7/10 (can't really stand the singles "YLAINE" and "Underdogs", otherwise it would've been a 9 for me...)
10. GATS 6/10

After two listens I've come to the conclusion that it's a solid rather than spectacular affair but that could change after a few more listens I guess. It's certainly better than LB or KYE but it suffers a bit from a lack of variety I feel. It could have done with a couple of down tempo acoustic style tracks. That said, it's probably the most uplifting album the band have ever recorded! The band certainly have to be complimented for giving the commercial route a bash and I can see the sense in the 'one last shot...' comments. My favourite track thus far is 'Auto-Intoxication', the guitar breakdown just before the chorus is sensational! In the context of the album I still believe that INWJTEOL was the ideal lead single and I think it's a great album opener.
7 out 10 for me overall

6, because of 4-5 REALLY good tracks, and some decent tunes.

gaah pathetic, just got an email from "manics.co.uk" asking me to help them get to #1. Whatever happened to earning your kudos rather than begging like a crackho?

I'm still at an 8 but it's a high 8. I straddled the 8 and 9. Maybe once I get my actual physical copy of the CD, it'll bump-up to a 9.

Opinions seem to be improving as time goes one, excellent, might give it a 7.5 now.

Am leaning towards an 8 from my original 7...still think 'Hazelton Avenue' and 'The Descent' are a bit weak but decent tracks. SKON is without doubt one of the best things the band have ever recorded.
