I love the B sides of Send Away the Tigers.

It's a really tough call, but I went for Know Your Enemy.

Just A Kid, Groundhog Days, Didn't My Lord Deliver Daniel, Masking Tape - this was meant to just be a list of my favourites from that era, but writing it makes me realise there isn't a single one that isn't great!

All of the proceeding eras were candidates too, although I'm baffled by the amount of love for the SATT b-sides- but I'm happy that there are people who can see something in them that I don't, and love the newer Manics output even more than their past!

I think that the Know Your Enemy era is the only one where the b-sides have actually consistantly surpassed the album tracks, and they were more cohesive too.

I think that the SATT b-sides was everything that the actual album should have been.
