No I can't do it. I can't get past the whiny sounding intro and naff dancey drum beat. It sounds like some crap off a Yamaha keyboard from the 80s!

Everything will be: possibly the most disappointing thing they've ever done.
At Glastonbury 2003, Manics: we're going to play a new song
Fans: great!
Manics: it's called everything will be
Fans: oh, the title sounds a bit like everything must go, but never mind, carry on
Manics play everything will be
Manics: did you like it?
Fans: Er, not really...
Nicky: stick it on the b-side pile James...

I love it. My favourite b-side from the Lifeblood era along with The Soulmates.

Everybody Knows/Nobody Cares - I just don't get it! I like the other Lifeblood b-sides but I can't stand this.

Bored Out Of My Mind - Just because it is pretty boring and plods on.

No One Knows What It's Like To Be Me - I'm not that keen on the EMG era, I love Dead Passive and Black Garden b-sides wise but that's it.

Velocity Girl - In my opinion that is their worst cover as well.

That really shiny version of 'Spectators of Suicide' which was recorded on Heavenly. I prefer the ballad-y album version by far.

Surprised by the number of Little Girl Lost mentions. It's one of my favourites from that era. Short? Yes, but with one hell of a punch. It certain shits on the likes of Foggy Eyes and Welcome To The Dead Zone (yawn)

Shiny?! It's an amazing wall of soundy song which just builds and builds, best song from that era.

I find it infinitely better than the abomination that is 'Rock 'n' Roll Music'. Ugh. Awful song.

Foggy Eyes winds me up. WTTDZ's not that bad though.

The problem with the band now opposed to the first 5 or so albums is that they're too quick to end songs once they get going. LGL is a prime example of something that could have been great had it had another verse or a great outtro.
