It’s pretty bloody good isn’t it. 4/5 for me after one listen. I think it might be a grower as well. After being a bit underwhelmed by the singles I have been presently surprised by how much I liked it.

Can't believe the majority score is 4/5. That means Even in Exile is about 9.5/5.

Funny that Lifeblood, TGW, SATT, EIE and TUVL are probably my five favourite Manics related albums (along with JFPL).

Even in Exile is probably the best Manics / solo album since … everything must go maybe? As much as I rate many other albums, I love KYE, I like lifeblood, everything after. But even In exile is fantastic. The lyrics, the songwriting, the music, the guitars, the voice, absolutely fantastic.

Even in exile took a while to fully appreciate for me but it is stellar. I'm happy to give tuvl a long time to sink in

It's lovely. It's a cool breeze on a fevered brow.
I waited six days to listen to it, because I was so worried that I wouldn't like it, but all my doubts were baseless. Diapause is beautiful.

Went for a walk earlier and listening to the album it really sounded wonderful while “enjoying beautiful blue skies and golden sunshine all along the way” to quote a certain filmmaker.
“Everyone, have a great day!”

Despite a very negative initial reaction I've really come round to about half of it. Sapporo is today's earworm. I'm surprised to admit I'm now a 4 on this.

Voted 4/5 though it's more of a 7/10 at the moment - but it might flip higher in the coming weeks. I am very much getting a little more obsessed about this every time I listen which is surprising, but welcome.

Great review, totally agree with most of what you say here, I would just knock Orwellian and Into the waves of love down a few points but everything else 👍

I originally gave this a 3, but it’s easily a 4. Job well done.
