Pretty standard for anyone who's not hugely mainstream these days sadly. Chart positions for bands like the Manics are about the size of their fanbase rather than their commercial appeal now.

Noticed the standard CD version on Amazon is now at £7.25. Guess they've lowered it as they actually want to sell come copies!

When do you think Complicated Illusions will be the next "single" for the Radio?
And maybe a different thread but how pissed off do you think Bruce Dickinson is over Manics getting a number one album?

TUVL is my favourite album since JFPL. Really hope to get to a gig in 2022.

OMG, after being stuck in customs for a fucking month, my copy of the album is finally on it's way to me, and I can finally join the conversation!

(I usually go vinyl, but I've found Manics' vinyl quality to be sorely lacking, so I opted for the deluxe to get the demo tracks and book packaging, to match my other Manics "books")

I was gonna joke that the folks in customs were listening to the album, but who am I kidding - I feel like I'm pretty much the only Manics fan in The States.

Will it be another lyric video with stock imagery by Evans again that only a handful of us will bother to watch? Guess it's the end for promotion for the album now sadly.
Funnily enough I was talking to a lad I support who likes Strictly Come Dancing. I was telling him the other day "my favourite band were on there 11 years ago" so I showed him the thumbnail on Youtube and was like "Wow, they could get on there again if they wanted to". I laughed and said it's not that simple for bands to get on TV nowadays sadly to perform and promote their work. Had no TV promo at all for this album sadly, not one thing
