no one talks about mansun enough. the nme have given the godlike genius award to the manic street preachers when mansun should be taking that crown. but that would never happen. so.............
six or attack of the grey lanterns?
i think its tough but at a push i'd go with six for the sheer beauty of 'cancer'.
i used to like them
but, relistened to attack of... recently and found it to be reallllly really.... shit.
not much else i can add!! hahaha
Gah
I didn't think it'd age that much... I don't think I have a copy anymore though.
I'd go with Six too, just...
But they're an amazing band, and I'll always argue in their favour...
Six
fucking unbelievably brilliant record. coincidentally i've just come back home from seeing the manics. they let some shit from the enemy play along to 'you love us'.
hmm i'm lost for words at this point
Six is so fucking under rated
I'd have that over Attack of the Grey Lantern any day.
They're both totally different
and both 10/10 perfect.
perhaps not 10/10
but both very good !
ive only listened
to that single wide open space. but that was absolutely sick
I'd probably go for Six, just
both great albums. And Little Kix isn't as dreadful as some people would have you believe.
i bought AOTGL recently as it was recommended
and it doesn't sit nicely on my palate
Buy Kleptomania!
Although the 'lost' album on that's a bit appalling. Six is best! They seemed to run out ideas after that, although it's perhaps a bit understandable given how many ideas are on that record.
Anyone else think 'How to disappear completely' is a rip off of 'You Who Do You Hate'? (It's probably just me!)
Six is amazing
I'm quite sure at the time NME slated it. I'm glad i didn;t listen cus it's a fantastic lp.
Klepomania is brilliant as well, it's a shame they never saw it through fully. I saw them on that last tour and they were were dreadful, they looked like a band about to split up. I'd be depressed being made to play Dudley of all places.
i think they gave "Six" a 6/10, haha
i still love it though, it's stood the test of time. need to get "kleptomania"...
Mansun
God, I adored that band.
Six
is easily on of my all time favourite albums. I hated most of it when I got it as well, and everyone laughed at it. Its wonderful, and far better than Attack Of... and Little Kix (which was fairly shit)
Kleptomania suggested a return to form, Love Remains is one of my favourite Mansun songs. I miss them.
Brilliant band, underated band! - fuck the Manics!
Grey Lantern 9/10, Six 10/10!
Perhaps
Mansun didn't win because they split up a good few years back. But I'm with you on their brilliance. Very underrated and unappreciated. Six is more lively than Attack.. so it all depends on the mood. Hard to choose! Little Kix on the other hand.. well, I think they split at the right time.
Smack heads
Sad but true...
Great band
Still influential
SIX... what an album
Yeah they were immense
I would go for Six, local legends round these parts are Mansun
