Have you seen The Manics lately? Man, they're not the same. They used to have all this rage, and now they're just defeated, no fight in them.
Here's a band barely recognizable from The Holy Bible. Not satisfied, not selling out, but not ranting about it anymore, just staring at the stars and watching the world end. It's pretty, beautiful even, brutally straightforward (see the bare sentiment and frail accompaniment of Born a Girl, My Little Empire, and If You Tolerate This), full of chiming, layered guitars and more, but no fun at all, never quite coming up for air and gone 3/5
