If you didn't know, 70% of the lyrics in this album were written by Richey Edwards, who disappeared in 1995. He was obviously a deeply troubled person, which is very apparent in this album.

Which kind of sucks the fun out of listening to it. I am sure to some it lends the album a good deal of mystique. But to me it just felt pretty morbid. This isn't the kind of music I would like to listen to anyway.

And I'm not a fan of the cover art either.

RATING: 2/5
