Released on 24/08/1998
Label: Epic

Without doubt one of the most eagerly anticipated singles of 1998, the Manics' first single since their 1997 Brit Awards for best British group and best British album with the double platinum 'Everything Must Go' still has the jury out.

Fans and critics seem torn over whether it's too epic and too similar to previous material. But beyond the hype there is something naggingly simple and intelligent about the guitar line, the powerful lyrics and their passionate delivery.

Early radio support has already seen them breach the airplay top 20; if this doesn't debut at number one, something will be seriously wrong.
