If you take 6 years (without splitting and reforming) your album has to be incredible ...

... Sadly it wasn't. Had its moments but not of the highest order - shame really as the first album was spectacular.

Can't listen to their debut any more though - three years of living in Manc has put me right off it. It's amazing how much of the city still lives in 1989 ...
