1985 sounds fairly similar to 1979 by the pumkins, and i dont mean because theyre both numbers!!!

To Repel Ghosts reminds me slightly of the Blade Runner music.

But as usual the lead single is never as good as the rest of the album and im afraid they may release the weaker tracks off the album as singles.

Emtpy Souls is obviously a single due to the sticker on the case lol.

I feel the reviews have being very unfair though.

A good album? Yes. A Manics album? Unfortunalty not.

 

i last saw them when richie was still in the band,generation terrorist tour,lost touch,don't sound like i'm missing much.
