I liked TiMT but not really now. They did certainly lose their edge after The Holy Bible but there are a couple of good records since that one. THB is one of my favourite records, i love very nearly every little thing about it. My avatar used to be Richey Edwards holding his hand to his temple like a gun. I think its very nearly flawless.
That being said though, Lifeblood is a terrific album. It couldn't be any different in comparison but it's beautiful. I like that they took a risk with it and went in another direction and i think they got it right.
Journal for Plague Lovers is another great album and the closest the band have ever and will ever come to The Holy Bible.
