The general public, Manic Street Preachers fans or the more "old school" Manic Street Preachers fans who have actually heard any of their records before Everything Must Go?
I mean fans of This Is My Truth, Tell Me Yours and Everything Must Go - so basically, yeah, basically the newer breed of Manics fans. People who just want catchy, guitar-driven anthems out of them. However wrong I may or may not be (I've only got through Send Away the Tigers once - really not my cuppa tea) that's how I see it.

Don't get me wrong, I love This Is My Truth... and Everything Must Go, but Send Away the Tigers to me seems like a mediocre rehash of the formula behind those two albums.
