I'm also enjoying it so far. It isn't comparible to The Holy Bible and frankly comparing Manics albums to that became boring a long time ago but I think what it is is that it is indeed radio-friendly just like they said it would be, but thanks to nice melodies and fantastic use of the choir and a string section it is a very smooth, enjoyable pop record.
Certainly nothing spectacular and i'm already thinking that I could bore of it easily and end up with a much more negative opinion of the record as a whole in time but for now I am liking it.
