Thanks to this I just watched the promo single for "She Will Only Bring You Happiness." I had no idea the single mix changed the bridge to "our old singer is an ex-criminal."

Anyhow, Future Of The Left are quite good. "Real Men Hunt In Packs" is now my Myspace profile song.

Awesome, always did love me a little Mclusky.  The name choice sounds a little provocative, no?

They sound pretty cool, hopefully they'll hook up with Albini and make a stonkin' record for people to break plasterboard to!

but the music sucks because the keyboards don't have the cold/mechanical sound they had but a wannabe techno sound that it's pathetic for Rammstein standars.

   1. "Without MSG I Am Nothing" - 2:57 (Falkous, Chapple, Harding)
   2. "That Man Will Not Hang" - 3:00
   3. "She Will Only Bring You Happiness" - 3:27
   4. "KKKitchens, What Were You Thinking?" - 1:50
   5. "Your Children Are Waiting for You to Die" - 3:54
   6. "Icarus Smicarus" - 1:51
   7. "Slay!" - 2:54
   8. "You Should Be Ashamed, Seamus" - 4:40
   9. "Lucky Jim" - 2:02
  10. "Forget About Him I'm Mint" - 1:46
  11. "1956 and All That" - 2:24 (Falkous, Chapple, Harding)
  12. "Falco vs. the Young Canoeist" - 2:12
  13. "Support Systems" - 7:50

Yeah I have to agree with Kai on this one. Those first four tracks alone make this one a keeper.

Though, in retrospect, perhaps it's telling that the B-sides disc of mcluskyism is my favourite.

1956 and All That has some of my favourite guitar playing on any song.  Honestly, that guitar tone makes Shellac sound tinny in comparison!

Yeah but Kai broke the 'No Coloreds' rule so his opinion is null and void.

He disobeyed the apartheid!

I have a horrible feeling that Shooting At Unarmed Men were in Australia late last year and played a show with The Nation Blue, and I got there too late to see them.
Am I wrong? Australian mclusky fans?
