Here's an ickle colection of things that made me laugh or beam with joy.

"Then again, maybe it's old duffers like us who are missing the point. That might explain why we feel a tad bored at times even though the youngsters are moshing like furbies on crack and screaming along to every word."

"Draper waggles his bum from side to side like...like...well, a gay dad at a wedding actually."

"It's clear they're not only the most inventive band in Britain, but on blistering live form too. Blimey."

"The jury still remains out on whether Mansun are geniuses or pretentious crackpots, but in the meantime they've fashioned an album that is simply astonishing."

"Six is a monumental benchmark in the post-britpop vacuum"

"But the most amazing thing about Six is the realisation that the likes of Ashcroft, Butler and Yorke might learn something from it."

"Over the far side Stove the bassist is wearing the skinniest, skinny-rib shirt in the world and is looking like rock hero on toast. Enviable."

"Former Magazine/Buzzcocks genius Howard Devoto's first recording in eight years. Still miles above and way apart."

"It is difficult to imagine a better album being made this side of the millenium."

Now don't they just make you proud. See, not *everyone* hates Mansun...
