There has been a fair share of fall outs, strops and deaths to deal with - in fact it's almost a badge if honour for a group to have at least one bust up and reconciliation. Actually one could argue that it's financially advantageous to do so; Simon & Garfunkel, Blur, Take That, The Sex Pistols and even Pink Floyd have all done the split/reunion thing. But how do you deal with a disappearance?
Of course it'll depend on who does the disappearing. I imagine that Happy Mondays could've managed quite well if Bez had vanished, I don't think Robert Smith would've been too disheartened had Lol Tolhurst not turned in for work and I bet there were days when Noel Gallagher wished Liam would F-off but lose your lyricist? How on earth do you get over that?
Well you just get on with it and release a cracking album that's how. It's been a while since I last played this and I'd forgotten just how great it is; 'Design For Life', 'Australia' and 'The Girl Who Wanted To Be God' are top tracks and proof that there was life after Richey Edwards withdrew from public life.
