Good, at least we can get rid of the rubbish "Stipe is Gay Shock" part of that thread and get on with the more interesting dissection of "The Holy Bible"
I am amazed that whoever it was said that "Archives Of Pain" and "The Intense Humming Of Evil" weren't very good (sorry for any misquote, the archive is down) as "Archive of Pain" is to me the quintessential song of THB and the one that springs to mind whenever I think of that album.
"The Intense Humming..", on the other hand, is the song that stops it being the perfect albim and is the only one I haven't put on my I-pod. That is the one song that I think "Alright, we get it already" about and, musically, is no great shakes.
I don't want to get into "You are in a pit of wrongness" silliness here but I would be genuinely interested to hear what SR thinks of "Intense" as every Manics fan, indeed every "Holy Bible" fan I have asked appears to really dislike "Intense.."
